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 watch.

With the Long F on a 4-liner 14060M, you also have a rare variation of this cool watch. How many of these LGFs out there? I don't know. Count de M suggests 5% of the 14060s is a decent estimate. Its a rare version.


Big congratulations to you. You join a community on here of about a dozen noiw who have fallen for its charm

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 ...  

Congratulations Raymond

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 πŸ™πŸ»

also often quite stiff to rotate [nt]

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 πŸ™πŸ»

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 πŸ˜€! 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?

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2019-11:24
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

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 24th, 2019-11:35
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.

BAM, another jumps on the train

It’s a very special detail that I may regret if trains gone πŸ˜‰

Or is it in front of a train? [nt]

Congratulation for your successful hunting. Itβ€˜s still not easy to find a 14060M LGF. Youβ€˜ll find a lot of satisfaction in wearing it 😌

Thank you...need some time getting used to the thin and flimsy bracelet πŸ˜‚

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 25th, 2019-06:42
It’s good to find one in this condition.

It says 93150 style...

Watch is not with me today but here’s a picture. ...  

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....
