Let me point out some mistakes on this video. The MK1 gen of the 14060M (2 liners) were NOT chronometer certified by COSC, possibly due to costs associated with it, it was produced for 8 years from 1999 to 2007. The MK2 (4 liner) was the first no date Sub ever to become COSC certified, hence the extra 2 lines of text stating so, this happened in 2007, and this MK2 was produced until 2012, not 2009, it had a 5 year lifespan. The 114060 was introduced at Basel 2012, not 2009 and was discontinued in late 2020 after 8 years.

Another measurement to consider along with watch thickness is the lug to lug. To me this is most important as it can determine what will fit a wrist when you know your wrist breadth as you look down it - as if doing a wrist shot. Since my wrist breadth is 52mm, I focus on watches with lug to lug measuring 48mm or less.

THE bond watch was the 6538. Also not all 14060 were tritium. In 1998 they were Swiss branded with Luminova and in 1999 and 2000 they were branded Swiss Made and had Superluminova. The M really came to the market in late 2000 and had the exact same dial as its predecessor two years before. And an aluminium insert is closer to 100 bucks than to 20 these days :)

If a watch comes on a shit or average bracelet maybe but the new sub has possibly the best bracelet and clasp on the market... why would you want to take it on and off? It’s not exactly hard to take the bracelet off without drilled lugs anyway but I don’t get why...

Personally, I think a pre-ceramic model with the newest bracelet would be a great combination, considering that the maxi case just looks too bloated in its proportions.

I have the two line 14060M and it really is the perfect Submariner in my opinion. I was offered a 114060 a couple of years ago at retail price and I couldn't refuse it. You're absolutely right, they are like two totally different watches character wise, and on the wrist. If I really had to part with one of them it would undoubtedly be the 114060. It's beautifully engineered but I find it a bit to square, boxy and soulless. If Rolex made a modern Ceramic Submariner in the 40mm Yacht Master case it would be sublime!

Great, concise history of the Sub. Thanks! Completely agree that you need a watch to wear and enjoy even if it might get slightly beaten up. My compromise is I have the 114060 which I use for best but a Ginault Ocean Rover 2 with aluminium bezel (rather than the new ceramic version they do) plus domed vintage look sapphire crystal as my everyday watch. The Ocean Rover 2 build quality is (I’d say) similar to the Rolex and you get the vintage look but won’t break the bank if you bash it while doing DIY!

Last month I bought a 1973 5512 , I dont really wear it, but just love to look at it, try it on and put it back in the safe :)

Only two words: THE BEST! Surely the best ever video about Submariner that I have ever seen. Very objective but with passion. Loved the map resuming the models! Congrats!

To be able to start an introduction about watches whilst moving your hands at the same time is nothing unusual, but not to spill any coffee while doing it is a real gift! An enjoyable review, thank you.

Nice informative video. As someone else said the best one is the one on your wrist, in my case the '69 5513 I've had from new. It's seen parties, the underside of 8 feet of Arctic ice and everything in between. I much prefer its svelt case to the most recent iteration. I'll never have another Rolex as I can't justify the cost of a new one.

Great Video - drilled lugs would have been an interesting topic. I see your newer 14060m must be quite late to have engraved rehaut but it still has drilled lugs??? I have a date version with un-drilled lugs - did they continue with the drilled lugs on the no date due to it being more likely to be used by professional divers?

5513 Submariner without the white gold indices, I just love it.

I got my 14060m four liner (2010) just a week ago. I'm loving it so far. Initially, I was a bit taken aback by the seemingly flimsy stamped clasp. But once sized properly and on the wrist, it wasn't a concern. It also feels very small. I also bought a brand new Omega Seamaster Professional 300m just two weeks earlier and it's a beast of a watch. The 42mm diameter suits me well. I decided on the 14060m, classic Sub thanks to your video. I would love the modern clasp on the classic case.

So informative...Thanks Mate....personally always wanted a 14060 (pre 99'), the 4 line variant was just like any other sub, that classic vintage look for me.

Amazing video Adrian🙏 a great successor to your video about the Explorer line. IMO, these comparison-videos are your sweetspot.

Cool video, as ever Adrian. I’ve got a 14060 and a current sub date ceramic. As the sub date ceramic was my first Rolex I have a real soft spot for it. However, you just can’t beat the purity of the 14060. I’ve also got a 981 Porsche Cayman which is a lovely , balanced , exhilarating and enjoyable car but will always yearn for an air cooled 911. Keep up the great work mate. May you and your family stay safe.

I'm just happy enough to land an 114060! Can't beat that bracelet, and I love how in certain light... the bezel looks "ghost" OH!! The sound of that bezel click is sublime! Great video Adrian.

Thanks so much, this is incredibly informative. Are you able to put a new bracelet on the older Subs? eg if you purchase a 14060m from a dealer/Chrono24 (without a bracelet), could you purchase the new version and would it fit?

You nailed it again, Adrian. Good scope also, not trying to step on Hodinkee's toes. What I feel all the Subs you mention lack to make them perfect from my point of view is the the 360 degree indices on the bezel. One of the reasons I like the modern bigger sibling 116600 Seadweller or a true Mil-Sub. Thanks for the great work.

Another excellent video. I especially like your comments about wearing your Rolex. For a while, I obsessed about mine, concerned about any minute imperfections that I might create by wearing it. Then I realized that the only way to keep it pristine was to never actually wear and enjoy it.....and that would be a real shame. So, I compromise by wearing it often, but try to remember to set it aside if I start an activity that has a likelihood of causing it excessive wear and tear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.......cheers!

