Beautiful. I recently sold my 124060 and am on the hunt for a 14060M. I’m all-in on 5-digits!

Same here! Mine's a bit older (1996 "W" series, tritium dial) and more battered, but still going strong! I love 5-digit Rolexes...

Love the 5 digits. Perfection really. I keep thinking of swapping my 6 digits out for 5 digits

Add one, try it out for a while and then see which one gets more wrist time. You’ll know which one is right for you and go from there.

I could not agree more about the 5-digit Subs.

Great watches the Rolex sub glad to see the bezel moved as some think today it must be left permanently within a cats whisker of the 12 o'clock marker.

Although I am not a diver, I have loved and worn Subs and Sea Dwellers for over 40 years...And to this day I still use the Bezel everyday to time this and that.
I have found it to be an invaluable tool...Even up on dry land...

I had one, probably my best deal in a new Rolex in about 2008 $500 off MSRP from an AD. I think about $4500 at the time. It's in my animated GIF Avatar of my old watches <---
