Hi guys. Looking for some help. I have no need for a date on my watch so just asking purely on esthetics and resale is not important. Which do you prefer, Sub date or no-date? I’m having a hard time decided and curious to hear some different lines of reasoning. Thanks!

No date.

If you have no need for a date, no need to spend the extra money. Also, I love the perfect symmetry of the 124060.

Sub!

No date, just because I don't like the cyclops. If the Sub date was like the Sea Dweller I'm all in but still, when I look at my calendar in the morning, I can remember what day it is all day long.

No Date, because of clean look, the original, I was always a fan of date but lately I’ve been leaning towards the no date model.

Cheers,

I had a no date and the dial is very clean and symmetrical. You also dont have to worry about AM/PM. However I did miss the date window so I went back to the cyclops.

There is no wrong choice, however, the Sub is the original and stayed true to it's looks/function for the longest time of any model. The Sub Date is fine, but it doesn't have that clean look of an original Sub.

1 Rolex watch - sub date. 2 + Rolex watches - sub and others with the cyclops date. Gotta have at least one with the cyclops, it is what makes Rolex iconic.

It's no wonder it made the book cover.

Almost completely agree!

I had the choice and went with the date as my first luxury piece. Of course I thought it would be my only but I have added an Explorer and I think Sub Date + Explorer is the perfect 2 Rolex collection.

I ended up covering my desire for a non date diver with a couple BB58’s!

Both. 16610 for the date. 5513 for that no-date dial symmetry

Sub. Cleaner. Perfection.

If we're talking about stainless steel, black dial Submariners, I prefer it without a date.

If we're talking about a blue dial, town-tone Submariner (126613LB), then that's a different story altoghter. I'd love one of those. That might be my next watch, and that comes with a date...

Prefer no date. More of a purist.

Between Sub and no date I’d go Sub.

CarlOver · Today, 12:45 PM

The clean look without the date is so very nice. Not that it makes much difference, but that watch at night it lume perfection. Don’t know if it’s true, but it’s been said that the no date to date ratio is about 1:10.
