Incoming! 14060m

The Fedex truck delivered a new toy today!

This was kind of an impulse buy as I’ve actually never owned a no-date sub before.

I stumbled across this random serial, complete set, unpolished 14060 and it was just calling for me. It’s a great example of the last of its era. Clean. Understated. A real tool watch. It will take its place amongst its other sub cousins as a keeper.

That’s no toy. You’re going to love it! As time goes buy (no pun intended, well maybe....) You will appreciate it more.

Terrific looking watch, congrats!

One of the best features, and some do not know, is that even though they sold these through random serial numbers, they all have lug holes, which are much easier to change from bracelet to NATO strap.

Great great watch!

Beautiful. Is that the one that was listed here on TRF that sold for $8500 in a few days after it was listed ? That was a very nice one & so is yours.

This was my first Rolex and I still have it of course. Light and easy to wear and classic proportions.
Love it! Wear it with pride.

It is the Sub reference of choice to me.

I have the same, only a 2 liner. It’s so beautifully proportioned. Welcome to the club! Enjoy it!

My Rolex of choice.

Love the oyster and love the drilled lugs even more. They make great strap queens too! Here’s mine with a slight hand mod.

Congratulations!

My first, and still my favorite Rolex. And each time I wear mine, reminds me of why I prefer it over its 6-digit ceramic counterpart.

Nice find, Josh. It's a really cool watch. I came across this pristine condition, random serial 14060m from Takuya a couple of years ago. I am so happy with this reference. It's a handsome, rugged, extremely-capable, over-performing, go-anywhere, no-nonsense, under-the-radar watch. Hope it brings you much enjoyment. Mine says hello. Regards, -Rick.
