A contagious box 📦 arrived today 😱
This has haunted me since reading Joe’s reports on identifying future classics...
Finding one in the US is not easy and I’ve no confidence getting one from overseas, cannot imagine the difficulty in dealing if the transaction or watch has issues.
This is also my first transaction through the famous C platform.
First impression, watch is lighter than the modern Rolexes I have. Bracelet is also “clingy” and feels thin. Seller did say watch was slightly polished so I assume it was the bracelet.
Bezel doesn’t turn for this model?
Serial number matches to the rehaut which is a good sign but note to other members who are still looking, warranty card may say it’s a 14060 instead of 14060M. This is true for quite a few other listings which we know it has to be a 14060M.
As at yesterday, out of ~280 (14060 or 14060M) listings, only 6-7 has this LGF in the 4-liner, so definitely something relatively rare.
Thank you Joe for the contagious 😷 posts 😊

Congratulations Raymond
First and foremost....congratulations! The 14060 as a reference is a very cool watch. It has all the mod cons of a modern watch but it has the DNS of a vintage piece. A no-date Submariner with a vintage feel. For this reason itself, you have a very cool w...
Thank you for the guidance Joe 🙏🏻
Next I’ll bring to a watch maker to see the movement if it is the 3130.
Congrats and welcome to the LGF club! :)
The bezel should be able to rotate. Lighter than modern versions, of course - this one don't have the maxi case. Best Blomman
Thank you Blomman...
It is very tight and I was able to turn CCW. Is it bidirectional? I’m so hesitant to force it. Pls advise 🙏🏻
Welcome to the club Raymond
This is not just rare but superb neo vintage Rolex. I'm sure love will rise daily with that one. Cheers D
Glad to be here 👍🏻
It’s my first dip into the not so modern Rolex. Hope this opens up new opportunities and not rabbit holes 🤣 Thank you Mr Green 🙏🏻
Congratulations!
It’s a super cool watch with an extra charm to put a smile on your face. Welcome to the family!
I’m slowing feeling the charm...
It fits into my Rolexes, as I have only Land and Air, now I have a Sea. Thank you 🙏🏻
Congratulations!
It is a lovely, lovely Submariner no date! Some say the 14060M is the last of the best, and we can top this statement by owning a LGF 😀! Yes, the watch feels light and thin and the bracelet makes a little boise but that is part of its charm. My daily best...
It is also lighter and I’m guessing the SS is 316 instead of 904?
The no date part is good. Good to know my feelings are not isolated, still need to get the watch verified since I bought it unseen....but even if seen now, I still need confirmation although all indications looks great 😊 Thank you for the info too Moritz....
It is 904 steel, if I am not wrong
You did very well! I noticed that a LGF is not that often on offer in he US, for some reason.
I also noticed that, only 2-3 in US.
The smaller case and bezel also explains the weight differences.
Welcome to the club, Raymond 👍🏻
Congratulation for your successful hunting. It‘s still not easy to find a 14060M LGF. You‘ll find a lot of satisfaction in wearing it 😌
Thank you...need some time getting used to the thin and flimsy bracelet 😂
It’s good to find one in this condition.
So far so good, from all web reviews on 14060/M and here. Watch still keeping good time for the few hours I wore it....
Just waiting for my watch maker to confirm the inside 👍🏻. Thanks Joe.
Feels special to be in this exclusive club 👍🏻
Hopefully it’s a good start to other hunting process.
