My first Rolex (Submariner 14060)

I have to say I'd never been a Rolex fan but once I had this 1997 Submariner on my wrist it was not coming back off. Except for a few pics.

The tritium lume is as good as dead, can just about make it out at 1cm in a pitch black room after hours in the light but I've already read enough to discourage me doing anything to fix that. It'll stay as it is, classic, clean and understated. Love it!

Beautiful watch . I had one some years ago and loved it. I now have a "V" series 16610 just because I needed the date function. Wear it proudly and in good health, its a classic that will never go out of style

That looks just about in the same condition as my brand new 14060M, excellent! Great choice.
