Is the 14060M rare?

[Kirsten]

I recall reading something that it is quite rare. I noticed that it is still in the new catalogue.. Why?

No, it is not rare and is still available from the ADs.....

[Speed]

Not rare at all.

[Kirsten]

Oh ok.. Why is it still available in the old case though?

And only that way.

[Mickey®]

Nope. Not a bit.

[liptonnr]

Not rare because the guys on here can pretty much get you whatever you want?

[Eric88]

Extremely common

[Feras]

not rare, its available at the AD. Hope they change they do only those to it at basel 2012 : the easy link bracelet, add the parachrom bleu thing and the same shock absorbers that are found in the explorer 214270. and maybe modify the lugs size and shape. but dont turn it ceramic pls

[OrangeSport]

Not rare, but my AD said it's not a big seller (for them at least).

[TSW]

Not at all.

with all due respect.. why not?. it is a different model

[BH13GMT]

its your last chance to bag a genuine tool watch by Rolex. If it goes maxi and ceramic in the future, the purists will be upset.

[bluemartinifan]

not rare - but an icon

[Baronrojo]

I'm incredibly happy with mine...glad I picked it up before any changes are made to it. It's an iconic watch...why change it if it's perfect as it is?

[dddrees]

Not rare, but it is a classic.

[mjclark32]

Love the look of the 14060m, but its not rare.

Because its the case all non date subs have used for the past 40 years through the 5512/3 to 14060 to 14060m its that simple.And no modern day Rolex made since the late 1980s could be considered as rare.To be rare in watches a watch has almost got to be unique less than 300 units produced total.Now I am not talking about a slight font/serial number or cosmetic detail like some Rolex hype portrays on the net.

Ok thanks for that.. Seems the Oval "O"/flat 4/closed 5 16610LV is quite difficult to get your hands on aint it??
Does anyone know how many of those true anniversary pieces were built?

I have seen one in every AD's case I have ever been to. I think everyone should own one in their rotation.

Padi touched on that when referencing dial/bezel uniqueness sometimes excites collectors. If you're looking for a Sub, the 14060M is a great choice.

[humvee]

rare, where? (now repeat it fast 5 times!)

No, what I mean is in rare in public or rare at an AD?

If you think you wil make $$ off of it, well you gotta wait anther lifetime for it.
At an AD, most models I amseeing are ceramics -- the classic steel insert type models are disappearing slowly --- In public though, I have seen more 16610 than 14060 --- In my entire life, Ihave seen countless sub dates but only 2, 14060ms ....

It is a tough watch to sell though beccause most buyers are looking for date function...
