The Rolex Submariner 14060M has still got it
When looking at the history of certain iconic products, I’d argue that there comes a point when that product reaches a peak stage of both modernity and classicism. In my view, the Submariner 14060M is that watch in the chronology of this most famous diver. This was the model that brought together everything in one final release before things became quite different — well, as different as things can get in the highly evolutionary world of Rolex. Case in point, the 14060M eschewed modern features like solid end links, a “no-holes” case, and a ceramic bezel. On the modern side, though, it came with a sapphire crystal, an upgraded 3130 movement, and chronometer certification. More than that, though, at least for me, the Submariner 14060M is exactly what a Sub should look like.
The movement is the key difference between a Rolex Submariner ref. 14060 and 14060M. The 14060M (caliber 3130) replaced the 14060 (caliber 3000) in 1999. It’s a relatively minor upgrade; they’re both rock solid movements.
This models is a collector’s piece and comes as a full set model with case back sticker dated 2005 D series.
