Rolex

This is Part 5 of a series of articles aimed at identifying future classics from the 1990-2018 modern era. This month will focus on one of the "old school" modern Submariners - the 14060M Every now and then Rolex produce a truly cool watch. Usually it is ...  

Very interesting. This one is truly the most amazing of those you have written about. Really cool watch and story it tells. Keep them coming, I love reading these. I consider it educational.

......its the detail, right? But 14060 is such a cool Submariner too

I would guess that its more about bending rules than deliberate action.

...else they become irrelevant.

i enjoy reading & it is interesting to learn the details of each Rolex versions.... great material for new comers !! kudos !!! Best, mahesh.,

A few months ago I spoke with a very knowledgeable collector and he may, intentionally or not, have put me on the track of a, as you call them, LGF. And in all honesty I have to point out out that I have always stated that the Submariner is the most borin...  

after that you can wear it with total peace of mind

Or at least get two decades of stretch in it within a day...

Well, I always said I’m talented for 2 things. This being one, the other we shall not discuss here...

....Rolex might be the only brand who can endure the stress levels you lay upon straps/bracelets. You haven’t demolished a Rolex yet have you?

Not enough wrist time. But I did scratch a bracelet without even wearing the watch. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

No message body

A future classic for sure! Best Blomman

if I like a modern Rolex then a 14060 is probably in the top spot and with that little "extra" I could be very tempted. I like the challenge of "rare"

... that my own 14060M has not the long F but I love my watch anyway. It has accompanied me in some great dives and in many trips, as well as on my wrist very oftten. Very nice to know a bit more about this beautiful reference!! Thank you so much my dear ... 

I like to talk a little bit more about the TWO LINER 14060M without Chronometer Certification, but the Chronmeter movement 3130. First of all we find here the same, what we can find with the predecessor 5513 and 5512. Some Two Liners 5513 wear the movemen...  

ability to use examples is now harder as the quality on screenshots does not translate. The example at the top has the long F. If you go on Chronoi 24 and search for 14060M from 2010 (for example), than that will have a short F example.....there are plent... 

What a great read. Thanks!

Thank you, Baron for another insightful post! Must say that form all the once you have highlighted in this series, this LGF is my favourite! Cool, classic, vintage feel with a small but distinctive quirk! As mentioned, "the last of the best"! Thank you. B... 

the Kermit, the 14060 Swiss only and the 14060M LGF.

I would take that one over a 14060 Swiss only... Best Blomman

Could you pls help me identify my watch. It’s with inside writing M series Submariner . Need your help to learn more about it . Long F or which one is this .. ...  

(doesn’t stick out the line)

14060M and 14270 were my favorite references. I deeply regret not buying the 14060 before it became what it is now, I can't stand the wide lugs. Vte

A few of your other write-ups on this theme are more familiar to me. Looking forward to more in this series.

The cost of reading is getting more expensive with every new edition...

🙌🏻

I wonder how many have been pushed over the edge as a result of this series?

discovered the promised land?

And your attention to details is second to for more but the list is getting longer every post. Best, Ahmed

And I pulled the trigger! Should have it by next week. Joe, this report was incredible and poisonous at the same time. I was bitten by the bug. I’ve wanted a no-date model for some time. I just didn’t know which one. After reading this post, I knew which ...
