Another Crown enters my collection – Rolex 14060M LGF

 

My very first “real watch” was a Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600…

Another early in to the collection watch was the Explorer II 16570.

Since then a lot of different watches, but not many Rolex…

I never considered myself as a Rolex collector, but I always thought I should have a Submariner.

A true classic that I think, even if looks are similar to the Sea-Dweller, it holds its own charm!

 

Problem is to find the right one, the vintage train left the station long time ago…

Moderns are too chunky and square for my taste...

 

After reading Baron’s post on the Rolex 14060M and the dial version “Long Good F” I knew I found “my” Submariner!


 

Subtle dial variations are very much a “Rolex thing”, IMO.


 

Within Jaeger-LeCoultre or Girard-Perregaux the focus among collectors are not as centred around dial variations as within Rolex…

Not sure if that has to do with the number of watches produced/available or type of collectors drawn to different brands…

I find the Long Good F a very charming detail that only those in the know will recognize and appreciate!

Finally, "my Submariner"!
