last classic sub?

I have owned my 14060m since 2005, its perfect for any occasion and has always been accurate. It has the 3130 movement like the cosc version but without all the extra text and rolex rehault.

A classic in the future?

Your thoughts please add

ecsub44 · 10 July 2012, 07:47 AM

I agree!

2-line 14060 is the last of the "classic" line. 4-lines is cool too...but I prefer mine uber-simple.

GradyPhilpott · 10 July 2012, 08:12 AM

No.

I'm wearing the last classic.

The 14060M with random serial number.

Or, maybe it's my Z series Explorer.

Either way, from my perspective, both of these watches are classics or will be in due time.

Saxon007 · 10 July 2012, 09:29 AM

The 4-liner was made for such a short time I feel it will be the one to have in 25 years.

Tools · 10 July 2012, 09:36 AM

You don't have to wait until the future for the 14060 in any of it's slight variations to be a Classic.. It is one right now..

capote · 10 July 2012, 09:42 AM

I say the last random models are the end of that era. What people will collect, be it 2 or 4 line - or none - only time will tell.

JCirillo · 10 July 2012, 10:39 AM

My next purchase is likely to be this watch, love the simplicity of it especially the two line dial.

+1. A modern 5512. Love the 4 lines on the COSC version.

How short of a time was it made?

Yes, what made the 2-line 14060 so striking - even before Rolex introduced the supercase on other models - was its minimalism. No date. No cyclops. Uncluttered dial. Plain rehaut. Take away those last two and it's less distinctive visually.

I know I'm glad I picked one up in 2009(it's a Z serial number)......two-line and never been worn!!!
Can't seem to pry the Pepsi off my wrist.....

Approximately 6 or so years. Started with Z serial, which started in 2006ish and is now discontinued as a random serial in 2012

Classic has to have plexi, imo.

More like about 5 years. They appeared from late Z.

sounds good to my M serial cosc

subrolex23 · 10 July 2012, 09:30 PM

thanks for your thoughts on this great watch. 2 liner non cosc
a real beauty!

NeedHelp · 10 July 2012, 11:12 PM

I am in love with my Random Series 14060M with my Z series 16600 SD falling in at a very close second. IMHO the 14060M, 16600 and 16570 were the last of the true Rolex tool watches.

Naya72 · 10 July 2012, 11:48 PM

Lug holes, tin can clasp... agree...

mtgmt · 10 July 2012, 11:49 PM

chk back in 20 yrs
maybe then we will know

I agree, the 2 liner 14060M is the one to have. It just looks... Right.

jerseyden · 11 July 2012, 04:48 AM

I have the 4 liner, but I think I prefer the 2.
