Icon6 1st Rolex Submariner 14060m 4 liner or 16610 tritium

Looking at a 14060m 4 liner super luminova dial and also 16610 tritium dial. Wondering what everyone thinks about these 2 choices or if they have another choice. New ones seem impossible to get. Thanks

If it was the 14060 2 liner, then 14060 for me. Among your choices I’d go with the 16610

OP, it will ultimately come down to your personal preference. Do you want your watch to have a date feature or not have a date feature?

I went 14060M recently, while I do like vintage tritium, I wear my watch at night and wanted a lume that still worked.

Good luck with your decision.

The problem with tritium dial pieces right now is prices went up a lot. While they are classic it also requires more knowledge and an eye to tell whether it’s genuinely aged. Not man made vintage pieces for the premium.

x2. I prefer a ND with 2 lines. And the tritium def outweighs the 4 line ND imo.
