Sub no date 14060 M (D or Z serialnumber)

Hi, I made up my mind to buy a new 14060 M. My AD in the Netherlands has one for sale with a D-serial.

Is there any difference between a 14060 with either a D or Z serial ? ( I read something that the newest ones have no holes in the case)

TIA

Michael

Welcome to TRF, Michael.

The 14060M comes ONLY with lug holes....and there is absolutely no difference between the D and the current Z series.

as a iwc collector (with one rolex oysterdate precison bought in 1981) it was a tough decision to chose between the Submariner or Seadweller. I consider the SB as the reference for all sport watches and the SD felt to big for my wrist; that is also why I don't like the current iwc bigpilot and ingenieur.

both a great brands anyway.

D and Z are the same but i would go for the Z just incase, if in the future you decided to sell it. One 2006 might be a little more appealing than a 2005 watch. Just my 2 cents.

Although there is no difference apart from the serial number, you may be able to bargain on the price of the "older" D compared to the "newer" Z.

But a D date letter could be 2006 as well D April 2005 to April 2006 Z date letter May 2006 on.
