The Rolex Submariner Ref. 14060M represents the perfect blend of classic Submariner heritage and modern reliability. Produced in 2003 and sold in the UK in 2004, this example features the desirable “two-liner” dial configuration, prized for its clean symmetry and status as the final generation before Rolex introduced chronometer text.
The 40 mm stainless-steel case houses the robust Calibre 3130 automatic movement, admired for its longevity and accuracy. Paired with a black aluminium bezel insert and gloss black dial, this reference achieves the timeless Submariner aesthetic that collectors return to again and again.
This example comes as a full UK-supplied set, including box, punched papers, wallet, Submariner booklet, calendar card and translation booklet, confirming its 2004 sale in Southampton.

A Word on Condition
This is a beautifully preserved example with sharp, well-defined lugs and excellent case proportions, as clearly shown in our detailed photographs. The case has not suffered from heavy polishing, and the bracelet shows minimal stretch, retaining its tight, reassuring feel. The dial, bezel and hands remain in superb condition throughout, with only light, honest signs of wear.
Collector Insight
The 14060M occupies a special place in Submariner history. It bridges two eras: the vintage lineage of the 5513 and the modern upgrades that would define Rolex sports watches for decades to come. Featuring a sapphire crystal, improved materials and the cal. 3130, yet retaining the clean two-line dial and no-date purity of earlier tool watches, the 14060M is widely regarded as the last true “classic” Submariner.
Its status as the final two-liner generation makes 2000s examples particularly collectible, and full sets like this are becoming increasingly scarce as collectors hold onto them long term.
Why Buy This Watch
For collectors seeking a Submariner that delivers vintage charm with modern reliability, the 14060M two-liner is the perfect choice. Add to that a full UK set, crisp case, minimal stretch bracelet and outstanding originality — and you have one of the most desirable neo-vintage Submariners available today.
A superb collector’s piece and a fantastic long-term investment.
