Rocco I thought you had the 114060? Do you have the 14060M? What are you going to do with two identical watches, wear both or keep one on ice? Any which way really nice watches.

They maybe the same, but certainly are different!!

OP, enjoy the new addition, I also have a soft spot for the clean and uncluttered iteration of the original classic!!

Hey john,Yes I have the 114060 but as I've had both at thesame time before they look and feel completely different.the 114060 is more flashy,bulky and heavier which I like and the 14060 is more understated which I like as well.il wear the 14060 more often I imagine.i wish I could wear both at once hahaha.

First any 14060 after around 2000 will be a 14060M the M stands for modified movement from the cal 3000 into the cal 3130 great watches and last of the classic line up.

No you don't you have a 14060m with the in-house made hairspring, and if you did not know what hairspring was in the movement.Then in the real world I would doubt if you would find any difference no matter the name of the hairspring.

I too have the 114060 and the 14060m alla Rob, the mod. First bought the ceramic then found myself pining for the last BNIB of the old school subs so I got a 14060m from an AD, but I wear the ceramic Moreno far, I think because it feels more like a "winter watch" and I plan on wearing the older model on NATO in warmer weather. Next watch up is a white SS Daytona or Exp 1. This TRF place is bad!

Peter you to stop jumping on members when they write something you don't agree with, or have a different view than your self. Now get this, all I wrote is my 14060m has the blue spring for fact because they took off the back to engrave it. I'm very close to the rolex tech so he let me watch ! I know what I seen so tell me anything different. I didn't say it was any better than the old style. Calm down and get a life! Now use your all mighty power to ban me for saying what I feel. You can others can't !

Rocco,
Congrats, you'd better hold onto this one! Save a pic or two directly onto your desktop (I make a shortcut to the pics via my photo program) then use the manage attachment button as you post to attach the pic. Simplest way I have found to do it.
