Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Rolex Submariner No Date Ref 14060? A: It’s the classic 40mm stainless‑steel Submariner without a date window, featuring the Oyster case, screw‑down crown, unidirectional dive bezel and an automatic Rolex movement. The no‑date layout gives a clean, symmetrical dial and a pure tool‑watch aesthetic.
Q: Which movement does a 1997 14060 use and what is the power reserve? A: Most 1997 Submariner 14060 examples house the automatic Rolex Calibre 3000 with hacking seconds and hand‑winding. Power reserve is typically around 48 hours. If you’d like us to confirm the exact calibre in this specific watch, we’re happy to do so.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and suitable for diving? A: The Submariner 14060 was originally rated to 300 metres (1000 ft). However, water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed. We recommend a fresh service, gasket replacement and pressure test by an authorised watchmaker before any swimming or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal and what bezel insert does it use? A: Yes—14060 models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. The bezel insert is aluminium with a luminous pip at 12; it is unidirectional and marked for 60 minutes. This reference predates ceramic bezels, which arrived on later Submariner generations.
Q: How do I set the time and wind the watch? A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise. Position 1: wind the watch (about 20–40 turns if it has stopped). Position 2: pull out to set the time; the seconds hand will stop (hack) for precise setting. When finished, push the crown in and screw it down firmly to maintain water resistance.
Q: Will it fit my wrist and can the bracelet be resized? A: The case is 40mm and this example’s bracelet fits up to approximately 18.5cm. We can size the bracelet before shipping, and additional links can often be sourced subject to availability. The lug width is 20mm if you wish to explore strap options.
Q: What’s the difference between the 14060 and 14060M? A: The 14060 (circa 1990s) typically uses the Calibre 3000 and is non‑chronometer (“two‑line” dial). The later 14060M (from around 1999/2000) uses the Calibre 3130; many early 14060M watches remain two‑line, while late examples gained COSC certification and “four‑line” text. This listing is a 1997 14060.
Q: What luminous material does a 1997 14060 use and is it safe? A: Dials from this era typically use tritium, often marked “Swiss ‑ T<25” at the bottom. Tritium lume ages to a warm patina and is generally considered safe in normal wear. It will not glow as brightly or as long as modern Super‑LumiNova.
Q: How can I verify the reference and production year? A: The reference is usually engraved between the lugs at 12 o’clock and the serial at 6 o’clock (bracelet removal is required). 1997 pieces commonly carry a “U”‑prefix serial. We can help verify these details and provide additional photos on request.
Q: What is included and do you guarantee authenticity and warranty? A: This watch is delivered with its box and a Rolex service card dated 2011. A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item and provides a 12‑month mechanical guarantee. Free, insured DHL shipping and a 14‑day return policy apply as stated in our listing.
