This post has some interesting information concerning the iconic Submariner no-date 14060 and 14060M. It was originally posted by JamJam @ TZ-UK and updated by Seabreeze60.
Make: ROLEX
Model: SUBMARINER
Model: 14060 and 14060M
Year: 1990 - 2011 (2012 the 114060 was introduced)
Case: 39.5 mm
Dial: BLACK
Movement: 3000/3130
History
When Rolex first introduced the ref. 14060 in 1990 after retiring the 5513, it came equipped with the Caliber 3000 automatic movement. Then in 1999, Rolex furnished the no date Submariner with the Caliber 3130 automatic movement, thus the 14060M was born where "M" stands for "modified." In 1999 the dial of the 14060M Submariner changed from Tritium to Luminova. In 2007 the 14060M became a certified chronometer and extra text was added to the dial sometimes referred to as COSC, or 4 line. From 2007 to 2011 the 14060M Submariner was produced with an engraved inner rehault.
The first generation of reference 14060M were two-liners. Rolex did not submit this model to the scrutiny of COSC until 2007 that brought the 14060M its official COSC approval. With the approval Rolex gave buyers the choice of going for the formally sanctioned four-liner Superlative Chronometer, or sticking with the more vintage inspired two-liner.
At the 2012 BaselWorld watch show, an updated Submariner ref 114060 was introduced. It replaced the 14060M, with newer "Maxi Case" with "Chromalight" hour markers, ceramic bezel, blue Parachrom hairspring and bracelet with "Glidelock" extension system.[7]

Other Information
The Triplelock crown is physically larger than the Twinlock, there is also four separate rubber gaskets as apposed to the two in the Twinlock crown, This is the major factor difference in allowing the Triplelock to be water resistant to a deeper depth, The Triplelock crown is identified by three separate dots beneath the Rolex coronet on the winding crown.
