Hi All,
Back to being a Rolex owner again! I bought a 114060 in 2013 and sold it in 2018 for a Seamaser 300 60th anniversary I toyed with the idea of picking up another 114060, but in honesty I found it a little too shiny and too much presence. Also the square shape didn't look great with straps which is something I like to play with. A chance encounter with a 5 digit Sub and the search was on. A few months on and I have my very own Y serial 14060M! It's been serviced and given a very light polish. Bracelet is pretty firm and lugs are sharp. Wears like a dream. If anyone has any NATO brands they recommend that fit, please post. Shocked at the narrow gap and no strap I own will fit. Anyway, thanks for reading! If I have messed up, please say!! |

Congratulations!! Excellent choice for a return to Rolex, Dan!
You just can’t go wrong with a 5-digit reference. |

Congrats! Love my 14060. It goes just about anywhere and ages well. I’m partial to the cheapie Natos from Nato Strap Co. As you pointed out, the higher quality Natos are a little more difficult to thread.

Great choice!
I had a 116610 for a couple of months but sold it because like you said, the 6 digits just don't suit straps, and I wanted to wear it on natos mainly as it was my daily. Bought a 5 digit instead and couldn't be happier. These look so much better on natos than the ceramic references. I recommend Blushark straps, very good quality! You may also want to get curved springbars as these make it easier when using thicker natos. |

Congratulations
I agree the older 4and 5 digit references look better on nato straps than the modern ceramics |
