In my opinion of course. So versatile and I feel like the 14060m random serial really bridges the gap between vintage and modern like no other piece. Grateful to have picked this up nos before the prices really got out of control. Highly recommend this reference.

Looks so much like my 124060 I had to zoom in closer to check. Great looking watch

I gotta agree that the 14060M is the quintessential Rolex diver and is at home almost anywhere.

Sure is darn near perfect.
I have an older 14060M that I picked up in unworn condition, and to me that is near perfect. Beautiful lines and shape and very comfortable.
Enjoy that beauty.

Nice watch but with that bracelet/clasp it certainly isn't nearly perfect in my opinion, we all have different tastes but I still prefer ceramic bezel too and my 114060

Always nice to see somebody get a nice piece they want just before the prices begin the inexorable climb upwards. Congratulations!

Agreed!
Bought my lightly used 2011 random 4 years ago and the asking prices have now doubled.
Best of the last 5 digit subs, pin holes and lightweight bracelet - what's not to like?

OP, that sure is a beauty and just one of the reasons I had to own one also.

I just ditched the NATO and donned the bracelet yesterday, took only a few minutes with a paper clip.

Sure is better than having to use those pesky spring bar pliers or tweezers.
