Hi. I'm planning to buy my first Rolex.I have a zero idea about Rolex. So,  I'd visit to AD and try the Submariner ND which is my target but I forgot to ask the reference of that Submariner. I guess it is a 114060 as in Rolex website. Hope anyone here can help me.

- Is there any other version of Submariner still available in AD nowadays beside the 114060?

- I had read there is Submariner with the aluminum bezel, the 14060, 14060m which is confusing.

- All submariner even with no date use ceramic bezel?
6series reference are the modern references.
114060 is the subc. 116610 is the subc with date.
The older variants are 14060 and 16610. U getz?

Aluminum bezel with smaller lug is 14060 or 14060M
using 3130 in house movement
release in the 90s and discontinue in 2012, but some AD still have new old stock until 2 yrs ago

Ceramic bezel with bigger lug is 114060
this is the current model
using 3135 movement

Thank you yehlai and mikeylacroix for the reply. I had narrow down my search  to 114060 SubC NO date. I'm really new to Rolex. The glossy bezel of that SubC is really nice. I still do some research before buying.

The last issue of 14060M with random serial numbers is also fitted with Parachrom Bleu hair spring.
Although only a small fraction of it is fitted.(making it a real collectors).

Yes, my very late batch 14060M also don't have Parachrom Bleu, but not sure if RSC can have change if you willing to pay.

BTW, the 14050M you posted is Parachrom ed?

Sigh .. I wish they'll revert back to the two-liners.

Not a fan of the "new" 4-liners - (you too, Tudor)

I am coming from a purely cosmetic point of view. I prefer less text on the dial.
