Rolex 14060 - NH35 powered

Recommended Posts

Generally known as the "last of the best" the 14060 has no date to unbalance the dial and hearkens back to the prior era of subs.  Introduced in 1990, this was the last gasp before the supercase.  I just put this here to reference the build.  It's really just a old case from a broken Silix special someone gave me.  I polished off the engravings, added a sapphire crystal I had in spare parts, and an insert from WSO.  More interestingly, I just dropped in a NH35 Seiko movement.  After all the ado about how it was so hard all I had to do was pop off the dial feet, add 4 pieces of double sided tape to the edge of the spacer, press the dial on, put the right size hands on, and it just dropped right in without the need for a spacer.  Like its made to fit.  The stem that comes in  the movement (there are two in a pack) didn't even need trimming.  Runs great and looks sharp.  On to the pics.

I really like my new desk setup.

Pure simplicity is the way to go, and it doesn't get more honest than an NH35, if you can call a rep "honest", and in this case I do.

This one looks great! I love no-date versions.  I have a new Hommage with a NH35 and I have an older case coming. I also have a dial that looks like this one (not too sure) on order and a Jubilee braclet as well...unmarked. Do I have a starting point?

thanks

Holy thread revival! it's me again... 

Do you reckon the same concept would work using a BP factory 3135 case?
