A Rolex??? Are you kidding me? The 14060M “Long Good F”

Oct 16, 2018,22:55 PM
 

A Rolex (crown) for Crown Comfort?

 



Exactly the look on my face.

 

But that Baron guy is dangerous.

 

www.watchprosite.com

 

But he is damn right. It kinda suits me, no?



 

But let’s go back to the beginning. When it comes to watches, I have a somewhat “special” taste and a “special” approach.

 

I don’t go mainstream, I want something not everyone has. And when I find something I like, I go all-in and deep. That’s how I ended up with a sizeable collection of Girard-Perregaux watches.

 

If there was one brand that was stereotypical of “mainstream” then it has to be Rolex, and the Submariner is likely the most recognizable of them all.

 

On the other hand, I kind of like the fact that there is something special 99.9% never heard of and the another 0.1% need to look real close to see it.

 



 

The Long Good F(riday) 14060M.

 



 

It was still a difficult decision process…should I, no?, yes?...

 

But then, who cares what others think. I think it’s a classic Diver watch with great vintage roots, a tool watch and with an almost hidden little secret, the Long Good F.

 



Love is all around!

 

Thanks Baron for pointing my nose to it.

The devil is in the details

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : October 16th, 2018-23:38
Very Rare (Moser & Cie ain’t got nothing on me). ...  

Indeed it is the detail

 
 By: crown comfort : October 17th, 2018-07:46
but why does your dial come with a yellow circle? Bamford?

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I'm sure that will send the price skyrocketing.

Huge congrats, dear friend! :)

Crown looks good on your wrist and even more so, the Long Good F! Best Blomman PS. Will be the odd one out in your awesome GP collection!

Thanks my friend and LGF brother

 
 By: crown comfort : October 17th, 2018-07:47
yep, the odd one out, which is not a bad thing, right.

Not at all! :)

Bit soon, one will be two, two becomes three....! Best Blomman

Wow, unexpected. Congratulations and wear it in good health.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : October 17th, 2018-00:57
Very unexpected for you my friend. Looks great, though, no denying that. So, if my math is right, already 2 people have been swayed by Baron's post. And another one that happened to stumble into it (Arie, who else). That makes 3. curious to see if there a... 

You know...if you always do the expected, it becomes boring.

 
 By: crown comfort : October 17th, 2018-10:12
tempted as well? I'll take bets you are not a Rolex guy!

Rolex guy, me??? C’mon you know better.

Only when the wife desires one.

that works ;) [nt]

Not for my wallet. [nt]

You know you want to! ;) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 17th, 2018-22:41

Noooooo. I'll fight till the end.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : October 17th, 2018-23:21
All of you are now ganging up. Besides, according to Arie, these are incredibly difficult to find now.

+1 ;) [nt]

Great move..

Horology, like anything else, should be free of stereotypes

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : October 17th, 2018-01:30
A small step for man, but a giant leap for CC: congrats to it! The No Date Sub was the first Rolex that caught my attention and was always on my mind. Now, I guess the hunt is on ...

I only found 4 for sale with B&P (today)

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : October 17th, 2018-01:42
You wouldn’t expect a super standard Sub to be that rare. Especially at this price level. All I can say is: you snooze, you lose!

Wow, that is rare for a Rolex.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : October 17th, 2018-01:58
Call me ignorant, but one little letter makes this much difference?

It does not just make a difference, it makes watch lovers go crazy 😉

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : October 17th, 2018-04:16
Finally there is a very hot topic going on at Rolex. We all know who is accountable for that ...

Of course we know the culprit.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : October 17th, 2018-10:18
But the fact that such tiny details make collectors crazy always amazes me. Good for the people who managed to snag them.

What makes it even more weird: I am starting to loose focusing with my naked eyes ...

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : October 17th, 2018-13:40
... and very soon I will not be able to see this long F. But I know it is there 😀

Buy a loupe;-) [nt]

Saw your little research, that is really not a lot, but hey

 
 By: crown comfort : October 18th, 2018-13:17
I'm used to hunt GPs and some of those I'm lucky to find one for sale within a 2 year timeframe

Just a small gleam of light....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : October 17th, 2018-03:22
......in an otherwise room of vintage darkness You are welcome I have to say, some watches just tick the box for me. This is one.

Your small gleam of light is starting to blind even me. [nt]

Congrats and wear in good health always!

 
 By: Prodyutb : October 17th, 2018-03:30
No doubt the 14060 is the very best of a tool watch that you would want to wear everyday. Once on the wrist, this one really feels just right for any occasion.

 By: Baron - Mr Red : October 17th, 2018-06:12
Firstly, congratulations! The 14060M is one of those watches that has been under teh radar for many years but now is starting to be recognised for the cool watch that it is. I think it needed the very moderrn Rolex with the much broader and overt lugs to ... 

Congratulations!

You got hooked? LOL, good luck with the hunt.

 
 By: crown comfort : October 18th, 2018-13:19
I can imagine the dealer will scratch his head when you want to trade a 14060M for another 14060M without letting him in on the LGF secret

looks good on you! [nt]

I think I can say...likewise ;) [nt]

 By: Brego : October 31st, 2018-14:44
Little did I know when I got my 4 line, no date Sub, that I was getting a quirky little detail. Thanks for pointing it out. This is why I love this site. Such original and knowledgeable owners. ...  

Great to see Brego.
