Identifying My Watch

On my rolex certificate, next to the word "Montre" these numbers are listed,888 Y232690

Is the serial number the second set of characters? Y232690? Thanks and sorry for what might be a silly question.

888 = Country code for Hong Kong

Y23**** = approximate year of case manufacture, 2002

Yes, and most people seem to hide some of their serial numbers on here

Your best bet is go to an authorized dealer(AD)and have them check out your watch...they can tell you what you have!!!

You have a Y series 14060M, or Sub no-date, nice watch. They are very popular around here some people debate back and forth about if they like the "two line" dial or "four line" dial better. That would be the lettering on the lower half or the watch, you obviously have a two liner

Congrats, where did you buy it ? oh' and welcome to TRF

Value?? Do you have the box and papers?? If not about $3,500, give or take...and if you were thinking of selling it a buyer would try and beat you up over the lack of any recent service, so maybe low $3,000's.

It looks like a 14060M non date sub with the Cal 3130 movement

It doesn't have any scratches on the bezel or crystal and very slight on the band. Is it OK on the forum to ask its approximate value. I bought it from an AD in 2003. Thanks to all that have answered my post. This forum is sweet!
