Rolex Submariner 14060m Review. 5513, 14060 and 124060 Comparisons.

[@kcmo208]

Hi Tony…female fan here. Congrats on this classic. My fave Sub! I’d love a 14060M myself….had a 16610 many years ago. Enjoy!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hi. Awesome! I have a few female viewers. Hopefully you can pick one up soon. 🎃🎃🤙🤙

[@dannyg6592]

I own both a 16610 and a 124060. The ceramic Sub is a better watch, but I prefer to wear the 16610. There is some "magic" to the pre-ceramic Subs that is not present in the new ones. Enjoy your beautiful 14060 in good health, Tony!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you. I agree. 😊🤙🤙

[@glenfitton2584]

I bought a Rolex Submariner 14060M in 2002. It’s in perfect condition. 2 years ago I got on the waitlist for a Daytona. With the recent 3% price increase and 9% sales tax, the price would be about $17,000. I took myself off the list this month. I’m a simple guy and I only have one left wrist. I’d rather be wearing the sub. I watch all your videos.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks for sharing that. And thanks for watching my vids. 🤙🤙

[@dean5346]

Great review Tony. I have the Rolex Kermit 2008. And the 41 starbucks. There is definitely more of a charm for the 5 digit sub ref. As you say the new Starbucks is definitely not a tool watch any more. For me the 41 is a better size for my wrist. Really you should just have both models. They are both nice watches. 👍.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! 🤙🤙🎃🎃

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

I always wanted a 5513 but in 2016 came across a great deal on a 1991 14060. Years later I always felt I settled but when I compare the last few years of production of the 5513 of 1984 - 1989 and the replacement 14060 I realise how similar they are. The way Rolex raised the sapphire crystal on the 14060 gave the feel of the last few years of the low profile dome 5513 and since the both had trip lock crowns and white gold indices making them closer than ever. The 60s - 70s 5513 with the painted on indices really is what I was looking for but of course all pre white gold dial one are more pricey.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks for sharing that! 🤙🤙

[@umq5147]

Awesome video tony

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you!

[@bobwatson9290]

The 14060 tritium lume was off the chain. Last great sub in my opinion. Sure do miss mine.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hopefully you can pick another up. 🤙🤙

[@scoobydooby9151]

One correction. The 14060 never had solid end links. Great watch!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! 🤙🤙

[@neoretrophoto9198]

Cool watch and great comparison - have been trying to to decide between the 14060m and 124060. I tried a 14060m that fit my wrist well - leaning that way and the review helps. I like the 4-liner.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Awesome man. Thank you. Whatever choice you make will be a good one.

[@scoobydooby9151]

Does the clasp close secure or come apart easily. I've seen on forums if one end gets pulled on it may release.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Mine is pretty secure. I have no worries with it.

[@z06cowboy72]

Great watch my friend. I find something to like in every version of the Submariner.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

🤙🤙

[@omar10213245]

Great pick-up, Tony. I used to own a 14060 from 1999, it was a "Swiss Only" model, and I sold it (like an idiot). Wish I'd never let that one go.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Ugh, I hate when that happens.

[@mettagirl1]

Hey Tony-Mine is a 2994 :). I love the GMT on you as well as the 14060M! Perfect sizes on you. I definitely prefer the 14060 to the current submariner reference, and I prefer two lines instead of four :).

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

I’m guessing yours is a 2004? 😂 I definitely agree. I do like the 124060, but the 14060m is definitely perfect! I prefer the 2 lines as well. Thank you. 😊🎃👻💀🦇

[@ameeral-shammaa9012]

I like the aluminium bezel better than the ceramic one. The hollow end links make the watch feel better on the wrist. The new sports models Rolex watches are too heavy and too “blingy” for my liking. I still prefer the Tritium dials better than the superluminova ones. A 5513 with a gilt dial would be my aspiration. However the prices are getting more and more out of what I’m willing to invest in an “old sub”.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Yeah, the 5513’s are definitely getting up there in price.

[@ron74555]

I'm in the same boat as you regarding the newest sub. Once I got my GMT Master ll, the new sub just felt too big.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that. Have a great day. 🤙🤙

[@Kalmar917]

Great review on the last Sub as close as you can get to the 5513 yet you can wear it doing anything without a care. Awesome video!!!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you. 🤙🤙

[@Kalmar917]

You are welcome!

[@Joseph-gv]

Great watch! How would you compare the 14060m to the Tudor models you've owned in the past?

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey man, I’ll add to the Q&A.

[@TimeBaum]

thanks for the review, very insightful as I've been considering a 5 digit sub for a while now

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you! Best of luck on your decision.