I have a 5513 as well and have basically the same thoughts as to its durability. And I've thought about getting an M or 114260 to update the glass and luminous. But I like the rattle of the bracelet and the look of the watch so much more than the 114. I'd consider an M though, like yours - the 2 line. One difference of opinion: I love the 2-way bezel - so much easier to set, and mine doesn't spin around without a deliberate move. Thanks

omg, this video is so great. Good work. I can see how much work you put into this. Thank you, Adrian. good research. If there's one Sub video you need to watch before purchasing, this is it!

Hi Adrian, Jz inform u forget mention about the dome shape glass for 5513 which really add the character making it the most popular sub. Currently I find a 5513 for myself. Is it wise to purchase a too beat up bezel ring given the price fits my wallet n later on replace it with the similar year range with a better condition?

I have the 116610LN and I truly love it. Understated and looks great in business or leisure wear. Instantly recognisable and a true classic.

Would you mind comparing the bezel click action of the 14060 and the 114060? Do they feel different ect? Thanks!

Great overview. Ideal Submariner (best, for me) would be the 114060 face, hands (like the proportions) and ceramic bezel in the previous 14060m case (not a fan of the maxi) but with the bracelet upgrade. I'd also keep the SuperLuminova.

Hey Adrian! I have been trying out the 14060 (borrowed from a friend). This watch looks perfect and I fell in love with it since I first wore it. However, when I try to set the time in my friend’s 14060 it feels slightly different to what I feel when I set the time in my GMT. For the 14060, when I wind the crown up, the time goes backwards… This is the opposite in my GMT. Should my friend be worried?

Hi Adrian. Another quality video and info. I've been thinking about a 14060 model and would like a 1991 year. Will the serial number tell me the year it was manufactured? With these older watches can you snorkel with them if they have new seals fitted. Keep up the great work. Mark

Great video. I agree and like the pre-maxi case much better. That being said I am jealous of the new bracelet. Also I do like the Maxi dial and hands. A big reason I picked up a Kermit.

Bought my SubC Date 116610LN 3 years ago. I destroy watches, but this one has held up well, surviving a fall onto brick, dinging on metal as I do my daily activities: I don’t have to baby it. The band is strong and durable. For me, this watch is perfect. The fact that it’s worth more than I paid is icing on the cake.

Hi, Adrian! Well, that may just be the most enjoyable video of yours that I've ever seen. Just love the Submariner. Bought myself a 114060 last summer. When I put him on my wrist every morning, he simply makes me happy. Just a little happiness that I otherwise wouldn't have. A little lift to my day that no one else knows about. I'm relatively new to wristwatches - less than 2 years trawling KZread watch channels - and from what I've seen so far, everyone ends up in vintage. But I'm not there (yet). The only sub I've handled is the ceramic. Maybe everything will change when I eventually hold a glistening, knee-wobbling 5-digit. But until then, I'm an engineer and my clinical beast (and I love how you call it that; he really is a beast) joins me faithfully in all I do: quiet, -0.3 seconds per day, brutishly reliable, stoically unfailing, resolute. And then I take him off before going to bed, wish him, "Goodnight," put him on his microfibre cloth to sleep, and switch off the light above him. :)

14060 was produced until 1999/00, while 14060m was produced from 2000/1 - 2009/10. They began using luminova around 1998/99 (swiss only dials) and super luminova came out around 2000, (swiss made dials). so, you have about a year gap when the 14060 could have come out of the factory on swiss made dial. my point being that even if your generalizations fit about 90% of 14060 cases, where swiss made dials are clearly service dials, there are certainly exceptions with some A serial and P serial 14060 productions coming out of the factory with swiss made dials.

Thanks for the video Adrian ! Great detailed work as always !

I like the style of the vintage Subs but to me a dive watch needs to be tough and reliable, so the 114060 is the best for me. I also hate flimsy bracelets and clasps, and since a Sub belongs on a bracelet, that's another reason to go for the current version.

@adrianbarker do you prefer the no date

Just a note, Rolex did release dials that said "tritium" but had luminova instead. This was around 1997 when they were making the switch and are colloquially known as tritinova dials.

I didn’t know that. But knowing Rolex, it doesn’t surprise me.

You are correct. Ciao

"I usually use the bezel" *look on the wirst* ... damn Explorer ;-) Nice video as always! Cheers

How can we find more information on the ceramic shaterring?

The best please is to search forums. The Rolex Forum and try Reddit. I’ve only met people who have shattered the bezel.

Great video. This helps with understanding the sub, thanks.

something similar about the gmt master from you would fit so great in my sunday morning youtube and capuccino routine:). the black bezel "vader" is my favourite. the only watch i own so far beside the iwatch for fitness. but i'd love to hear yor thoughts!

Missed the 14060 transitional with Luminova with “Swiss” only at 6. Was last run before the 14060m.

Have the date version with swiss only dial. Great watch. For me it's a good blend between modern and vintage

People are going to look back at this time and wonder why they didn't buy the Swiss only Rolexes. They don't really go for much of (if any) premium right now, but they will. Oh they will.

Thanks Adrian for this video ! Small question / remark: after some research, I understood that the sub 14060 was produced until 2001, Am I wrong? I am looking to buy a sub and I found a magnificent 14060 (Swiss made) from 2001. Do I have to question its authenticity?

Hi Gary, the problem with old Rolex operation was there were very few clean cut changes. Many watches are called “transitional” as they might have one model number but actually contains components of another model number. So you could have a 14060 from 2001 with a 14060m dial.

I want to start my own company that helps people find their watch style based on their fashion needs and tastes. I love what @JenniElle said about watch companies marketing men's watches and women's watches differently and why women seem to sometimes be less interested in the watch industry because of that. Definitely something we need to change. Would love to see a video on what type of Rolex suits you best based on various Rolex styles. Cheers!

Great info on the references. Thanks, Adrian!
