Bought this with some very light scratches and needing a service, sent it off to my former RSC watchmaker intending to sell it but now that it's back I don't think I can. I think it literally looks as it did when it came from the factory and the edges are still sharp (the scratches were all light and none were on the edges), he told me he treated it just like they did when he worked for Rolex. I feel like I'm unlikely to find another two line 14060M complete set; thoughts?

Nice sub, hold on to it!

Looks great

Runnin' Rebel · 8 June 2012, 11:19 AM

Classic. Keep it.

DocTalk12 · 8 June 2012, 11:22 AM

Looking great! Wouldn't give it up.

drockadam · 8 June 2012, 11:30 AM

Absolutely gorgeous Sub!

ptugolf · 8 June 2012, 11:34 AM

Yes, keep it.

JohnBoy · 8 June 2012, 11:37 AM

Errr...let it go? Thats a keeper!

w4rmk · 8 June 2012, 11:39 AM

She's a beauty, I love it when they come back from service because it's like getting a new watch all over again. You need to decide if the watch is "calling out to you", if so then keep it, if not then let it go. You can usually tell after a few nights sleep, especially if the watch shows up in your dreams!

jctrolex · 8 June 2012, 11:44 AM

If you don't want it I'll take it off your hands

Trouble15 · 8 June 2012, 11:44 AM

Lookin good!

HACKNSACK44 · 8 June 2012, 11:48 AM

Nice!!

FeelingTheBlues · 8 June 2012, 12:03 PM

It looks great, I'd probably keep it as well!

integrale · 8 June 2012, 12:10 PM

I have a similar 14060M 2-liner sans the set :( but I don't think I can let it go either :)

tkerrmd · 8 June 2012, 12:21 PM

Great watch

DCgator · 8 June 2012, 12:53 PM

Keep it a while and you'll eventually know whether to keep or flip.

MortgageGuy · 8 June 2012, 01:17 PM

Agree... Keep it for the time being and see what happens, if you need the $$$ for something different or another in the future you can always sell later

Bangel · 8 June 2012, 01:33 PM

Hold tight! Don't let go!!

Sam Philip · 8 June 2012, 02:30 PM

It is a very nice sub, I would hold into that

Do you guys prefer the two line or the four line? Are there any other differences between this (Y-Serial/2004) and the current version?

Now that I'm seriously thinking of committing I need to get to know her.

padi56 · 8 June 2012, 09:09 PM

Nice watch but why the resting cloth, S.Steel is quite a tough material and far tougher than wood.

Only difference in any 14060M is just a few fonts on the dial to say the bare uncased movement has been tested at COSC which today is little more than pure marketing.

Given the choice, I would choose the two line. It's a cleaner look and more classic through my eyes.

Cabaiguan · 8 June 2012, 11:29 PM

It's not worth giving up IMO. It's a classic that will just get better with age.

azguy · 9 June 2012, 12:17 AM

Keep that forever, 2 liners are the best

ersnyder · 9 June 2012, 12:19 AM

Yep, I agree. Classic piece and a "complete set" of everything that counts!

mannyv11 · 9 June 2012, 01:55 AM

without a doubt keep it and enjoy it, such an amazing watch

a) it's not even got hairlines on it at this point so i'm still being extra careful with it (the GMTII-c got that treatment for about a week as well)
b) the cloth helps it stay in position for photos

Looks great!