[@gordonjohnston684]

I don’t understand why Rolex can’t aline the Logo on the crown, so the Rolex logo is upright position when fully screwed in. I had my Sea Dweller serviced, the new crown came back with the logo perfectly upside down positioned. It’s annoying for my OCD disorder. Lol.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

😂

[@NickSisto-ck9dw]

Love the Sub Tony! Wear it in good health.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you man! 🤙🤙

[@Kees_vH]

Hi Tony that is another beautiful one 👍 Do you also have this on a rubber band?

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man. No, I prefer Rolex on the bracelet.

[@mickfryar6120]

Congratulations on the Sub! I’m sure you will love it forever.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man! Yours too. 🤙🤙

[@luvsallbikes279]

Hey Tony , another great video , I appreciate the info , you answered a question for me on one of your other videos a week or so ago appreciate that too. But now I want 14060M … oh noooo !! lol cheers

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

lol, awesome. Pick one up! 🤙🤙

[@LesterLovesWatches]

I get you with what you said about watches recent enough to trust swimming with, but I would urge everyone with a watch over 5 years old to get it pressure tested. Don’t risk that your seals are still working.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

🤙🤙

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

It’s a badass watch, man. Perfection.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you sir!! 🎃🎃🤙🤙

[@RoyDeMeo-2]

Great watch! We have a mutual friend who is going to introduce me to his AD in hopes of picking up a new black sub. 🤞

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Awesome. Best of luck. 🤙🤙

[@z06cowboy72]

On another note, It seems Crown & Caliber has gone out of business, at least nothing is listed for sale on their website any longer.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

They were bought by European Watch company.

[@VahanS]

Beautiful piece Tony Im guessing this one will stay in your collection most likely;wear it in good health!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man. Yes. This is a keeper. 🎃🎃🤙🤙

[@kevorknourian5442]

Lovely timepiece, I believe staying on your wrist all the time 🎉

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you.

[@MachoLibre-u1w]

Are you sure the links are solid. I thought all the 14060s had hollow links

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Key points about the Rolex 14060: Hollow end links: The 14060 has hollow end links on its bracelet. Vintage feel: This hollow link design gives the watch a more vintage aesthetic. Later models with solid end links: Newer Rolex Submariner models, including the 14060M, typically have solid end links. I have the 14060m.

[@lovesautodetail]

Making me fall in love with my sub again.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

🤙🤙

[@jasons46]

I have the same watch on today. 2005 14060M 2-liner. I tried the new reference and it's too big and too blingy for me. 5-digit all the way.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Awesome! 🤙🤙

[@JL-OnwardandUpward]

Tony, how many watches do you keep in your primary collection? Obviously, minus the Swatches and beaters.

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

I’ll add to the Q&A. Thanks.

[@Crackers2549]

Super watch TG…. You have one hell of a collection… Beautiful watches…!!! I’m small potatoes but can appreciate your outstanding collection, you earned it … 💯👍 Another 5 STAR 💫 VIDEO GG

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thank you man!! It’s not about how many you have. As long as you love your watches, that’s all that matters.

[@nicodread3747]

nice thx!

Tony rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!👻

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Hey Sean, did you send me a request on FB? I usually don’t accept, but if it’s you I accepted. I see you’re a Monkees fan? I worked with Bobby Hart from Boise/Hart a lot back in the 90’s. He wrote a lot of songs for them.

[@seanmiller7187]

@@talkingtimepieceswithtony Yes Sir. I am a huge Monkees fan. I've seen them a bunch of times all over the country. I miss Nez. I went to LA to see him at The Troubadour in 2018 when he reformed The First National Band. I worked with Bobby Ferrari teaching audio production in Las Vegas. Bobby was Micky's bass player back in the day. It's crazy how small the music world is. 😀

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

@@seanmiller7187 that’s awesome man! Very cool! I was doing session work on a musical called Uprising, as well as worked on a Micky Thomas record that were all recorded at Bobby Hart’s studio at his home in the Hollywood Hills. I always appreciate your awesome comments as well.

[@BLR653]

2 lines of text is so much cleaner man. Reminds me of my 124270 Explorer 1 dial. Also very clean. I have the newer Sub (116610) and GMT as well. You are right the GMT is so much more comfortable! I scratched the 14060 itch with a Tudor BB58 in blue. Very similar case design to 5 series Rolex and can pick one up for $2500!

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Awesome! 🤙🤙

[@FormulaWhiplash]

I tried on a 1976 pepsi a few weeks ago. Hollow links and jangley bracelet clasp. Felt cheap and disappointing. I didn't know they did the sub with the full links but still the old style bracelet clasp. An interesting mix for sure! I've been considering getting the new sub (date) from my AD while I wait for my GMTs to come in so this video was very informative. Keep up the great work!

[@hondacbx1975]

A 1675 gmt cheap and disappointing …🤔 ok ..

[@talkingtimepieceswithtony]

Thanks man. Best of luck on the new sub and gmt. 🤙🤙🎃🎃
