I recently picked up a 14060M and would really appreciate a second set of eyes to confirm it checks out. Since I'm still a newbie, I posted the high-res images in a public folder in my google drive (here). If you need additional pics to weigh in, just let me know.

Honestly, it looks good to me.

tjbender · 5 February 2019, 02:29 PM

Going to need more pics, specifically the dial. From first glance though it’s way over polished and the brushed finish is off.

Brian Page · 5 February 2019, 02:30 PM

More pics please, but what I see looks good!

csaltphoto · 5 February 2019, 02:34 PM

Nice watch. It might have had a polish. It doesn't looks quite as crisp on the edges and lugs as the one I bought which was basically unworn. But it might just be the pictures/lighting. Mine is a crappy cell phone pic which makes things look harsh.

Seibei · 5 February 2019, 02:37 PM

Looks kind of soft, OP.

hicksonj · 5 February 2019, 02:43 PM

Thanks for the quick replies. I uploaded ~10 more dial and lug pics. I opened the crown for reference too.

Seibei · 6 February 2019, 08:16 AM

Does anyone else have an opinion?

kirksingleton · 6 February 2019, 08:21 AM

looks good to me as well!

siempreko · 6 February 2019, 08:21 AM

It is very shiny! Looks like it is in relatively good condition, except for the over polish!

Crown & Shield · 6 February 2019, 08:38 AM

Looks over-polished.

jb335 · 6 February 2019, 09:04 AM

Your watch looks nice. Every time a post like this comes up people will say "over polished"....fyi. Enjoy it and congrats!

But I will advise it's better to get a second set of eyes before you purchase.

Kyle3130 · 6 February 2019, 09:49 AM

Pass

zengineer · 6 February 2019, 09:52 AM

Keep in mind, no actual legitimate authentication source would verify it is authentic solely based on pictures.

TBJ · 7 February 2019, 02:58 PM

Pass. No doubt.

Why do people post these AFTER they bought the watch?!

HogwldFLTR · 7 February 2019, 03:26 PM

I'm not certain about over polished but certainly it doesn't look like it has the correct finish.

Fleetlord · 7 February 2019, 04:26 PM

Softish example

Seibei · 7 February 2019, 04:51 PM

It´s ok if you like it.

Good advice mate

Onikage · 7 February 2019, 07:51 PM

Congrats. Looks like a perfectly ok Subby to me. Bear in mind that you're asking the most anal group of watch heads on the internet to analyse your watch.

DP63 · 7 February 2019, 09:04 PM

Its very shiny. As for confirming its authentic, I'm no expert and IMHO the only place to confirm 100% is RSC.

hicksonj · 8 February 2019, 02:17 AM

Thanks all for the input. The pictures do make the polish look off, but it's far better in person. I picked it up from a fairly well-regarded dealer after a ton of research and shopping. It actually came with fairly recent RSC paperwork, but I didn't want to mention that in the OP and effect independent opinion. Also, FWIW, it has a 30-day no-questions-asked full-refund return policy, and I plan to visit the NYC RSC for a "resizing" in the window. Again, thanks!

mk2jag · 8 February 2019, 02:19 AM

nice find! congrats, looks good!

Valedictorian · 8 February 2019, 02:31 AM

Heavily polished. I never understood why people have their watches polished. Rolex is like a pair of Sebago Docksides: they look best with heavy duty wear and tear.

Daveclock · 8 February 2019, 07:39 AM

At least it’s not got any sharp edges now!!

Would make it “safe” for those worriers on here!

JonnyBCisco · 8 February 2019, 08:29 AM

No way. Finish is all wrong and it only resembles a sub at this point.

Not being rude but you post asking for opinions and say that you’ve put high resolution images. Then when people start to give you opinions you don’t like, you defend the watch and state that the images aren’t an accurate representation. I know you probably aren’t intending this, but it’s kind of a weird approach, don’t you think? If you’re confident in what you bought, don’t ask.

Glad we could be part of your little social experiment.

lecorsaire · 8 February 2019, 12:13 PM

It's original BUT it has been overpolished a little bit. The bevels are pretty much gone. This is fine if you got a good price, but if you overpaid then you could've done better. But you're going to wear it and it's not a rare watch that has to be kept in immaculate condition so none of this matters that much.
