I've got both and would pick the 10460 but I've got both for a reason

214270 for me. I love the 14060 aesthetically and I'd love to have one, but the modern 6 digit Rolex is just a much better watch.

This thread is a perfect example of how supportive and collaborative this community can be, a promising reminder that TRF has not simply regressed into a platform for AD complaints.
Super helpful for my decision making too as these are the exact two models I’m deliberating between. Thanks to Finslayer for the pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm a big Sub fan owning several incl. a SubC and 14060m. I've never owned a 214270 but if your talking of a one watch only a new Explorer makes a lot of sense.

Depends on your current collection for me. I have a pre-ceramic Sub Date and a 214270, and I would give the 214270 a slight edge. It's close to the perfect watch for me. It's much better built overall and SO CLASSY. Sub is iconic, but Explorer is a true WIS watch IMO.
It'll also be great to have your name on a brand new piece vs. risking on an older piece. That said, you can't go wrong either way, though. Good luck! |

I have a 14060M and a 214270. They both wear about the same size in my opinion. The 14060M was my first Rolex and one that I will always keep. With that said, I probably wear the Explorer a little bit more. It keeps slightly better time and the bracelet is better. Both have a classic and handsome look.

Congrats! If you don’t mind messaging the seller information to me for the 14060, that’s what I’m looking for at the moment. Cheers.

Hey, can the bracelet be swapped for these two models?
Thanks |

I know that this is an old thread nut for those who may still be searching this topic, I respectfully offer the following:
The 214270 (wearing mine as I type this) can sorta-kinda pull off being a Sport Watch better than a Sub can pull off being a Dress Watch - unless, of course you're James Bond. In all seriousness, the 214270 does dress up nicely, especially on a black leather strap.

You can't go wrong with either of them but I'd go with the Submariner.
