I just bought my first Rolex in March and the date was on the “must have” list.

Date with cyclops for sure, gives it a little pop.

Depends on the model. Some look better with it and some without. I tailor my watch to whether I need a date function that day or not.

Notforme · 11 April 2021, 01:19 AM

No date for me with the exception being a GMT.

Aircraftman · 11 April 2021, 01:40 AM

No date!
1 I always know the date
2 I love the symmetry of the dial without the date window
3 I do not like the look of the Cyclops

None of my Rolex watches have date function

jatco · 11 April 2021, 01:43 AM

One of each..but only have 1 with date.

IamJacky · 11 April 2021, 01:47 AM

My very first Rolex is a Datejust II and there's no going back with having the date function for me.

JerBear · 11 April 2021, 01:49 AM

I prefer the date but as you say, that excludes the Daytona. So I make exceptions :)

This!!

Gerardus · 11 April 2021, 01:52 AM

Date for me! But I really love the looks of my BB58 (and also the 14060/M) that's why this exception.

Computantis · 11 April 2021, 01:55 AM

Date was necessary for the practicality of it. Especially in my line of work I need to know the date 100 times a day. I also despise having to use my phone to check the time or date.
Symmetry of non-date watches is nice, but I don’t care for it.

Date.. Im too lazy to look at phone!

Fredcohiba · 11 April 2021, 03:19 AM

I have both, the no date being the Milgauss. When I need to know the date and look at the watch only to remember it doesn’t have the date, I’m a little disappointed.

Gab27 · 11 April 2021, 03:22 AM

Strongly prefer no date. I like how it's clean dial and well-proportioned. I dislike how the cyclops distorts the look when viewed off-axis.

tom1969 · 11 April 2021, 03:22 AM

The week number (1-53) is the only complication I'd really have use for. I'd love a watch with only time and week.

Fred48 · 11 April 2021, 03:29 AM

No date
No ugly cyclops to destroy symmetry

JJK · 11 April 2021, 03:30 AM

I just retired - who cares what day it is ? :)

Robert Bruce · 11 April 2021, 03:31 AM

Date with magnifier.

Krash · 11 April 2021, 03:40 AM

No date of course.

In general I like having a date. However no date is ok too depending on the watch. Speedmaster/Daytona look good without a date. Originally I thought I’d really miss having it, and I do catch myself checking my wrist for the date sometimes when wearing the Speedmaster, but it’s not a huge deal and my error gives me an excuse to look at the watch lol.

Justinmg · 11 April 2021, 04:02 AM

For a everyday watch I have to have the date, but I’d make an exception for an explorer and speedy.

Oyster Sauce · 11 April 2021, 04:05 AM

No preference - love the clean look of no date, love having the convenient function of a date (I’m even okay with the cyclops!

). Have both, love both.

speedbird · 11 April 2021, 04:10 AM

/\ exactly. I am sure ‘both’ is the default TRF answer

iTreelex · 11 April 2021, 04:25 AM

Date. There are only a handful of Rolex without a date.

Slyy · 11 April 2021, 04:27 AM

No date

thefollandgnat · 11 April 2021, 05:14 AM

I've an Exp but I do miss my ExpII and DJ dates when wearing it. A day complication would have been useful during lockdown. Every day seemed like the weekend.

Ed99 · 11 April 2021, 05:26 AM

You got to have a Date + Cyclops. Isn't that a must for Rolex watches.

slus · 11 April 2021, 05:28 AM

My preference is a date, without a Cyclops. Slim pickings from Rolex but Tudor plays along.

When I asked to be put on the mythical list for a new Submariner, I asked for a no date this time.

No date for symmetry, simplicity, easy to set. I know, very limited Rolex options, I'll take the first new Explorer I see at an AD!
