Rolex - Agree with Velociphile

Get the current 14060M. Since you (as I do) prefer the beautiful clean dial of the non-date Submariner, and want something unquestionably robust you can wear all the time that can "take a hit" and shrug it off, this reference is your clear choice for a go-to Rolex Sub. Depending upon your preference you can get the 14060M in non-COSC or COSC-certified formats---while the latter has the busier dial with more printing, I like at it, as it creates a modern successor to the famous 5512.

Few watches define "classic" as well as the no-date Rolex Submariner, and I'm sure you'll find it a watch you'll wear daily with great joy. And, as an added bonus--these watches (as do most Rolex sports models) just get better looking the more character they get from wear....at least in my humble opinion.

Best,

Adam

Intending to buy a Submariner

Hi there, This is my first post here, but I've been lurking around for a while reading some excellent reviews etc, and have as such been influenced into getting myself a submariner, as my Reverso Squadra is getting quite beaten up being my day-to-day watc...

Vintage or Modern?

Max, In a world of reissues at every turn, with the old school bracelet rattle and embarrassingly ill fitting quirky bent steel vintage end pieces, the 14060M’s actually pretty much the original Sub' still on sale; like finding a NOS piece in a clos...

Sounds good

Thanks for the quick response. Ill be going on a hunt when I get back to Hong Kong, so Ill keep those numbers in mind. As to the COSC or non-COSC, is there any difference in reference number? Thanks, Maxi

No difference--both are 14060M

In 2007, Rolex "upgraded" the 14060M to the COSC-certified designation---meaning, that currently the 4-line COSC dial is what you will be more likely to find in dealer's cases, although there will be some non-COSC 14060Ms still floating around (as well as...

14060...

IMO the no-date Sub is definitely the way to fly. Here's a pic of my first A-series 14060, followed by my recently purchased COSC 14060M. I love them both, but prefer the older version because of its simple design and cleanliness... 14060... 14060M COSC.....
