Inside the Rolex Submariner 114060 is the totally in-house made caliber 3130 automatic. It is an utterly well-made, no nonsense workhorse of the highest caliber (no pun intended) that just tells the time. Rolex COSC Chronometer certifies each of these watches (as they do with most of their watches) and it has proven to be highly accurate and reliable (for a mechanical watch, of course).

If I had to have a complaint about the Rolex Submariner 114060, it would be about the coating over the sapphire crystal. Rolex puts anti-reflective (AR) coating on the bottom of the crystal only, and not the top. That means that there is glare; but not too much since it is flat crystal. I like the idea of having so much AR coating on a sapphire crystal that it looks invisible and that you can stick your finger right onto the dial. I am not sure why Rolex does not use AR coating on the top of the crystal, but I am sure they have a good reason. I have have two hypothesized reasons why they don’t. First is because AR coating can wear off and Rolex doesn’t like for their watches to have areas that are too susceptible to wear. Second is because glare causes things to shine a bit and I think Rolex likes the idea that their watches might attract a bit of onlooker attention because the crystal catches light.
