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…

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.

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.

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.
