About the Rolex Submariner 14060

The Rolex Submariner 14060 is the classic five-digit No-Date Submariner, featuring a stainless steel case, black aluminum bezel, and a clean, symmetrical dial with no date window or Cyclops lens. If you are looking for a pre-owned Rolex Submariner 14060 for sale, WatchGuys carries authenticated inventory with a 2-year warranty and overnight shipping. The 14060 family spans two references: the original 14060 (1990 to 1999) powered by the Caliber 3000, and the 14060M (1999 to 2012) upgraded to the Caliber 3130 ("M" for modified). Both sit within the broader Rolex Submariner collection and represent the last generation of No-Date Submariners with the traditional case shape, aluminum bezel, and drilled lugs before the ceramic era began with the Rolex Submariner 114060.

Rolex Submariner 14060 Specifications

The 14060 features a 40mm case crafted from 904L stainless steel with the classic Submariner case profile, thinner lugs, and a slimmer overall presence on the wrist compared to the "Super Case" models that followed. All examples have drilled lugs, making it easy to swap the Oyster bracelet for a leather or NATO strap. The unidirectional rotating bezel uses a black aluminum insert with painted minute markings. The 14060 was the first No-Date Submariner with a sapphire crystal (replacing the acrylic crystal on the predecessor 5513) and a Triplock crown for 300-meter water resistance. Early 14060 examples feature tritium lume on the dial and hands (identifiable by "SWISS-T<25" at 6 o'clock), while later production switched to Super-LumiNova. The 14060M introduced the Caliber 3130 with improved accuracy and a full balance bridge, and from 2007 onward, it received COSC Superlative Chronometer certification with a "4-liner" dial. The Date counterpart from this era is the Rolex Submariner 16610. For more stainless steel Rolex options, explore that collection.

Rolex Submariner 14060 Price

Pre-owned Rolex Submariner 14060 and 14060M watches typically trade between $7,000 and $11,000 on the secondary market, depending on variant (14060 vs. 14060M, 2-liner vs. 4-liner), condition, production year, and completeness. Earlier tritium-dial 14060 examples with strong lume patina are sought after by collectors and can carry a premium for clean examples. Late-production 14060M 4-liners with COSC certification also trade at the higher end. The 14060 has been one of the best performers in the Submariner collection over the past year, appreciating roughly 10% and outperforming both the Rolex brand average and the Submariner index.

Rolex 14060 vs. 114060

The Rolex Submariner 114060 replaced the 14060M in 2012 as the next-generation No-Date Submariner. The 114060 introduced a Cerachrom ceramic bezel (replacing aluminum), the "Super Case" with broader lugs, a Maxi dial with larger hour markers, Chromalight luminescence, and the Glidelock bracelet extension system. Both are stainless steel No-Date Submariners with 40mm case diameters and no date window. The 14060/14060M offers a slimmer, more classic case profile, drilled lugs for strap versatility, lighter weight, and a lower price point on the secondary market. The 114060 provides modern scratch resistance and bracelet adjustability. For the current-production No-Date, see the Rolex Submariner 124060.

Common Questions

Rolex Submariner 14060 FAQ

• How Much Does a Rolex Submariner 14060 Cost?

  Pre-owned Rolex Submariner 14060 and 14060M watches typically range from $7,000 to $11,000 depending on variant, condition, production year, and whether the original box and papers are included. Tritium-dial 14060 examples with attractive lume patina are prized by collectors, while late-production 14060M 4-liners with COSC certification tend to trade at the higher end. Complete sets with documentation command a premium over watch-only purchases.

• What Is the Difference Between the 14060 and 14060M?

  The "M" in 14060M stands for "modified" and refers to the movement upgrade from the Caliber 3000 (in the 14060) to the Caliber 3130 (in the 14060M). The 14060 was produced from 1990 to approximately 1999, while the 14060M ran from approximately 1999 to 2012. From 2007, the 14060M received COSC Superlative Chronometer certification, adding two extra lines of text to the dial (known as the "4-liner"). Earlier 14060M models have the cleaner "2-liner" dial. Externally, both look nearly identical, with the dial text being the primary visual difference.

• Is the Rolex 14060 Discontinued?

  Yes. The original 14060 was replaced by the 14060M around 1999, and the 14060M itself was discontinued in 2012 when the 114060 was introduced with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel and updated case design. Together, the 14060 and 14060M span over two decades of production, making them the longest-running No-Date Submariner generation. They are the last No-Date Submariners to feature an aluminum bezel, drilled lugs, and the classic slim case profile.

• Rolex 14060 vs. 114060: What Changed?

  The 114060 replaced the 14060M in 2012 and introduced several major upgrades. The most visible change is the bezel: the 114060 uses a scratch-resistant Cerachrom ceramic insert, replacing the aluminum insert on the 14060. The 114060 also introduced the broader-lugged case design, a Maxi dial with larger hour markers, Chromalight luminescence, and the Glidelock bracelet extension system. The 14060/14060M offers a slimmer case profile, drilled lugs for easy strap swaps, lighter weight on the wrist, and a lower price on the secondary market. Both are stainless steel No-Date Submariners with 40mm cases and no date window.

• What Size Is the Rolex Submariner 14060?

  The Rolex Submariner 14060 and 14060M have a case diameter that measures just under 40mm (approximately 39.5mm without the crown). The case uses the classic Submariner profile with slimmer lugs and a thinner case than the successor 114060 or the current 124060. This makes it one of the most comfortable and wearable Submariners for those who prefer a more compact fit. The drilled lugs, thinner case, and lighter bracelet give it a noticeably different wrist feel compared to modern six-digit Submariner references.

• Is the Rolex Submariner 14060 a Good Investment?

  The Rolex Submariner 14060 has been one of the best-performing Submariners on the secondary market over the past year, appreciating roughly 10% and outperforming both the Rolex brand average and the Submariner collection average. As the last classically styled No-Date Submariner with an aluminum bezel and drilled lugs, it holds a distinct position in the collection's history. Its accessible price point, high liquidity (median sell time under four weeks), and growing appreciation among collectors who value the traditional Submariner proportions all support its long-term value. That said, secondary market prices fluctuate, and no watch purchase should be treated purely as a financial investment.
