According to the Consensual List of NWBIGs or Super Reps it's the "Rolex Submariner (114060) No Date B-C Noob V7".
Not my recommendation...I was just doing some research and came across this list on the forums. YMMV

That’s what I’m interested in. Always wanted a no-date. I’ve just been out the loop for a long time. Thanks for the lead buddy

Best if you are going to wear it ‘out of the box’, BP 114060 SA3130. The dial, case shape, crown(now), xtal, and engravings are really good and gen like. The bezel isn’t great due to the non original insert construction (reversed retaining ring and ceramic treated metal insert) but, the click count, height and physical appearance is good. The bracelet SEL’s are good however, I’ve seen flattened links come out of the factory. As a fix the ARF bracelet does fit. Otherwise, trust me don’t fart with mods on this watch. Live1 has a good review of this watch. (Easy search)

Now if you’re going to Franken it, the Noob v7 SA3130 is the way to go. The case is great and accommodates direct gen parts with little or no mods. However, out of the box, the dial, bezel, insert, and engraving have repro tells. SELs are hit and miss. However, you can do a gen bezel (or insert), dial, crown, hands, crown, ARF bracelet and move to a Yuki movement when the SA dies. You would have a killer franken.

Hi everyone
very new to this world. Amazed by this forum and the info obtained.
I am also looking to buy a sub no date and wish not to spend extra money.
I wrote to Pure time and they suggested this model :
https://puretime.io/submariner-114060-no-date-black-ceramic-v8-1-1-noob-best-edition-a2836.html

according to Puretime this is the model that goes closest to the gen.
Still puzzled by the movement I have read so much that I am bit confused.

what do you guys suggest ?

thanks in advance
