Thoughts on this 14060m?
So as I'm dealing with a severely over polished 14060, outlined in another thread, I'm already on the hunt for its replacement. Before I make another buying mistake I wanted to get some opinions on this piece.
It's a 2006, 14060m Z serial number. The seller is asking $4,900. Per the seller, "It has recently been cleaned and polished by an authorized Rolex repair person." Any and all thoughts are very much appreciated! pic host |

You can click on the pictures to enlarge. Looks pretty good to me and doesn't appear over-polished from what you've posted. Price may be a bit high unless it's complete (where's the green hang tag?). Assuming the bezel turns without issue and a close inspection doesn't reveal any deeper scratches/dings, has been recently pressure tested and is keeping good time, would say it certainly should be a contender in your decision making. Good luck!

Crown guards look overpolished, and why would a two-line Sub come with a red cosc tag?

If it were me, I would save up additional funds and purchase a brand new Sub.

Its not the wrong tag it should have no COSC tag, as that model was not COSC tested, although exactly the same movement in those that were tested..

It's interesting hearing the discussion regarding the tag as this is being sold by an AD. Would that raise a red flag about the AD in general?

In Tampa, there's AD Mayors for new Rolexes. A couple other local jewelers like Mavilo and Arthur Yates usually have a few pre-owned models in stock, but you can find much better deals from trusted forum sellers. I've dealt with forum seller "lawrenceb", who is here in Tampa, and had a good experience. |
