I always say: no date no deal for me, look at me now....
Sorry....I said this in the past (I am a)
Bought it today V serie from 2010, complete set. Could not resist the beauty of this classic timepiece. I think it is a great combo with my (dress)watch the DJ. (Also the heat of the coming price increase, they are getting to expensive imho) Anyway, happy for today Sorry for the blurb pics, I am a very bad photographer.

Oh, I was going to get on here and agree with you. Sorry but the no date is a major deal breaker for me. I like the look of the Daytona but unless they add a date I won't have one. That and the fact Rolex has updated all the other models but the no date Sub. Enjoy your new watch.

Once you get used to not having a date it really is no big deal. Wouldn't let that put you off owning a great watch. Congrats.

I got a feeling your going to love not having a date. Nothing is like enjoying the simplicity of a clean dial and not having to set the date is quite convenient. Always great to have both, congrats!

Nope, I bought it from a grey seller/internet shop here in Holland.
1,5 year old but looks like new and is a complete set.

A great watch. I love the date on a Rolex, but have to admit the Daytona is THE BOMB and it doesn't have one!!

Excellent choice....
Not having a date is really a non-issue for me, and the 14060 is the best way to forget what day it is!! Congratulations...

I have a 5513 and a GMT. I NEVER look at the date window when wearing my GMT - too many other date access choices such as a nearby calendar, computer, or crackberry.
Hard to see the date window anyway without my glasses on |
