A way to confirm photos of a watch are of the one you're buying is to ask for the hands to be set to a random time when you ask for the extra photos.

Looks nice. Very modest premium worth it for extra security/Rolex warranty.

Assuming condition holds…

That’s a great idea!

For a "wearing" watch, that is what I would want. ONE other thing... and I"m not sure so double check on this, but something in the back of my head is making me think on the 14060M you could only got the 4 liner dial. The 2-liner dial was the non-M version. ???

Those of you in-the-know and not as old as me please chime in and remind me, as I only bring it up as a point to attempt to be helpful to the OP.

I have a 14060m two-line dial that was purchased in 2004. The two-line dials ran from roughly 1999 to 2007.

My two-line 14060M….which I love

Go check it out and report back. You're only a mile down the road!

Did MM find a new home yet?

A CPO watch should look pretty much new, but need to confirm if any dings and whatnot are present. Pictures are not very good. I have one of these that was serviced a few years back at an RSC prior to my purchase. While $10k seems a bit high, you can back out the service (maybe $750-$1000, guessing) to make the purchase easier on your mind. You could pay $9k for one today and have to have it serviced a year from now and you'd be back in the neighborhood you are right now. You can always try to negotiate. Cash in hand may make that negotiation a reality, as they can avoid the credit card company's fee. Every little bit helps. Good luck to you.

They will look very fresh. The only downside is Rolex with polish the hell of them so they look absolutely perfect. Don’t love that.

I love the look of the 2 line 14060M, but for my own reasons I want the years 2000-2006.
$10k as CPO is not a bad price for CPO in my region they are priced $12-14K.

[MJZRolex]

The price isn't bad for CPO, but I'd rather have a full set for a few more $$'s. My unpolished 14060M 2-line Z serial is one of my favorites. Good luck with your decision.

4 liner COSC last generation random or G serial for the win.

[hutchbth]

I prefer the 4 liner and a full set.

This is one of those IYKYK things.

Not all 4 liners are created equal.

[trailblazer68]

its the most comfortable rolex diver I had owned, years after and I am still in a state of seller's remorse because I simply could not find another in the modern range and price for these have gone too high for my comfort in the market. But if CPO offers 1 in good condition and reasonably priced I may just get triggered.

100%

Capetown Jewelers has four of them. All under $9000.

[NigeG]

Quick online search of UK CPO for 14060 models and I can find a few at £10450 inc Vat. Take off the tax and convert to USD and we have upwards of $10885 exc Tax.

On the face of it: the one you found OP at $10000 looks to be an ok price. As others say get better pics and check the clasp.

At least with CPO you know it’s real and it ain’t stolen.

IMO cpo is overrated. Buy from a reputable grey like the ones listed on the forum. save some money and have confidence in your purchase

[Marcaine]

love the 2 liner

For a $1k premium you get:
* CPO
* The above includes a service and 2 year Rolex warranty
* A seller where the negative reviews are focused on sales experiences, not sometimes incorrectly priced, serviced etc watches… (I compared the “low” reviews for both sellers, not to mention the difference in distribution of reviews itself).

I am guessing for most the $1k premium is worth it… just a guess.

In any event, OP should request better photos and make up their own mind. There are definitely examples out there where CPO is in fact the better buy.

100% agree this is worth it. Frankly, can’t see why you wouldn’t

[OG1982]

I think it's a cracking watch and if I didn't have my 124060 Sub, I'd get one of these in a heartbeat, albeit a two liner.

On reflection, Paul, that still doesn’t guarantee that the watch you receive, is the watch in any photograph, no matter how ‘current’ the photo’.
Unless of course, the photo’s include the serial number between the lugs.

[kwc]

Price does seem a bit high, and I'm not sure you get a whole lot out of the CPO that you don't get after a routine service.
