I agree. I wore an M serial 114270 for a few years, before I replaced it with my current daily....a 16710. I loved that watch. I later bought a 14270 U serial "birth year Rolex" as a HS graduation gift for my son last year, so we now have another one back in the family. It warms my heart to see him wearing it. He's a college freshman now and of course we made him leave it back at home while he's away at school. So, I occasionally wind her up and wear her for a day or two, just to keep the oils flowing...it's the thoughtful thing to do, right!?
Again, it's truly an icon and a classic reference within the Rolex canon.
