I'd go ND - the ceramic makes the watch so shiny already, and I find the cyclops is just another thing for light to catch/ bounce off and make it even more shiny.

Came here to say this. If only watch; a date is the jam. If it's party of a collection, the Sub is a terrific piece.

That's where I am. A ceramic GMT II and an ExpII Polar both sport the cyclops, so a a SubC would be my addition if in this position.

There is no contest here. Sub date always wins. Primary function of a watch is to tell time and the addition of a date adds functionality and that’s not a debate. There will be a time when it’s needed and if not now definitely in retirement. One can debate the looks/appearance aspect but that should not be the only consideration and the watch from 6 feet away looks the same date or no date

Date, especially if you plan to wear it daily.

The cyclops has never bothered me.

Go for the 43 mm sea dweller. Nothing is cooler than the red letters

This. I have an SD43 and would choose the Sub next. I love having a date, but I’m not a fan of the cyclops.

My first Rolex was a Submariner date in the 70s and so the Submariner no date doesn’t look right to me without the date and cyclops!!

I like the date, but I'm also a hardcore cyclops person as I think it's classic Rolex in my eyes

There is only one Submariner the 124060, everything else has a date and just isn't as nice (others may disagree).
