Date, I use it all the time. Surprised to see I made the poll an even 50/50 split at 146-146. I expected Date to be ahead by a bit.

Cheers, appreciate your comment.

Makes me feel even better about getting it for him. Did you get yours when you graduated?

Sub 100% for me

Sjmoore11 · 18 May 2020, 01:08 PM

I traded a 14060 for a 1680 which is my first vintage watch. I love it, and find the date quite useful. But I keep thinking about trading for a 5513! I voted Sub.

ajas · 18 May 2020, 01:53 PM

I like both and would like to have both in my collection. So far I have Sub Date and this would be my first choice.

Ptaha67 · 18 May 2020, 04:38 PM

Say no to a date if you're married. Date if you're not.

Date! Adds another function and checkbox, those who own dates will tel you they actually use it a lot, I use the date function regularly throughout the day ( we are getting out and forgetful

peterpl · 18 May 2020, 08:01 PM

ALWAYS choose the date model. You will regret it eventually.

Coming from experience.

zion_rasta · 18 May 2020, 08:13 PM

How people notice Rolex:
1. Bracelet
2. Cyclops
3. Crown on dial

+1 for date Sub

A few years before that, but once he knew I actually was going to graduate and make something of myself...LOL.

Now, I'm looking for one of my own so I too can pass on the tradition once I have kids and a family.

Aberdein · 19 May 2020, 03:55 AM

With date.

thesharkfactor · 19 May 2020, 05:47 AM

Both are equally fantastic. You have a choice of either:

The best watch in the world.. ever.

or..

The best watch in the world.. ever.. with date.

What's not amazing?

Elc · 19 May 2020, 05:50 AM

From a purely aesthetic point of view, no date. However cyclops is classic Rolex and something I use every single day, so date for me!

mgsooner · 19 May 2020, 05:54 AM

Thinking about signing up for some dummy accounts just so I can vote multiple times

smym18 · 19 May 2020, 07:01 AM

I’m still surprised by these results. I’m sure there are people with other colored subs voting, who I assume would vote date, which should give date an obvious advantage. I wonder if people just see “Submariner” then see “Date” and assume it says “No” in front of it and end up voting for the wrong Sub.

Surely I can be way off, but based on the amount of photos posted here between the LN, Hulk, Blue/WG, and TTs, I would have expected Sub Date to be well ahead.

GradyPhilpott · 19 May 2020, 07:49 AM

14060M for me. I've never considered anything else.

DCheeta · 19 May 2020, 01:19 PM

My entire Rolex history has been Subs (with no date). My first was a 5513, then a 14060, and now a 114060. I did dabble in Sub Dates for a brief time with a 1680, but it didn’t stick.

Obviously my vote is Sub.

ttee · 19 May 2020, 01:29 PM

If it is an everyday watch, Sub Date is better. But if it is just one of my watch, I’ll go for Sub.

doramas · 20 May 2020, 02:13 AM

I already have a DJ41 so im gonna be getting a ND Sub.

illiguy · 20 May 2020, 05:43 AM

Every poll I’ve seen on this age-old topic is close, but with the Submariner always being more popular than the Submariner Date. I attribute this to self-selection of TRF members, as we are more of a WIS crowd who tend to gravitate towards the origin/purity of the Submariner.

If we opened this up to general public (non-TRF), the Submariner Date would win in a landslide.

Agreed 100%. I had both. First was because I wanted classic. Traded for date. Much much happier.

The definitive submariner? Well it's gotta be the original sub, so no date.

I agree, I have a 5513, but I also wear a GMT 1675, I'm fortunate as both are very cool watches.
