It could then it could not but most of the last 14060M did have a in-house parachrom hairspring.But no big deal either way both parachrom and the Nivorax ones are just hairsprings. And on the wrist in the real world would doubt if you would find any difference.And the only way to tell is get the back off which I would doubt if any AD would do.And to be honest cannot see the point of getting the back off any watch if its not really necessary like say a fault.As watch will have to be opened and pressure checked and if done by a in-experienced hands could coarse more trouble than what it was worth.Just enjoy wearing your watch in good health for the next 20 plus years that's far more important than a name of a hairspring.
