14060 box set
The 14060 ND Sub we bought a week ago today for Nancy's son from eBay arrived today. That has to be a world record for Canada Customs to process anything!
It looks like a new Sub. I can still make out 14060 on what's left of the caseback sticker when I look at it at the right angle. Now we're trying to piece together the box and bits. Does anyone know definitively which box and accessories came with the 1999 A serial 14060? It was shipped in a new style box with the wrinkled top like this one, and a yellow outer cardboard box with fold down front flap. I also have inner and outer boxes like these. I have the Rolex Oyster and Submariner booklets, Rolex translation booklet, calendar and passport holders. I still have to source a green Swimpruf hang tag. I also have a red COSC tag, but not sure about including that since the A serial ND Sub wasn't COSC certified. Does anybody know for sure what all came with that watch?

The pillow box you show in the pic's is the correct box for your 99-Sub. Sell the newer F-series and up wrinkle box and get some money back to offset your purchase price.

Thanks, Wolfgang. Any words on the bits that came with it?

Everthing you posted. Dump the COSC tag as the non-date Sub doesn't have one. Also get the swimpruf green tag, preferably one that has Submariner on it. |

Yes, it came with the PILLOW box. Here is a link to read, but the old-style box shown has a buckle, though, and the one you need should have the pillow:
Boxes! CLICK! The ANCHOR would have been part of the full package in 1999: Rolex anchors! CLICK! There would be NO COSC Red Seal since the 14060 is not COSC rated (or rather: WAS not COSC rated back in 1999).

QualityTyme.net currently lists green Swimpruf tags for $12.95 US, and 300m/1000ft anchors for $19.95 US. They also sell various box sets, and may work out a deal with you for the newer box. If they don't, shoot me a PM, perhaps I would... I'd put the COSC tag away and keep it for another time, or just collect it, I'm a pack rat! BTW- this is an extremely nice gesture, well done!
