A league of their own-
Larry did an excellent review in this older thread, and when doing research on shock and water depth resistance of the Submariner references-It had to take. The 10 sub-heading attributes are excellent and pretty much correct. About number 1 and #4): However, in Paul Altieri's " Last of the Best" 2018 historical tech article on the 14060-14060 M Submariner references, the 14060 had the 3000 caliber WITHOUT a Breguet overcoil hairspring and did NOT have a full balanced bridge. This was corrected with the 14060M, indicating modified-3130 caliber- with inclusion of both these reliable accuracy features. In 2007, Rolex decided to add the COSC designation with a 4-line dial chronometer movement. For those who really follow the evolution of the Rolex Submariner, Altieri's article on the 14060/14060M "Last of the Best" article is required reading. I certainly agree with his line of reasoning on the lug holed, Triplock-Breguet hair springed -full balance bridge deep diving 14060M Submariner. It may just be the last of the best. |
