1999 Rolex Submariner No-Date "2 Liner" 40mm 14060

Here is a 1999 Rolex Submariner No-Date "2 Liner" 14060. This is the final year of the Ref:14060 as the Ref:14060M was launched in 1999 with an updated movement. The curvaceous 40mm stainless steel Oyster case curves over your wrist with drilled tapered lugs, polished and brushed surfaces transition with a crisp edge, a lug-to-lug length of 47mm, and a case thickness of 12mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed Rolex screw-down crown. The crown guards are part of the case, which gives it strength. The unidirectional black aluminium divers bezel holds a sapphire crystal above a black dial, with applied white-gold disc and baton indexes that are infilled with SuperLumiNova, marking the hours. The Mercedes's hands are complemented by a lollipop counterbalanced sweeping second-hand, filled with SuperLumiNova; at 12 o’clock, a Rolex crown with the text was precisely applied. At 6 o’clock we have the “2 lines” “Submariner” 1000ft=300m. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back. Inside an automatic Rolex Cal. 3000, 27 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour with hacking and hand winding for your convenience. It comes paired with its original full-links 20mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet secured by a signed folding clasp and flip-lock, and the watch comes with its Rolex presentation box, Rolex Anchor and Booklets.

This watch is sold with its Rolex box, Rolex Anchor and booklets. It comes paired with its original full-links 20mm stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet secured by a signed folding clasp and flip-lock. The watch is from Circa 1999 and is in worn and enjoyed condition, as you can see. A full case and bracelet refurb can be provided at an additional cost. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

This is one of the final Rolex Submariner No-Date 14060 from 1999, before, in the same year, they updated the model to the 14060M with a modified movement. This 14060 features the automatic Rolex calibre 3000 and has the very aesthetically pleasing 2 lines of text at 6 o'clock, giving it the nickname '2-Liner'. If you are in the market for a Submariner, the 14060 will always be a fantastic and timeless choice. Plus, I personally prefer them when they've got a bit of wear and have had a bit of love over the years, like this one. Add it to your collection today!

In 1905, German-born Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis set up a company in London that imported Swiss movements which are installed in British cases and sold to jewellers who put their names on the dials. Recognising the potential for their brand, Wilsdorf created the brand name Rolex in 1908. In 1910, a Rolex became the first wristwatch to carry the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne, Switzerland. Demand for Rolex watches rose swiftly, and British taxes on the Swiss movements Rolex used prompted Wilsdorf to move the business to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919. With production costs lowered, Wilsdorf quickly set out to solve the age-old problem of moisture and dust entering a watch case and damaging the movement. The Rolex watchmakers came up with a fully sealed watch case, which Wilsdorf named the Oyster, and released to an appreciative audience in 1926. In 1931, Rolex introduced the first automatic winding wristwatch, giving it the legendary name Oyster Perpetual. In 1945, they released Datejust. The Datejust was the first watch to have the date jump instantaneously at midnight. The 1950s saw a whole lot of releases, such as the Air-King (1958), the Explorer (1953), the Submariner (1953), the GMT Master (1955), the Day-Date (1956), the electromagnetic field-resistant Milgauss (1956), the Lady-Datejust (1957) and the first Deep Sea model (1960). Wilsdorf’s death in 1960 saw ownership of Rolex S.A. (a collection of sub-companies) passed to the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which was founded by Wilsdorf in 1945, the mission of which is simply to sustain Rolex S.A. indefinitely.
