a 14060M was my 1st rolex. i know exactly how you feel. i saved for and bought it because i loved it more than any other watch i had ever seen. since then, ive flipped for a 16610 then 16613 (now added a serti dial). when i can afford a 2nd rolex it will be a 14060M. what more does a man need?

great choice. keep until your time here passes, give it to your kids.

My vote is to slap it on an olive drab NATO and just forget about the SS bracelet! :)
it will spend a long part of it's life on a Nato...this baby is coming diving ...

Thanks my friend! I have a 16610 in the process of trading for a DSSD or SubC, since I have the 14060M I do not need a 16610 in my very small collection...

I plan to do just that ...
