Best no-date Rolex options?
I have realized that I don't like watches with dates as not only do I not generally need a date but I find it annoying to have to change it when I don't wear a watch for a while. No date is so much more convenient, I just pop it on, set the time, then go about my day.
However, this of course limits my options. I already have: -OP 39 white (114300) -Explorer 40mm (224370) -Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV Options I am interested in: -Submariner No Date (124060) -Daytona Black (126500LN) -OP 39 Rhodium (114300) Are there any other good no-date options I am missing? |

That’s a good list.
I like watches with and without dates, just depends on my mood and the reference. |

Is it the date window or the cyclops that puts you off?

Personally, I love the Submariner the way it is. I hope Rolex never messes with it |

He said it was the inconvenience of setting dates. I could sort of relate. The more watches you have, the more it becomes sort of a pain. I’m even considering a winder. Having watches without a date is nice. My Submariner and Speedmaster have always been special, but the fact that they don’t have a date function makes them extra special to me. By the way, it’s hard to beat the Submariner 124060 when it comes to a no date watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What about an older vintage air king? No date and a dressier option.
I would say the newer airking might be similar to your explorer 40 |

Nice trio you already have!
When I think " no date", the first watch that comes to mind is the Sub. It's also my favorite of any of the no date options. |

Out of obtainable ones, Sub No Date 100%
Then there is the 1908 series as well, if we talk Rolex universe. |

I am not wanting Rolex to get rid of the date, just add more colour options for no date models. A blue and rhodium would be great.

The Submariner ND hands down for me. An iconic and classic watch that has been updated over the years. The dial has perfect balance without the date wheel. My all time favorite and the watch that gets the most wrist time.

The "no date" Submariner is the closest thing to watch perfection in the known universe - and I don't even own one.

I always thought it was silly to not want a watch because of the inconvenience of setting the date, but I admit it is nice to wind my Daytona, set the time and go.
As for your question, I think your collection has a Sub sized hole in it |

I think a no date sub would round out your collection nicely.

I have both the Op39 Grape and the OP41 Green both very classic and at the same time a little bit unusual with the colours.
