I'm in the "No date, No way" camp. The only thing I like about it is the red lettering. Other than that, it's all yours.

What's wrong with 'rolex' around the inside of the bezel and how would that make it any less of a 'tool' status??

I don't understand the opposition to RolexRolexRolex around the chapter ring. I have two DJ's with it and also the wife's. It is not that noticeable unless you want to use a strong light and loupe.

I also like the fact that the serial number is incorporated in the ring and it is much easier to check without taking off the bracelet.

I would buy one like that in an instant!! A no date Sub with the maxi dial and the Red Font for "Submariner" would be perfect!! Even better if it had the new ceramic bezel, supercase, and the new bracelet and clasp, in all brushed steel. And the new Blue Hairspring internally! Can't wait! The Chapter ring, BTW, is hardly noticable in person or when you are wearing.

No I would not buy it, I have a SD and a LV Sub. No date on a watch it a waste of a watch for me, I need a date function.
