Ok guys, I have kind of decided that I want a two line 14060M. The reference chart that I picked up somewhere on line says that the watch in question (M) was produced in 2007. However, I find in my chart that the 4 line COSC dial was introduced in 2006 and beyond. What gives?

I have seen posts in different places where people are talking about their 2 liner 14060M's. Did Rolex make both 2 and 4 liners in the 14060M?

Thanks in advance!

I think M serial was first series with 4 liner and there were still 2 liner M's already manufactured.

I haven't a clue. With all due respect to the many well informed members here, I'm not a collector, so I don't care about two lines or four, red line Subs or red date wheels. I have a few nice watches, bought new based on my desire to have some really nice, durable, accurate up to date time pieces. And thanks to a little guidance from reading the posts here, I couldn't be happier with now things have turned out. Good luck.

I think that you are confusing the 14060M with the release of M serial number prefixes.

14060M is a complete model number for the Sub from 1999 until the release of the 114060 last year. It was preceded by the 14060 from ~'89 to '99; all 14060 Subs are "2 liners", most 14060M are 2 liners.

There are many, many 14060M Subs that are 2 liners as the 4 line font only appeared during the last couple of years of production.. The watches are identical except for the paint on the dial, but you have over 20 years of 2 liners to choose from (14060 and14060M)..

All the M stands for in the 14060M is for modified movement the change from the cal 3000 to the cal 3130 in 2000.And all the 4 line stands for is that the movement was COSC tested but exactly the same movement in the two line 14060M.

It's great that there are people with genuine Rolex knowledge on TFR.... I just like looking at the pictures.

By the looks of the thread title, I wasn't sure if you were confused or concussed? LOL

Deciding on a Rolex can sometimes make us feel like a combination of the two!

Blue parachrom spring at the end of the run? I've got a 14060M, random serial number blue spring and thought they weren't that common.
