Dear professionals of rolex, good afternoon. I will celebrate 24 years. I live in Russia. Really want to own Rolex for my birthday. But the financial situation allows me to buy not very expensive watch. There are options: 14060m-4200 euro, 214270-4000 euro, 16570-4500 euro, 116 400 - 4550 euros. I sympathy to 214,270, as the new model, the new mechanism, a new bracelet. 116 400 milgaus model not very comfortable, 214270 is more comfortable for everyday use I think. , 16 570 is not very much attractive. What do you recommend from budgetary models of Rolex? I have a wrist size 19sm. I need your help. Thank you very much. Thank you!!!

Given your age, I'd recommend a sports Rolex instead of a more dressy model. Usually I'd prefer a date on my watch but in your list I'd take the 14060m.

Actsulb · 6 November 2011, 05:52 AM

Welcome to TRF and happy early birthday. I recommend the 14060M, it's a timeless classic that you will enjoy for many years to come.

unlisted · 6 November 2011, 05:56 AM

I would go with the 14060M personally. It is a watch that is extremely versatile, a classic, and a great value. It is a watch that you can grow to appreciate more and more as you gain further knowledge of the brand. A true horological staple. Besides, it's also very safe to swim with. Ha. Whichever one you choose I think you will be quite happy with though! Best of luck with your decision!

Oyster1982 · 6 November 2011, 06:06 AM

Go with the Sub 14060m, its not a flashy watch very understated.

Vitus1988 · 6 November 2011, 06:24 AM

And what about more older bracelet(what is the difference between bracelet on 14060m and 214270) and 3130 calibre against 3132?

nauticajoe · 6 November 2011, 06:29 AM

Of the choices I'd go with the 14060 or save up for a 16610.

Good luck!

dddrees · 6 November 2011, 06:30 AM

Based on your list and your dislikes, it sounds like you don't dislike the 14060m. Hopefully this means you like the 14060m, so I would get that one.

GradyPhilpott · 6 November 2011, 06:38 AM

14060m

drtooth73 · 6 November 2011, 06:42 AM

Another vote for 14060, Vitus.

Watches are starting to get popular in Russia, while traditionally its been Italian clothing as the status symbol.

z32turbo · 6 November 2011, 07:19 AM

Go for the 14060M.

Explorertwo · 6 November 2011, 07:33 AM

Well.... quite clear what to do Vitus1988: we're unanimous on this one!

impalass · 6 November 2011, 07:40 AM

14060M

The old style bracelet is very comfortable and has done the job for many years.

The movements are both COSC and bullet proof imo.

dysondiver · 6 November 2011, 07:42 AM

14060 , its a life long classic , happy birthday too.

matt4hand · 6 November 2011, 07:52 AM

14060m

If you have that many euros the only watch to buy is a used Presdential 18038 single quick or any vintage Sub, GMT, Used TuTone Sub with a blue face will get alot of looks and is very comfortable. I think the new Rolex watches are too heavy and bulky they have lost the vision and going the Brietling Bling way. In all truth if you have saved this much the most wise business desiccation would be the Presidential and maybe lucky you can bump into some old man wearing a beat up Vintage Daytona and swap for it. That same that happened to me and the President made the deal

ArcticMoose · 6 November 2011, 09:59 AM

gwozhog · 6 November 2011, 12:39 PM

I recommend that you save up and buy the rolex that you want. even if you have to wait till your 25th birthday.

Vitus1988 · 6 November 2011, 04:53 PM

Thank you very very very much! I have understood that rolex 14060m is those watch which all choose and want to carry. Can you please show me what is a difference between bracelets from 214270 and 14060м? maybe you have any photo. Thanks.

Vitus1988 · 6 November 2011, 08:22 PM

And what about 3132 calibre vs 3130?

HL65 · 6 November 2011, 09:55 PM

14060m timeless piece he will enjoy for years to come!!

TSW · 6 November 2011, 10:22 PM

Either the 14060 or a 16610 would be a great choice!

Jason71 · 6 November 2011, 10:34 PM

14060m

Rags · 7 November 2011, 02:53 AM

The no date sub 14060M sounds right..

skyedog · 7 November 2011, 03:05 AM

14060 is the way to go!

Vitus1988 · 7 November 2011, 06:07 AM

Today I was in shop with my wife. She said that 214270 is better on me. And I make some photos. What do you think,guys?
P.S. Bracelet material is better on 214270 than on 14060m
