The last couple of years, suddenly, the nomenclature has reversed. People are now calling the Sub a Sub no date, and the Sub Date a Sub. Exactly backwards from Rolex model names and introductions 50+ years ago.
New enthusiasts are bastardizing one of the greatest watches made, and slowly changing it's historic name to the dust bins and replacing it with the moniker "no date"
That's the trigger for true Sub fans. "Look, he's wearing a No Date 114060." No, he's not, he's wearing a Sub 114060, there is no confusion here.
