Collectibility of 14060

[photo-pro-123]

Hello TRFers,

Had a quick question for the experts out there or for those who may have an opinion. A friend of mine offered his 2003 14060 for $4500. It comes with all boxes and papers. Would you consider that a decent deal? Is there anything special about that year's model? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

The price seems average assuming it doesn't have a recent service. Just my $.02

Be very cautious buying from a friend, who may have bought a good fake and is passing it along. Be very careful.

You can collect anything you want....others, not so sure. That's a pretty garden variety watch.

How satisfied with the condition are you... is your fiend a knowledgeable Watch guy?

If it was from 2003 it will be a14060M the M stands for modified movement the change from the cal 3000 to cal 3130 in 2000.And would doubt if any 14060 or 14060M will be classed as being must have collectible.Don't no why they call them papers its a single bit of paper which now is a out dated warranty.

Maybe the same reason we wear trousers as a singular item of clothing?

nowadays, its not even a paper anymore just a card. I snagged one recently for a trade. Seller wanted about $4750 but I traded. It was a K serial tho.

Thanks everybody for your advice. I have settled on a potential offer of a Tudor BB red on bracelet + $2k for the sub (which is actually in really good condition). I like both watches but when I put them side by side there is something about the Tudor that speaks to me. Maybe because it's larger and more modern. I don't know. I don't want to get caught in the name and prestige game and just wear something I like!

Great to hear you are not going to blindly follow the crowd and are choosing what speaks to you. The BB is a great watch. The dimensions and proportions of the case retain that elegance which I think the newer maxi case Rolexes lack (I own the new GMT Master II by the way).
The innovation and design at Tudor of the past few years has been fantastic and elevated the brand to compete with brands at a much higher price point.

BB is a great choice! Are you getting the ETA or the in-house?

I would probably get the ETA. It is more affordable and as a plus, easier to service with an ETA movement. When needed, I could take it probably to any watchmaker whereas the in-house movement would be more trouble.
