For those Daytona owners out there, is the lack of a date a problem for any of you?

dddrees · 15 January 2012, 11:14 PM

Besides the Daytona, I have a Speedmaster Pro, and a Pam 000. The lack of a Date is not an issue for me.

kkwn98 · 15 January 2012, 11:32 PM

No.

TSW · 15 January 2012, 11:33 PM

No.

HL65 · 15 January 2012, 11:35 PM

NO!!! Who cares--I think I am set with my iPhone, iPad, iMac, day planner etc. Today is the 15th right??

nauticajoe · 16 January 2012, 12:08 AM

Nope.

no. i actually prefer the look of the watch without the date.one of my favorite timepieces to wear.

bigwatchman · 16 January 2012, 12:32 AM

You get used to it. I have always had a date watch, and my Sub ND doesn't. One month in, its never been an issue.

Art 1 · 16 January 2012, 12:37 AM

No.

Mosco · 16 January 2012, 12:39 AM

This question should be posed to those who do not own a Daytona, IMO

VetteBandit · 16 January 2012, 12:39 AM

No issue here.

Alcan · 16 January 2012, 12:47 AM

Lack of a date function isn't really a problem on my non-date chronos. I just stop the sweep second hand on the minute mark that coincides with the date. Has to be advanced once daily, but no biggie.

That's a great idea!

Exactly what I do.

Works like a charm.

Tool · 16 January 2012, 12:56 AM

Not at all. The Daytona still remains a classic Rolex icon.

straighttea · 16 January 2012, 02:38 AM

to be honest, when i wear the daytona, I missed the date function on my other watches, but like others say, you will get use to it

B. Doggy · 16 January 2012, 02:46 AM

Depends on if it's going to be your everyday watch. If it is, then a date function is a must IMHO.

Lion · 16 January 2012, 02:56 AM

No.....

Keeperoftime · 16 January 2012, 03:12 AM

Only when I need the date. In short, I look down at the watch and say "Oh Ya" and pull out my phone. It would be nice but I think the design of the Daytona benefits from the absence of a date aperature.

TheVTCGuy · 16 January 2012, 03:30 AM

Yes, I miss the date.

Sorry to be the only one, but he asked!!!!

YES, I miss having the convenience of a date feature on my watch.

There, I said it!

johnny80s · 16 January 2012, 03:45 AM

Not at all

WhatTheDeuce · 16 January 2012, 03:51 AM

Not really, just require a second motion. Look at wrist, look at phone. :)

Al1988 · 16 January 2012, 04:00 AM

Not a problem at all for me.

lady yachtmaster · 16 January 2012, 05:04 AM

Don't miss it at all

hsfrank · 16 January 2012, 05:07 AM

Nope. I think it would ruin the look

bgriz · 16 January 2012, 05:44 AM

Nope. I actually know the date when I wake up every day.

herbie911 · 16 January 2012, 07:32 AM

I don't missed the date function as I tend to wear my Daytona when I go out for a spirited drive every sunday! Unless Rolex increase the dial diameter to match that of a Royal Oak Offshore, the dial will look too busy with a date!

My main watch is the Explorer 1 which I wear to work and not once I miss the date function. Even when I wear the PP 5127g, I don't even bother to adjust the date!
