2001 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 14060M) W/ Box & Papers

The ref. 14060 Rolex Submariner was introduced in 1990 as the new and improved version of its long-running predecessor, the legendary 5513. The 14060 featured a number of improvements from the 5513, including an increased depth rating to 300m or 1000 ft, a sapphire crystal, a 904L stainless steel case, and the upgraded cal. 3000 Rolex movement. The 14060 remained in production until 1999 when it was replaced by the 14060M reference, the "M" standing for modified as the 14060M was now outfitted with the Rolex cal. 3130 movement. 

There are essentially two versions of the Rolex 14060M, known best to collectors as the 2-line dial and the 4-line dial. The main difference between the two, is well, the number of lines of text on the dial. The 2-line dial 14060M came first and was in production from 2000-2008. The 4-line dial came into existence when Rolex made the decision to submit the cal. 3130 movement to COSC to be chronometer-certified, hence the "superlative chronometer officially certified" text that exists beneath the depth rating that gives the dial its two extra lines of text. 

The earlier 2-line offering of the ref. 14060M is the very last incarnation of the dial design format put forth by the 5513, and is regarded by many as the last vintage or 'neo-vintage' Submariners available today. This specific example is offered as a full set and in excellent condition.
