You have to admit, to the casual observer, the case, bracelet, clasp, dial & crystal on the 14060M look like they could be found on a Rolex of the mid 1980s... & again for the right buyer this is a good thing. There are quiet a few company's re manufacturing brand new "Old" muscle cars/hot rods & buyers are paying big bucks for them... the 14060m is a factory new "old style" Rolex...

Agreed the 14060M is more of a niche product than the rest of the current line up. The main difference to your car analogy is that the sub isn't some retro reproduction; it's the current incarnation of a watch that has been in production since the fifties. It also doesn't retail at a premium over the sub date in the process; the reverse in fact.

Sub C if you want the upgrades... I still love the ND on a black NATO though...

My first was a 14060, and it is on my wrist at the moment. However, I discovered I REALLY needed a date sometimes due to a brain malfunction that refuses to remember the calendar, so I bought a Sub-C too. I now wear the Sub-C to work, when I need the date, and the 14060 almost everywhere else. They are both great! I did not even CONSIDER trading my 14060 for the Sub-C!
There are serious plusses to both models, and I still prefer the bracelet on the 14060. You've made a wise choice, but be warned - once you've got one, they start making you want another, and then another...and the people on this forum are not boosters for fiscal restraint when it comes to Rolex! |

Nothing feminine about the 14060M.

Agreed - not the watch, but some of the contours of the metallurgy are more 'curvy' than that of the 116610 (e.g. the lugs and the crown guard). So, when I say the lines are more feminine, that's what I am referring to, not the overall watch.

Own them both, honestly spoken; the No Date wears much more comfortable
But indeed, sometimes ....you miss the date function and need your cellphone

Never owned a No Date but the new 4 Line Sub No Date is an instant classic. Love it...and will get one to add to my LV soon.

I understand that opinion... I've just always had Sub Date(s) so that 2 line looks too plain or dare I admit too "clean"!

when i bought my first sub, i didn't understand the draw to the 2 line or the "red sub" (my good friend had) with that darn scratched up crystal ... i didn't get that then either, tastes change

Hi Guys
I got the 14060M yesterday and i love it. It fits perfectly and I am thrilled with it. It is a beautiful watch. I love simplicity of it. The AD was very patient and helpful. No discount but I did get $300 for tag that i never wore because i love rolex. Thanks for sharing your experience and opinions. Best David |

There's nothing for it but to buy one now and the other later.
