No Date Sub Ruins Everything...

[vassosent]

My advice : Do nothing. You have a great collection. The 216570 is the sportiest and tough rolex. Moon watch is the most iconic and your Sub is a Sub. Don't flipp anything. Maybe in the future ad a basic Panerai 44mm

Had speedmaster, avenger, JLC master control, etc. Sold all of them as it always went back to 114060. My blue dial fluted jubilee datejust 41 is a PERFECT complement.

That would do it for me...

[GoingPlaces]

You're just "leveling up" your collection. I'd sell speedmaster and see how the explorer feels after a few months. Sometimes watches will grow on you. Personally I'd keep the explorer as a beater and add a DJ later.

[macrowatch]

Sub no date is so hot. Would almost be tempted to want a TT RG version...

[JRell]

My only advice if you get the datejust 41, don’t buy it just to complement the 114060 to get a date. See them in person. The dial selection is key. I had a white and black before the blue. The blue was a heart stopper. The black was not different enough for me to not wear the 114060. The white while nice, felt too summer only. I like the rodium, but to me was not different enough from the sub. The blue is best of both worlds - sometimes looks black but in different light it pops. So fascinating of a dial it makes me forget about the 114060. But when I put the 114060 back on, I also appreciate it more in different ways. Just my 2 cents. That being said, think silver is a nice option as well. But 100% jubilee to give it a different feel vs the sub.

Sounds like you’ve found your watch nirvana...congratulations

DavidSW sells all he can get his hands on for top dollar, so must be pretty popular. Was happy to find my 114060 at an AD two years ago for MSRP, and it’s my only Rolex. The only other watch I wear is a Scurfa quartz ‘beater’ when I’m doing projects around the house.
I’m looking at 214270 now to add, but wondering if I’d ever wear it much because I like the 114060 and it’s so comfortable.

[Calatrava r]

Perhaps go with just the Sub and never look back. It is always right, anytime, any place.

[JebM]

Maybe get a GMT... or a sub date to go with your 114060 whenever they come out with the update. Speedy is cool but at least personally I don’t think I’ve ever used a chronograph function.

I think that the three you have are suitable for the purposes you list.

You already sold the OP, which is a nice dressy watch, but the Explorer does double duty very well.

If you must have a DJ for dressy purposes, I suggest a steel, 36mm model on a jubilee with the bezel of your choice. Don't worry about what you think it looks like on your wrist size-wise. Everyone else will appreciate the elegance of the watch and your bold confidence in your masculinity.

Did he say he worries about what others think it looks like? Sorry if I missed that. 36 or 41 a personal choice, either works get the one you like most. I just thought he was looking at DJ41.

With all due respect, I was addressing the OP.

Same here but if you buy a 116610LN you will double your enjoyment. I did that with no regrets.

[campfire]

I go through the same OP. Lots of nice watches out there and I can get caught up in getting them. But then realize, I can only wear one watch and too lazy to establish and keep to a rotation schedule.

So these days, I really ask myself, when will I actually wear that (potential new) watch? I get so caught up in the hunt for a new cool watch and realize, it's either redundant for the use case I already have covered.

Take this for what it's worth though as for decades I only had a Sub.

[SearChart]

Just sell everything and only wear the sub then.

Exactly. Yesterday there was a new thread where a member asked if he should buy a Sub Date or Sub No Date and today, presto, we get a new thread stating that the Sub No Date is the greatest watch in existence. What a coincidence.

[acheronsgrief]

I have this exact feeling with my RG Daytona. I put all my other watches away and haven’t even thought about them let alone looked at them in weeks (Dd 36, RG YM, sub date and black dial SS Daytona). I told myself that if I don’t think about them at all for another month, I’m just going to sell them.

[dummykid]

I love my 114060 and I think I would get another one if it comes with new movement.

[TruthBalance]

The Sub No Date and DJ41 make a great combo and cover most situations.

[Burlington]

Yes I’m in the same camp.

I own the watch I want the most and until I discover something to wear every day in its place, have no interest in building a collection to gather dust.

Next watch I buy will be as a gift.

I have in the collection 116710 BLNR. Nine months ago I lined up for a black Submariner with a date to pair with my Batman. During this time, I repeatedly struggled with the thoughts of whether to rewrite the order for that without a date. I was even in my case with my AD. Unfortunately, this substitution will queue from the beginning. And Sub without date is so pure in its simplicity.

In terms of convenience, I think that GMT II is much more convenient than Submariner. This is of course my opinion in this matter.

Interesting. I have a 114060 and thinking at some point to get on the Batman waiting list. But I THINK if I had a Batman I would not want the sub date, as it already had a date, gmt function, and cooler with the blue. I would want the 114060 as I would already have the date function. From a collection standpoint, just to have a sub in the collection. I think we make scenarios in our head to justify getting more...hence we are human!

You are right about what you wrote, but I don't want to queue again. I decided to pick up what I ordered (when I finally get a call from AD) and make it if I can switch to a Sub without a date. I am writing it now, but during my thoughts my thoughts may evolve three more times.

Yep smart move...nice to have options!

I'm a bit late to this thread. But wanted to share my thoughts and suggest try and get the nodate as I have just recently gone through this.

I already had both the BLRO and BLNR.

Then I passed on the sub date and picked up the 114060 nodate. As others have pointed out, I do rotate as it feels different enough for me. I like the simple, symmetrical no Cyclops look on certain occasions. Its wears a tad slimmer aswell. But both equally comfortable. I do wish the GMTs had glidelock though.

Just my 2 cents....see if you can twist your AD to swap the sub date for a no date.

During this time, I managed to buy Suba no date second-hand. Unfortunately, the lack of a date made my work life difficult and I sold it quickly. I'm still waiting for the new sub with the date.

[Vetracer]

I couldn’t get past the fact that you sold your Seiko SKX’s.
