Rolex SubC date or no date as beater?

I'm down to a Rolex SubC no date (114060) and a Rolex SubC with date (116610LV).

I consider myself a Patek guy rather than a Rolex guy so I thought I'd post my poll/question here to get your take given this is meant to be a beater rather than an aspirational Rolex.

This watch would primarily be used for pool and beach both at home (Southern California) and on vacation, as well as any event where my current daily wear, a 5712/1A, is too delicate for me to want to wear (helping with my son's little league baseball practice, playing golf, etc.). It would also be the ONLY watch I would take on vacation as I don't like bringing multiple watches on vacations.

My Panerai has a polished case and a leather strap, so not a pool or a beach watch, and is too large for active wear. My Bell & Ross lacks the gravitas of a Rolex for evening wear (such as on vacation when I only take one watch) and is also large and not an in-house movement/not as fine of a watch. Looking to keep these pieces for variety, but add a Rolex for the reasons stated.

My current watches are:

Patek 5712/1A
Patek 5035g
Jaeger LeCoutre Master Moon
Panerai 359 on leather strap (has date)
Bell & Ross BR01-92 on rubber strap (no date)

p.s. Sorry for the duplicate thread, I forgot to add the poll the first time
