Has anyone ever regreted purchasing the 14050M with no Date?

I'm just purchased one, and I'm on the fence.

Playdrv4me · 31 December 2009, 05:30 AM

Yep, that was my second Rolex, and I sold it within a matter of weeks. I'm all for tradition and everything, but I just had to have the date.

Zanuf · 31 December 2009, 05:43 AM

When you wake up in the morning, repeat to yourself five times the day's date, "Wednesday, December 30th" and you should be ok! Whereas I have no problem remembering what day/date it is, I sometimes can't remember what year it is! But there is no Rolex for that! Great watch, by the way.

NYC6 · 31 December 2009, 05:48 AM

The worlds best spy didnt need a date complication and neither do I.lol
My ND suits me just fine.

Playdrv4me · 31 December 2009, 05:46 AM

Well, I like the functionality *and* appearance of the date and the cyclops. It's a Rolex hall-mark to me.

No doubt. But I do love the clean lines of the Sub ND and SD.

theken · 31 December 2009, 06:24 AM

I love mine just the way it is.
It will most likely be the last Rolex I sell.

A Timeless classic......

f16570 · 31 December 2009, 05:57 AM

Looks clean and classic

gold4u2 · 31 December 2009, 06:27 AM

My only regret is that I sold the watch..... I'm not crazy about a date on my watch.

G.J · 31 December 2009, 06:31 AM

Love it...

Speed · 31 December 2009, 06:31 AM

I want a no Date Subbie for the weekends!

1HotBoss70 · 31 December 2009, 06:54 AM

I just purchased a ND sub from our friend DAVIDSW...but have yet to receive it...I don't think I will have any regret, I regret not making this my first Rolex purchase, but I am very happy with my GMTIIc, and my DJII...

I am anxious in receiving it and using it as what people on the forum call "tool watch"...

I recently purchased a Pan104 and strayed to the otherside

...this is a watch so far I am regretting...Have not even worn it...BNIB..as they say...liked it in the showroom and fell hard for the sales pitch...Maybe if I wear it it will grow on me...hopefully not like fungus....

The PAM104 is a FINE wristwatch. THAT is one I would NOT regret at all, and if/when I move over to the PAM world, that would be my choice (again, because I like the date and cyclops, and yes I realize I fall into the minority on this fact).

JimC · 31 December 2009, 06:52 AM

Clean lines and a very classic look. Don't fret, and enjoy your watch! The more I see them, the more I like it.

R1@160@alltimes · 31 December 2009, 06:54 AM

I absolutely love 14060 but, personally need date functionality, so........

Tools · 31 December 2009, 07:01 AM

Regret it !!

The Sub is what started it all......... and it is arguably the most beloved and collected watch in the world, along with it's lesser sister, the Sub Date...

petesjag · 31 December 2009, 07:06 AM

Regret.. oh no,,,This is a gorgeous watch.. I would have gotten one if I had not already had a similar model in my collection..........Yes the clean lines are breathtaking..
enjoy,
pete

JimC · 31 December 2009, 07:07 AM

Great shot, Larry! Early on, I passed it over for the Sub Date. Now, well, maybe there is a tinge of regret in that...

here is a nice twist to the story,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

BMI · 31 December 2009, 02:43 PM

I have had my 14060M almost a couple of years and love it.
I do not yet have a problem with remembering what date it is, maybe later.

carlhaluss · 25 January 2010, 02:23 PM

It is unique, clean and refreshing for a diver watch like this.

For one thing, most of the other watch manufacturers - if not all - have the date function on the watch. There is no option. Secondly, the 40mm size, I think, is ideal.
Thirdly, the screw holes on the lugs.
Even if I was partial to having dates on my watches, I would get this one over the date version, just because it is such a unique classic.
I saw one at my AD yesterday, for the first time. I had gone to look at an Explorer, which I will be getting. However, when I saw the Sub ND, I almost changed my mind and got that. In the pictures I saw, the markers were smaller than on the date version, and I didn't know if I would like it or not. However, seeing it in the flesh, I had no doubt in my mind that this is a very desirable watch. I don't even know if they still make it.
If it were me, I would not have any second thoughts or regrets. You can always get a diver with the date later if you really want.
I could rave about this watch all night. It is my favourite watch of this type with movable bezel - bar none. If it weren't for the fact that I am itching to get an Explorer, I would be getting the Sub that I saw yesterday.

Cheers,
Carl

aleiberman · 31 December 2009, 07:52 AM

Thanks everyone. I like my watch more now :)

alphamale2012 · 31 December 2009, 07:58 AM

By far my fav watch.

Jason71 · 31 December 2009, 08:23 AM

I go through the ritual of checking TRF every morning before I go to work. I make it a point to etch the date into my mind every morning, and I have no trouble remembering the date. Now, my 14060M and my White Milgauss are the two watches that I wear the most...........and neither one has the date

I love my 14060M. It is a must for any Rolex collection IMHO.

AWS · 31 December 2009, 08:27 AM

Regret.....no way! I own a Sub Date and would love to add the no date to my collection.

RC2 · 31 December 2009, 08:40 AM

Great watch - I used to not like it b/c of the ND, but it really grows on you.

submariner16610 · 31 December 2009, 09:47 AM

i prefer 16610 date sub or if u hate cyclops go for sea dweller

GoldenBear · 31 December 2009, 09:53 AM

A Rolex without the date and a cyclops seems lacking.
