First of all, thanks for the informative post, Larry. Thanks for the effort.

It seems to me that the debate "date vs no date" Subs is as old as time itself. I can remember being at my AD when i bought mine, I must have run back to the store 3 or 4 times before finally going for a non date Sub. It's not that I hate the cyclops too much, since the magnified date is and will always be an iconic Rolex feature, but I guess I'm just one of those people who prefer to look at the Sub in a purely functional way: in this sense, the 14060 M does have a no nonsense, cleaner and slightly more utilitarian look to it. No other watch in the Rolex line (safe for maybe the Explorer I) conveys that message in my opinion. I also think the 14060 M looks gorgeous with he COSC inscription.

I just hope that Rolex will come out with a ceramic 14060 M COSC hopefully in the near future just to see what it looks like.
