Wow this is alot of SS Subs 363,294 to be exact divided by 3 (being no of years since Subs were announced in Q4 2020) = 121,098, now if Rolex produces 1.2 million watch a year we can conclude that circa 10% are SS Subs.

Honestly the date function is the only complication I use the watch for.

I find the date function to be incredibly useful (especially during work days during the week) but with that being said I prefer my no date sub, over the ones I have with the date window.

Sub date vs no-date
Quote:
That’s not a lot of watches considering US population is 330 million and EU population is 450 million. Trying to do math in my head without a calculator here, but the amount of Submariners produced during that time is roughly .03% of the population of US and EU. I’m not even factoring in the Asian market. This explains why the demand far exceeds supply, and it’s so difficult to acquire one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

there are over 131.43 Mil households in the US. 37.1% earn over $100,000. 48.76 Mil households earn over $100,000, and let's assume only one household out of 100 households want to buy a Sub a year which is a low estimate. That's 487,605 Submariners a year. Make it 2 out of 100 and it's 975,210 this is only the US, then there is the rest of the world. |

So, if you look at the dial it actually says Oyster Perpetual Date, then way below that it just says Submariner, just like the no date version. The date version is the Sub imagined by the vast majority when they hear the word, hence it makes much more sense to say Sub and no date Sub. |

I am now, as of tonight, firmly on the side of the Submariner ND.....

My choice was the ND, love the symmetry, but I also want a bluesy
