I was wondering.. Has anyone put a green insert onto a Submariner 14060 to give it the look of a Submariner 16610LV minus the date of course? I don't need the date feature so I was curious about this. Isn't the Submariner 16610 and the Submariner 14060 the same watch without the date feature? Any information is appreciated.

I believe the 16610 inserts don't fit on the 14060M

The 14060 and the 16610 are completely different watches except for looks...

Almost nothing interchanges, including the insert.........

"begin thread jack" Dam7 that is a seriously cool tool! I used to have to carry a pair of DuPont #4 crimpers, a pair of lineman's pliers, and a folder to do what that will! "end thread jack"

Afraid I don't know about the inserts but it sounds like these guys do

Good Luck finding it, Chuck! I have one myself and I am loving it everyday. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am

I wanted a 14060m too... But i bought a 16610lv, and now i love the cyclop!
This is a beautiful watch, green is refreshing.. This is not a sad watch at all, it screams "i'm nature" !!
Good luck for the search.

Greetings. I am not aware of a green insert. But there was a picture of a 14060 in this group some months ago with seemingly not original blue insert that really looked very nice--particularly that it was enhanced by an equally attractive blue NATO strap. Perhaps someone can advice further. Best of luck.

Letherman make a full range of really cool combo tools, check their site. I always have one in the trunk of my vintage car just in case.

There is a seller on an auction site who has aftermarket green and blue inserts to fit the 14060, but I have no idea on the quality or fit. Caveat emptor.

I have had a black one off them, it fitted well and looked good, they are not too expensive, so why not give it a go?
