New YG Blue ceramic sub.
Ad rang me to come and see it today.
New clasp adjustment lift slide and re-clip - very nice.
Colour was almost identical to the current TT blue sub. First pix seems to wash the colour out. Second pix shows the correct darker blue.

tudorwatches · 16 October 2008, 06:28 PM

Looking great !
A lot of people were nagging about the blue..
Love it !!

great pics.. especially the yg sub..

Some excellent photos! Thanks, all!

Zman86 · 26 October 2008, 01:57 PM

I wonder if I'll be able to update the clasp on mine with that one eventually

One of the great things about the 16613 Black TT Sub is that there's only one shade of black. They all look exactly the same regardless of the production year. And its as much at home in the boardroom as on the starting line of a yacht race.

I bought the same watch a couple of weeks ago and I love it! The contrast of the black and gold is a real eye popper and feels great on the wrist. I dont go into board rooms or yachts. Im looking forward to wearing it on the first warm spring day with jeans and white t-shirt

Beautiful pictures, my 2009 model series M has rolexrolexrolexrolexserialnumberrolexrolex on the ... rehault (sorry if mistake) like the 14060M-COSC Z-series,(Photo courtesy of Mike)

Sorry, a M serial number means 2007/2008 i think.

jimmjames · 11 March 2009, 12:42 AM

the pics of the 14060M make me want one soooooo bad.

The Mantis · 14 March 2009, 11:29 PM

Can one still buy from an AD a 14060M NON-COSC?

Yes, Z is 2007 and V is 2008 and the pic by the OP doesn't have an engraved rehaut but a M serial is a 116610 and does have an engraved rehaut. Even some Rolex models from 2003 and 2005 F and D serials have engraved rehaut. Last year for the 16610 was 2010 as well as the first year for model 116610.

So model 116610 LV/LN started from year 2010.
Then from 2010 till 2014, how many series already..?
And what are those series..?

Thank you. :)

jtvision · 16 March 2009, 08:32 PM

I've never been a fan of the NonCSOCs; far too vast looking.

All the 14060M Subs are COSC these days. For a
2 line/nonCOSC you'll have to find a pre-owned 14060.

Yoda · 18 March 2009, 08:41 AM

I have a TT sub with black dial and have had it for three years now. All my other Rolex's stay in there pretty boxes as I love this watch some much. I recently took it to St James square for a service and leaving it with the Rolex service agent felt as if I was parting with a kidney!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imtiaz · 21 March 2009, 11:32 PM

The Sub ND 14060M has gone up in price by U$600 in 2 months.

I visited 6 stores in Tokyo today and 4 stores were sold out on new but one had a used F series.

Other 2 had 1 each. Prices are the same as for the Sub date. The model being discontinued makes it all the more popular.

Yes JJ is correct, why is Rolex killing off one of their most popular models?

Some Pair · 6 September 2009, 01:40 AM

...and pics as well! Thank you...

btw. JMO, but Lovin'the coloring of my Bluesy all the more now.... Lucky Me.

Hey All

Wondered if someone could answer something for me. I have just bought an M series 16610, also have the rolex engravings in the rehaut.

Are there meant to be any serial numbers on the bracelet? I thought I'd seen some on older submariner bracelets, how come there aren't any on my 2009 M model? Should there not be any on there or am I panicking about nothing!

khewett · 6 April 2009, 06:24 PM

Had the same panic on mine, the braclet numbers are on the ends of the solid inks where it joins the case. You will need to remove strap to see them.

The Alpha Beta · 6 April 2009, 06:33 PM

haha brilliant, thanks mate. Yeah it did worry me at first but thanks for confiming - can sleep easy now

superformance · 15 April 2009, 11:26 AM

Mates,

With regards to the 14060M: why is there 2 kinds of dial, one with extra writing of Superlative chronometer officially certified and the other without? Is it about the movement or the year/series?

Sorry for this question for am not that familiar to this model, Im just having interest because I plan to get one so that my 5513 will have an offspring.

TIA for all of you,

SP
