Would you trade a 2008 14060M for a new Submariner?
My local Rolex dealer is working up an offer to exchange my 2008 14060M for a new Submariner. I would pay the difference between his offer and retail on a new Sub.
I’m thinking about it but would appreciate your opinion! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

what's the difference you have to pay? I'd keep the 14060m if it's a set

Date or no date. If the latter I wouldn’t do the swap. I fact thinking about it I wouldn’t do the swap. Other than a newer watch I don’t see what you are gaining. Unless it’s for a LV.

Never. I'd take the 14060M over any 6 digit reference, it is perfect Rolex design IMO.

Love the older references. That said, I do enjoy the latest models. But if at all possible, I wouldn't trade an older reference to get one. |

Not a chance that I’d make that trade.

It is really a personal choice, depends what you like but I would keep the 14060m. Keep in mind that the four liners 14060m (yours I believe is one since it is from 2008 and it with engraved rehaut) are quite rare as they were produced in a limited production run before being discontinued.

You left out a key piece of information. What is the $$ difference the dealer is asking?

Try it on before you decide, the 5 and 6 digit subs wear very differently.

The dealer hasn’t got back yet. But my guess is about $1800 & taxes for a no-date. Since it’s a 4-liner with an engraved rehaut plus box, booklets and warranty card I’m going to go with the consensus, i.e., no. That was my gut in the first place but I figured this group would provide some good feedback. Thanks!! When I hear back I will update the thread. |

Given market prices, does the difference work that way around?

The real question is “which one do you like more?”

I personally would go for it (subject to the amount of cash you need to put in). Unlike some people I do like new maxi case

Funny how you omitted the exact trade-in value of the old watch and the exact cost of the new watch.
Just sayin'... |

Guessing an $1,800 difference while waiting for an official offer is not an exact number.
A no date Sub costs about $8,000 and the trade-in value of a 2008 Sub is between $4k to $5k so I see a price difference of at least $3k plus tax. I'm "guessing" you spoke to a Salesman and he lowballed an offer to keep you from looking elsewhere while he checks with the owner of the company for a real number. |

Pros and Cons to both. I prefer the 5 digit version. Try on the new one. Old one more subdued, new one more bling. Old one light and very easy to wear. NEW one leans a bit heavy for me. Wrist size , your overall build my determine which version suits your personality and looks better.
They are completely different watches in how they feel, wear and emotionally pull you. |
