No Regret
I bought my first Rolex about 3 months ago. A brand new SS no date sub and I absolutely love it. However, for some reason the last couple of weeks I started to feel a twinge of regret for not buying a watch with a date. However, after surfing some of the old threads on this forum about the ND sub and looking at how classic and clean looking this watch is, I have come to the conclusion that I made the perfect choice for me and have no regrets buying this iconic piece. I plan on keeping this puppy for the rest of my life and passing it down with pride. Boy it feels good to get that little devil off my shoulder telling me I made the wrong choice. What the hell was I thinking?

Dan, you are gonna wanna get yourself a EXP-II for a backup, then you will have a Date & GMT function along with the perfect divers' watch! Also a watch to wear when the subs' gotta go in for servicing. I own both, you should too.

I almost bought a non-date Sub but in the end opted for the dated version. No regrets at all in doing so but I agree that the clean simple dial of the non-date is very appealing. However, my next Rolex will be (I hope) a vintage Sub 5513 which is a non-date watch. Hopefully when I have obtained one I will have satisfied my current Rolex desires! After that only God knows where my watchful eye might wander lol

The sea dweller is just as clean looking as the non date submariner. Personally I have to have a watch with a date on it.
It is a great watch enjoy it! |

I personally need a date display and prefer the cyclops "Rolex" style. My buddy bought a no-date Sub to save a bit of $$ but felt short changed not having a date on his new Rolex. A month later traded it back to the dealer on a date display Sub. He lost some $$$ on the whole ordeal.

Congrats, it's a great watch! I'd suggest buying your wife a Rolex as well. She'll get the disease and be more tolerant of subsequent purchases on your part. Best part about buying your SO a watch is getting to look at it while she is wearing it...

Congratulations on seeing the light....
Free of the guilt & self doubts.. Free of the little devil on your shoulder. Free of extraneous and unnecessary baubles (like dates). Free of a big bump on the face of your watch. Free of resetting the date. Free of cyclop scratches. Free of ever having to buy another watch in your life. Free to enjoy the clean simplicity of the ultimate Rolex. Halleluyah!.... NO DATE = NO REGRETS
