Need Help 14060

I have an opportunity on a 14060. I've owned several of these but the pics are so poor that I'm having a hard time making sure it's okay I've compared the pics emailed to me to my 14060m and the serial number placement and font looks pretty close to my eye compared to my other one.

It's an A series from 1999 ish from what the seller has told me.
It was supposedly "just serviced: I am waiting for proof of this from the seller.

I just wanted some feedback from another set of eyes. I have a 3 day return policy but I'd still like your thoughts.

thanks in advanced

Matt

impossible to tell with those pics they look like they are from a print ad?

I tried to darken them with photoshop and that was the best I could get.
I still don't know how a seller can send such crappy pictures and expect someone to be able to make a decision

Yeah need a lot better photos on this but the A serial (I think I can see an A in the photo) is good for 99 so that's a positive.

It might be the angle but the lugs look a bit over polished that bothers some people it would not be a ideal breaker for me but maybe a negotiating tool...if is it verified a good watch.

I'd pass on this one....lugs & case look over polished...these are pretty common watches so I'd wait until a really nice one comes up IMHO. Good Luck Matt

I was wrong about this on a GMT. From what I've read the only 5 tick "Swiss Made" Sub is the 50 year annivesary maxi dial.
