Submariner or Submariner Date. The definitive survey.

I'm not just talking about the current references, I'm talking about the Submariners of all times.

Which one do you want? The Submariner, more faithful to the original or the Submariner Date, more practical?


5313 / 1680




14060 / 16610




114060 / 116610

I want the date. But I want the date less than I dislike the Cyclops. So that means it's a (no date) Sub for me.

I like to have the date and I like the cyclops, so an easy choice for me.

I sold my Sub Date to get one without the date. I wear it a lot more.

I prefer the ND version and enjoy the balanced dial and appearance. I also own a Hulk and do not mind the date.

I prefer the aesthetics of the classic Sub, it's a lot cleaner and the symmetry is nice...but I use the date function too much both at home and at work, so the Date is the one I'd add to my collection. .

Up until about a year ago I would have said no date but the date has grown on me more so the cyclops so I would choose date now.

For me the date function is important, is more easy to me check the date on my wristwatch than in my smartphone.

Oddly enough, I prefer a 14060 to 16610. However I prefer 116610 to 114060. So honestly, it depends.

Got my first Submariner Date in 1979. I was completely enamored with the look of the thick crystal and especially the cyclops. I can not imagine wearing the watch without the date!
