14060 experts

[Andykllhr]

Hi guys, I've searched the threads and other forums and am pretty content with the answers, however, thought I'd ask just in case.
My 14060 is an A series which puts it around 1999, however due to the "Swiss made" on the dial it puts it into early 2000 as this was when super luminova was used, around the transition between 14060 and 14060M. But, is there any possibility that it could be a 14060M internally and not a 14060 as the case is marked?
I know it's a slim chance and really makes no difference but I am very curious and thought I'd defer to the wealth of experience on this great forum.
Here's the best dial closeup I could get:

when you turn the crown clockwise, does the minute hand go counter clockwise?

While I can't answer your question Andy, great looking watch!

Short answer no the case would be stamped 14060M the M stands for modified movement the change from the cal 3000 to the cal 3130 in 2000.The main difference with the cal 3000 and the cal 3130 is its got a full balance bridge, larger balance wheel breguet overcoil basically its now a cal 3135 without the date complication.You could get the back off but I would say you will find a cal 3000 inside.

reinforcing what Peter said.. and this would be indicative of a 3000-movement in a 14060


either way, fantastic watch! nothing beats a clean 5-digit two-liner

Yeah, just dated the bracelet as November 99, so it is indeed a very late 14060, right before the change over to "M". Great news as this is a lot closer to the date that is significant to me (Apr 2000). Thank you for all your help guys 😉

Great looking watch...love the simplicity of the 2 line dial.

Wish they made it in gold.

Basically the only difference between the two models, other than the wording on the dial, is the edges on some the the parts are more finished. Smoother. That is the difference. Less friction. That's all.

X2........... can't see me ever parting with my 14060M. Whether 'M' or no 'M' the 2-liner is just classic simplicity...........

[encarter13]

Such a simple, yet amazing watch!
