Sub date vs. Sub no-date

[Karbo]

For me the REAL sub is the ND version...
If you need a date then go sea dweller, otherwise 5513,14060 or 114060
I don't understand the sub date market positioning ��

I just picked up a date version.

I think this is a very personal decision. I don't wear a suit to work since I'm in law enforcement so 90 percent of the time I'll be using the watch in a casual setting off duty. IF I had a job where suits were the norm I would probably go ND.

I know most purest will say an orginal sub is a ND... But I think that when I see the cyclops on a watch it says Rolex. Again these are just my personal opinions. Really how can you go wrong either way!

no date for sure...i'd like to see the 114060 as a 2 liner....now THAT would be sharp

I personally wouldn't like not having a date function, so I vote with date (as I have one myself).

[breitlings]

For me no date plus a gmt

This.

Also, the clean look of the 114060 is truly captivating.

[kamek]

Note: I'm never good with knowing the date, and as my daily wearer, I actually do use the date function!

I like the 14060 two line, no date the best. Just something about the minimalism of it that makes it look really good.

Really can't go wrong IMO

This is a good answer. I never thought of it like that.

All you need...

It's the only sub that has no date so if it has any appeal, it's your only chance to get a no date sub. Personally, I got the no date because my tt sub has a date and I do like the cleaner look.

As mentioned, there's no wrong answer. The Sub is certainly closer to the original reference and, as stated, has a cleaner look. If a date function is something you don't feel necessary it's a great all around reference.

When I purchased my 14060m 11 years ago, I initially wanted the date version but finances were a little short. I quickly realized my love of the ND Sub due to it's simplicity, cleanliness, and history. I've enjoyed it so much, this is the only Rolex I know...by choice.

[busytimmy]

Once again, for one and only go date, otherwise Sub is best!

[gwozhog]

I honestly hate having to mess with Dates on Automatics because I don't wear them enough and find myself winding them twice a week. Its just one less thing to fuss with. I have had more compliments with my date less sub than I ever had with my dated Sub for some reason too. Usually people ask what kind of watch is that because it isn't recognizable due to the missing cyclops

[Jack T]

It's a watch, not a calendar ;-)

[braningan]

No date for me

[AF_Rob]

I'd go ND... A little more variety from what you have.

[Soulfultofu]

went with the SubC ND 3 days ago. can't stop looking at it! ultimately, it's your watch, your choice!

[Mrbrianau]

Can't go wrong with either.

[Afghanvet]

Tough crowd, eh??

[997.2]

If you're going SS... Gotta go no date. JMHO. Although I do miss knowing the date sometimes.

And this is why you don't work for Rolex I'm sure the Sub Date outsells the Submariner by a long way

[JAB]

Just picked up this 2 line Sub. Couldn't be happier. I don't miss the date function from my last watch at all.

[2106]

No date. Perfect symmetry and so clean.

[cjohns]

ND,,timeless classic...that keeps time !
