I have narrowed my list 2 watches - a SS Sub Date and an SS Sub No Date.

Which would you buy???

RW16610 · 19 June 2008, 12:56 PM

The SS Submariner date of course for me. Like having the date on any of my watches.

Tools · 19 June 2008, 12:59 PM

I'm pretty fond of this one.

abcde50 · 19 June 2008, 01:00 PM

I love the clean look of the ND, but hate the holes in the lugs.....

Hamilton Carvalho · 19 June 2008, 01:05 PM

Beautiful pic Larry!

i prefer the sub date

Octopus · 19 June 2008, 01:00 PM

No date for me.

Cleaner lines, symmetrical face, no clumpy cyclops. Truer to the original design.

James Bond didnt need a cyclops.

jasonbellevue · 19 June 2008, 01:01 PM

Sub Date for me

Try them on, take your time, the bottom line is, you have to go with the one that smiles back at you.

Hamilton Carvalho · 19 June 2008, 01:03 PM

The Sub date is too popular here in New York IMO, I see them all the time, but, it's hard to see the Sub ND. So, for this reason I would prefer the Sub ND.

Haole · 19 June 2008, 01:12 PM

Naturally I'm partial to the Date.

DSJ · 19 June 2008, 01:14 PM

Submariner Date is the only watch you will ever need. Submariner no-date is the only watch you will ever need.

Both are great, I prefer the date, my brother, the no-date.

lorsban · 19 June 2008, 01:17 PM

No date for me, or get an SD - best of both worlds.

karmatp · 19 June 2008, 01:22 PM

Get the original Sub...they don't get any better. Perfect watch and no cyclops to distort that amazing dial.

B-ling88 · 19 June 2008, 01:22 PM

Subdate for the datefunction and Sub no date for it's classyness clean look. I'd prefer the date though.

casadecamporolex · 19 June 2008, 01:23 PM

I am a guy who likes the date on a watch; yet, have you tried the SeaDweller?
That might be the answer because it has a combination of both looks.
Also, it was very recently discontinued making it highly tradeable in the future.

pwrslider · 19 June 2008, 01:50 PM

IF this is your first....I'd go with the iconic DATE!

ken72 · 19 June 2008, 01:52 PM

I would choose a non date. When I buy my first sub, that will be my choice.

sea-dweller · 19 June 2008, 01:53 PM

Sub Date 16610

SubDiver · 19 June 2008, 02:01 PM

Date without question. For people like me who can never remember the date, it comes in handy everyday.

gtbike72 · 19 June 2008, 02:47 PM

SS Sub Date

Trurolexer · 20 June 2008, 04:45 AM

Subdate with GREEN Bezel for me. What they called it?

Submariner...Chanel...Hermes...Dior...Oh yes LV!!!

kelly56 · 20 June 2008, 07:20 AM

I had the same decision to make three months ago. I went with the Sub Date and never regretted it. Don't go with the Sub No Date solely for the lower price, you'll be sorry.

gmh1013 · 19 June 2008, 02:48 PM

sub date!

2careless · 19 June 2008, 03:27 PM

I'm partial now, no date please :-)

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 June 2008, 12:57 AM

For a great everyday Rolex I'd opt for the SS Sub Date.

As stated, having a date feature is nice.

timetravel125 · 20 June 2008, 01:03 AM

My vote goes to Sub Date!

puffnmo · 20 June 2008, 01:12 AM

I like the no-date. A classic clean look.

Another thing is that I just see way too many Sub Date's around. They are iconic and fabulous, but it's like women with a Louis Vuitton bag. There are too many out there, and they are nothing special any more. JMO, Larry.

topcat30093 · 20 June 2008, 04:33 AM

No question it would be a S/S Sub date.
