In the beginning there was no date and Rolex said " let there be date" and it was good, yes very good.

Rashid.bk · 20 November 2012, 03:23 PM

I need a date, don't really like the cyclops. Got the SD, problem solved.
For me, I just can't pay $7.5k to just tell time. Yes, I said it, "just to tell time". I don't have a limited memory either, but I use the date function during the day about half as much as the time function.

There is a certain allure to the nd sub's symmetrical dial which is beautiful, but no date no sale.

there is NO benefit of having a SUB with a date at 40 meters underwater

slvrbulletv6 · 20 November 2012, 04:13 PM

I'm a forgetful person. When it comes to dating agreements, checks, and/or making appointments, it is nice to just look at my watch to confirm what today's date is. (or maybe I'm just making an excuse to just stare at my watch....)

True, but how often do people dive with their submariners...

Surefire · 20 November 2012, 04:24 PM

Its more of a personal preference actually.. Some may want a Date but cant stand the cyclops. Some people just simply loved the date with cyclops ang everything. And some just simply adore the simplicitu of a non-date.

Andad · 20 November 2012, 05:17 PM

I wear my Sub every work day.
I just shout out 'whats the date'. There is usually always someone there.
My Pam 231, Speedmaster, Milgauss, Daytona, etc have no date - I also like wearing them.

Htab · 20 November 2012, 05:20 PM

I personally need the date on my daily wearer which is a 116610ln

ecsub44 · 20 November 2012, 05:26 PM

Kaylesdad · 20 November 2012, 05:27 PM

I personally prefer no date even though I have watches with date. As I. Rotate my watches between Daytona, ND Sub I don't have to hassle with changing date each rotation.

George Ab · 20 November 2012, 05:32 PM

The dive extension is a much better design on the Sub date. The solid end links of the Sub date are also preferred by many.

Both watches are comfortable, but the Submariner is a tad less thick then the Sub date.

I assume you're referring to the non-ceramic versions of the Sub and Sub Date. The ceramic versions of the Sub and Sub Date have exactly the same bracelet, Glidelock clasp, and the same case thickness.

No date is better and more cost effective if youre a drunk and dont know or care what day it is anyway most of the time.

Hey why pick on drunks? The guys & gals that need a date will never be happy with a Sub Speedie or Daytona. Some just need it. As for me if a watch has a date fine if not fine. One of my daily watches is the SD nice clean dial.
I have had three Sub Dates two TT and one 18kt all where bluesy.

chris2000 · 20 November 2012, 09:47 PM

I had a Sub LV before I had to sadly sell it but I have just replaced it with a Sub C with "No Date",as I think the look of the watch without a date is better looking but I have to admit I keep looking at it for the date. I will either get over it or strap a calender to my other wrist.

TimeToGo · 20 November 2012, 09:55 PM

If you are dining alone, a regular sub will do.

If you have a date.... then you wear one!

DUH!

wohlfecc · 20 November 2012, 09:59 PM

The no date version is ten times easier to set, if you wear it off and on.

www777 · 20 November 2012, 10:04 PM

I like the clean look of the no date.

Don't you believe it thats why we get so many questions on TRF,the net is great for Rolex hype and quite a bit of Rolex miss-information.

Alain Lee · 20 November 2012, 11:36 PM

Date for me. very useful in my line of work

It's one of those things that "if you gotta ask, you just may not get it"

What he said.

No wrong answer at all to this one, just person preference.

+1 exactly why I chose my watch.

This thread is funny, I know what the date is without having to look for it..........and it stays the same number all day!

I'm sure you guys who have the date on your watches have a look even though you actually know what the date is?

Joey_V · 21 November 2012, 08:12 AM

I need a date for work and I prefer a date on my watch.

If I only had 1 watch - it HAS to have a date.

If I had multiple watches (like I do now) - then I can live with a couple of watches without a date as long as I have watch with a date somewhere in my collection.

Brenngun · 21 November 2012, 08:38 AM

Youthful indiscretions affecting my short term memory capacity have necessitated a date function.

SALTY · 21 November 2012, 08:56 AM

If I were to have but one watch - it would have a date. With more than one, I have the luxury of enjoying the cleaner lines, lineage to the originals and, at least IMO, a more "tool-watch" aura. I enjoy the daylights out of my 114060M.

I'm not a big fan of the cyclops but I do like the date on my Sub and would want a date on any watch I own from this point on.
