Gold Submariner No Date

Hey

Does anyone have pics or know anyone who has taken a gold submariner and modified it to be a no date model?

it wouldn't look right because the print on the dial is white not to mention the WG markers.

Could only do it with a ceramic version. Older style the dial is smaller and would fall through rehaut.

Wow Eddy. You're amazing. I like this a lot better than the Platona or DD Pt. That blue dial blows every other blue dial way out of the water to never be heard from or seen again. This is a no nonsense watch that says, "I know what I do. I tell time and I do it beautifully!"

That would look killer. As long as we're doing this, I'll have one in platinum, ice blue dial and navy bezel, and call it a day.

Gotta say that the no-date simplicity and the pm bling goes very well together

I personally like the date complication. Have used it many times over the last 20 years.
