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. |

I like the colors of the 3135/3130 cal movements. Especially
the Breguet overcoil spring, larger balance wheel, and full balance bridge. Even the white COSC lettering color.... All the colors have a professionally engineered " Rolex Design" tint to them. Its kinda tool watch warm to resurrect a pertinent older thread........... _____________________________________ "It feels good to break a rule occasionally.."................Robert Redford |

Cool. As an engineer I appreciate the details.

In addition to the excellent durable virtues of Rolex engineering, particularly the tool watches- there is timeless value. The current Submariners will last as long as their vintage cousins, and some of the vintage watches give 50 years of service like the 5513 and 1680 references.
Few other watches give 50 years of service, then have appreciated in value better than blue chip stocks. So, keeping the slightly faster newer watches serviced is a good investment in current reliable use, and future eventual value. Rolex watches seldom go down in price over time. Maybe you can know the correct time while wearing a hedge against inflation. |

Are you kidding me, watch designers? A watch that can be damaged so easily? We know the "high end" expensive brands that feature this stupidity. Jeesh! And for that reason alone I would never own that type of archaic movement "technology". {Just my humble opinion; others' views may vary.}
