Decoding the 14060/14060M

[997.2]

Hi guys,

I think I am ready to start my search for a sub. I don't like the large lugs of the newer models.

I am wondering what variations come with the 14060. I like the 'body style' but am curious if there are different lumes, movements (I think the M has a different movement, is it better?) or anything else. I like the engraved rehaut. The biggest thing I want is of course no date, and I want GOOD lume that won't go bad over time (tritium has a half life, right? not interested.)

If someone could help me out with decoding the serials and knowing which one is for me I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks and sorry for the basic question.

Well if you want the engraved rehaut you have to get a 14060m then....

Look for a randomly numbered 14060M. It will have all the latest refinements internally and of course, the rehaut will be engraved, if that's what you're looking for.
