Honestly, there are 1000 reasons why the Rolex Submariner 14060M is the best Rolex ever. Most importantly, it was the last semi-certified chronometer Sub, and it is relatively affordable compared to a brand-new 124060. Does anybody here agree with me?

Marcjvr · 23 February 2024, 09:28 PM

Sure

Alixanderov · 23 February 2024, 09:30 PM

My dream watch is the Submariner no-date, and if I ever get the opportunity to buy one, I would choose the 14060M over the 124060.

EEpro · 23 February 2024, 09:31 PM

I like my Daytonas better but I can see why people like it for sure.

7enderbender · 23 February 2024, 09:36 PM

For me it’s a close second after a 16600. Same idea though.

I like having a date function. A Rolex no date Sub however, is often regarded as a must for a Rolex collector. I had a 114060, I traded it for a BLNR.

Scottyboy · 23 February 2024, 10:15 PM

It's a great watch. I prefer the 124060, but there is no wrong answer when it comes to a classic Submariner.

sazzymerlot · 23 February 2024, 10:20 PM

performance is criteria for me -- 26 year old 1998 sub, never opened, never serviced, never stopped -- running 5 seconds fast / day. -- it ran +/- zero seconds for 1st 20 years. -- scary stuff -- what other watch on the planet can beat that.

Dan Pierce · 23 February 2024, 10:22 PM

Glad you found your best. Mine is the 16710 GMT II. The extra functions and bezel/ bracelet combos make it my all time GOAT.

Depends.

Divingdeep87 · 23 February 2024, 10:49 PM

I owned the 14060m, 114060 and the 124060. The 14060m was my first Rolex and is special. But the 124060 is the best watch ever made.

The ultimate pre/ceramic Submariner. With my SD 16600 it competes for the all-time favorite

East of Eden · 23 February 2024, 11:02 PM

I agree with the OP, mine is a P series 14060 two liner. The only improvement I can think of is I may put an AR crystal on next service

Agamemnon · 23 February 2024, 11:08 PM

I agree!

ROLEX MAN · 23 February 2024, 11:18 PM

14060M is a "Rattler" (I had one)

114060 is the much better watch, it's the pinnicale!

Rolex finaly made a well designed item, worth it's money!

PenDelicate · 23 February 2024, 11:33 PM

I find Rolex seldom makes a "worse" new version of a watch. Which would be the case if that older Sub were the "best" version.

Stunner of a watch, nonetheless.

WatchEnthusiast7369 · 23 February 2024, 11:37 PM

It’s never been on my list but understand why it’s on so many other people’s lists. How could you go wrong with it?

Calatrava r · 24 February 2024, 12:15 AM

I prefer the new model.

Many said the DJ II was worse, and the new Daytona today. Lots of people prefer 5 digit watches, and I would say the problematic 32xx movement is clearly worse. I actually don’t hate the new Subs, they just don’t work on my 6.75” wrist

That’s one advantage of being hard of hearing, what rattle? 😆

goldboy · 24 February 2024, 12:46 AM

Maybe for you? But why would it be the best for everyone?

This is akin to saying size 8 in shoes is the best size ever.

travisb · 24 February 2024, 12:53 AM

There's a "best" for everyone. Sub is a great choice.

padi56 · 24 February 2024, 12:54 AM

Cannot go wrong with any sub but best,that's down to personal preference,my favourite all time Rolex watch is a 16600SD.

KatGirl · 24 February 2024, 01:39 AM

Well, there is no best Rolex ever, but that’s a keeper, for sure. Also, you should post more than once a year…….
