With current shortages in all stainless sports watches. I found a black sub no date at my local dealer. I really want one with date but can sacrifice it if need be. What are your thoughts. Should I wait or make the purchase as the have it in stock?? Can I sell with out being to much upside down in the near future to upgrade?

Matty99365 · 23 September 2018, 06:12 AM

If you like it get it.

I’ve got one and love it.

RHIII · 23 September 2018, 06:15 AM

I prefer the 114060 over every other modern sub — even the others I wear...

So — yes.

Wait for the watch you want.

supersam80 · 23 September 2018, 06:23 AM

Unless you love love love it, I would wait

Odie-r · 23 September 2018, 06:27 AM

Its a beautiful piece. But if you want a date, just keep waiting. They will pop up.

Agree with this.

AK797 · 23 September 2018, 06:31 AM

I'd get it and then make a decision if the date comes in.

dddrees · 23 September 2018, 06:32 AM

If you have to ask then maybe it’s not the one for you.

a_watch · 23 September 2018, 06:32 AM

If you really like the date version more, you should wait. It's best to buy something that you really want.

This.

I was going to buy a Sub Date, but when I saw a No date at the AD, I really had to have it. When I'm reading news on my IPad before work, I set my bezel to the current date and I'm good for the day!

That’s a really good idea!

i wear my no date way more than date

Juclaq · 23 September 2018, 06:48 AM

Both the date and no date subs are great. Just make sure it is the watch that you want

Yes. You should get ONLY WHAT YOU want and if you have to wait, then so be it.

I have been waiting over a year myself

for a specific item, and waiting for something currently out of stock is just a part of today's Rolex production and distribution.

Be patient and eventually you will be rewarded.

Maybe you will end up preferring this to the date version...for me it looks much more aesthetic.

Rocketman39 · 23 September 2018, 07:08 AM

Only buy a Sub No Date if you want one. I have owned my 5513 for over 50 years. It is the Rolex Rocket Ride for me. No frills,No Bling. Just the Basic Rolex. My Hulk and GMT never get a second glance in an AD or Boutique. Sales people have never Failed to comment on my Basic Plane Old Sub. I have had numerous offers to buy from the folks that notice !

It ain't easy bein me

slillestrand · 23 September 2018, 07:10 AM

I had a date...now I have the no date...I prefer the clean look of the crystal

My date sub would get kinda smudgy around the date window....prefer it clean.

Its a sports model...have your dress watch with a date.

Date

travisb · 23 September 2018, 07:13 AM

If you're wanting the date model I'd wait it out.
I prefer the 114060 personally.

enjoythemusic · 23 September 2018, 07:16 AM

Wait for what you want.. I was just offered one from my dealer with date and past cuz I have a Hulk.

If you have to ask, then you are not ready. That being said, the ND Sub is a very cool watch.

So true. Figure our your goals and values first then enjoy the purchase.

Have a good one.

Nikrnic · 23 September 2018, 07:47 AM

Either one is a good buy, but get the one you enjoy looking at. No question for me, 114060 without a doubt.

I purposely chose the Submariner and am happy with that choice.

D O C · 23 September 2018, 07:51 AM

Wait for the date.

hbombkid · 23 September 2018, 07:53 AM

Wait for what you want. I have done that in the past buying something not completely sold on. You will like it for a while but down the road you will want what you want and then do it while losing a couple bucks in the process.

Geaux Tigers · 23 September 2018, 07:54 AM

I got the date (both were avilable), but need the readers on to actually see the date! Ha! Love both watches and can’t go wrong either way. If you want the date I’d wait for it.
