The 2-liner 14060M I find better balanced aesthetically than the later (post-2007) 4-liner 14060M. Why so? Hear me out...whether you agree/disagree. The reason many prefer the no-date over the date sub is the absence of the date/magnifier which throws off the symmetry of the dial and case. That is the reason I too prefer the no-date sub. Add to that the following: the no-date sub, with all its symmetry (compared with the date sub) gives you the choice of the 2-line (pre-2007) or 4-line (post-2007) dial, although I understand there are post-2007 2-liners too. The 2-liner perfectly balances, from the six o'clock side ("Submariner" and "1000ft=300m"), the 2 lines on the 12 o'clock side ("Rolex" and "Oyster Perpetual"). The 4-liner throws off that symmetry. So, if the greatest symmetry is your preference, 2-line sub is the one to have. If you could not care less about symmetry, then the 2-line, 4-line or date sub may work equally well for you.
