inside the 14060M
Thanks for the review ! I have the 14060M since 2001 and still love it , sometimes I wear my Omgea Speedmaster professional but after a day I miss the Sub and feel happy to put it on again !
The 3130 movement is one of the best Rolex ever made ! |

Great review, and an all time great watch. I'm lusting after one already. Maybe if I could realise enough cash through my 1665 SD, I could have one to replace it. And be left with money to pay the day to day bills.
I'll have to think about it when it's back from it's service. John. |

Sub all the way!
Totally agree about your reason for having the sub. I own an Explorer II black face. I love this watch and it's a great 'everyday' watch for work and stuff. I travel a lot and am looking to move somewhere where I can swim, surf, sail a lot so I decided today to purchase a Sub non date. To me it's just the right kind of watch to have with me for all occasions. Simple. elegant but rugged enough to do anything with. It's not just a watch. It's a part of the person wearing it!

Very nice review! I am totall agree with you Ed. I'm not a big fan of cyclops in watches.
Can anyone please let me know the difference between 14060 and 14060M? And since when the "M" start produced? or starting with which serial number? Many thanks guys Last edited by gmtobsessed; 22 June 2008 at 02:33 PM.. Reason: mispelling |

Reference 14060 was introduced in 1989, concurrently with the new Submariner Date 16610, with the new caliber 3000. This watch was produced for 10 years, from 1989 through 1999. It introduced the white gold surrounds to the hour markers, sapphire crystal, and new fast-beat 28,800 BPH movement. The difference between the caliber 3000 as used in the non-date reference 14060 versus the caliber 3135 used in the 16610 Submariner Date is, obviously the lack of date complication and the absence of C.O.S.C. certification. Finally, the reference 14060M, marks the last meaningful upgrade to the Submariner line. The 14060M was introduced to replace the 14060. The meaningful difference being an improved caliber 3130, which features a balance bridge for increased shock protection and improved operating rate (i.e.: better timekeeping) and improved winding system.

Thank you for the info boa2!
I also notice in the same 14060M that there are 2 different writing on the dial, I spotted Y series with only "submariner 1000ft=300m" plus newer M series with additional "superlative chrono.......". Is it how you differentiate non COSC and COSC?? Thank you again Last edited by gmtobsessed; 22 June 2008 at 05:50 PM.. Reason: mispell (again) |

I'm seriously considering the Sub ND as my next Rolex purchase whenever that may be. I like the simplicity and the overall look is awesome. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as it reinforces my feelings on the watch.

Why does the 1000ft=300m look different on some of the new subs? Sone of them have more distance between the = sign and the 300 M. If you look at the pis in this thread. The first pics shoe a big difference. My COSC no date sub looks even and doesn't have that great of distance.
