The Cyclops is part of Rolex.

Sorry, I can't vote. I'm still up in the air over this one, been trying to decied this for months which one for my next watch.

mike · 25 December 2007, 06:52 AM

If I had one watch it would have a date. Just so convenient.

steel4me · 25 December 2007, 06:59 AM

I believe the resale value is tremendous with the date. Even though the same watches, the diff in desirability is tremendous ... looks like most want the date.....

tools, date is important and the sub is a great everyday watch, but i have 3 watches with dates and 2 without..

really cant decide, i love the one with no date because it has a much more classic look to it.. but on the other hand like u said the date is convenient

steel4me · 25 December 2007, 07:14 AM

by the way, can someone tell me the MSRP price difference between the date and no-date?

thanks

Alex Stylianou · 25 December 2007, 07:32 AM

Date !!!

Mrdi · 25 December 2007, 07:44 AM

both
Unless the date is quick change the date is a chore.
If you wear it everyday then date is OK because you don't need to change it.
If you wear that Rolex once or twice a week/month, then the date needs changed everytime.
CHORE

I personally love the cyclops on the submariner date. It is amazing how much magnification it has!

Goodwatch · 25 December 2007, 08:47 AM

If the non date is a chronometer movement.... I vote non date, very clean, very basic.

steel4me · 25 December 2007, 08:49 AM

I looked at one without a date but its dial looked very blank. It is nice to have that writing on it "certified chronometer" which is missing on the no-date sub.

But I am thinking of buying it soon. I have the date SS sub and a seadweller, so I want to complete the sports series with this sub-nodate model .....

gmt 16750 · 25 December 2007, 09:06 AM

For me personally, a watch has to have a date.

kcmo · 25 December 2007, 10:03 AM

I've always loved the DATE model which is what I went for. Love that cyclops. But the no date is a classic too. You can't go wrong either way!

frostie · 25 December 2007, 10:42 AM

No date since the SS sub date is really common out there

roadcarver · 25 December 2007, 12:25 PM

I would go for the sub date since I need a date complication in all my watches. Love the 14060, but just missing the date - used to have the 14060 - didn't like the cyclops so I replaced it with the Sea-Dweller. I know in the world of pocket technologies, they all tell you the date, but I'm sooo used to looking at my watch for the date.

Tallboy · 25 December 2007, 12:27 PM

I'm not a cyclops fan, I think it looks "added-on". If I had to have a date on my watch, I would go SD, or have the crystal replaced with a non-cyclops.

FlyingMoose · 25 December 2007, 12:38 PM

I did a resale comparison which I posted in another thread, based on eBay auctions...

Anyway, the Date and ND subs depreciate almost exactly the same amount, percentage wise. So, this isn't really much of an issue.

SSD · 25 December 2007, 12:45 PM

I've always had a date feature on all my watches, so its a learned dependency with me. But I like the cyclops' appearance, too!

DS/B MINI S · 25 December 2007, 12:53 PM

They both look great, but I'll have to cast my vote for the date.

Paulie · 25 December 2007, 01:01 PM

I voted non-date as well. Its just so clean and classic a look with a elegance of symmetry.

Hicks · 25 December 2007, 11:17 PM

Date for me. I just got to have a date on my watch. Apart from that, I prefer the SELs and the better constructed diver extension on the Sub Date. However, I do really appreciate the clean, classic look of the no date sub. The non-COSC that is.
