Hi

So i have found an ad who will take a deposit on the sub and guarantee delivery within 3 months, but i cant decide between the two, having tried both on

The ND looks far nicer, but the date will be useful however i have never had a watch with a date so can live without it. Also despite reading people prefer the ND, in reality the demand and waitinf times for the date is far more, so why do people buy it?

If the glass was flat i would have no problem but the cyclops is ugly!

Also my next buy (in 1/2yrs) will be the DJ41 so will have a date watch if that makes a difference!

Thanks

No date!! Such a clean look and strong movement

BradSomrak · 20 December 2018, 10:58 AM

No date all day.

Jsimon · 20 December 2018, 10:58 AM

Thought I wanted the date but ended up with the ND and don’t regret it one bit. Like you got a watch later with a date and provides great versatility.

Maverick_1908 · 20 December 2018, 11:04 AM

NO DATE!

If you find the cyclops ugly and you don't need the date then you have your answer already. Plus the Submariner (which is the actual name, the 116610 is the Submariner Date) is the rarest Sub and the one to get if you're into the history of Rolex.

The cyclop is not ugly. Is part of the Rolex DNA. However, if you don't have a use for the date, then you've answered your own question already.

Ungucpho · 20 December 2018, 11:14 AM

Planning on being a single Rolex owner or ceramic Daytona? SubC date
Thinking of adding a GMT or a watch with a date function? SubC no date

porschejeff · 20 December 2018, 11:15 AM

I vote no date

brandrea · 20 December 2018, 11:17 AM

I prefer the ND aesthetically and I have watches with the date function so it’s an easy decision for me.

TickTockChuck · 20 December 2018, 11:17 AM

You answered your own question, so go with the Sub ND. I actually rather like the cyclops which is a distinct feature of Rolex plus no squinting to read the date! To each their own. Good luck. Cheers!

GB-man · 20 December 2018, 11:19 AM

Sub.....which is technically the one without a date

Tools · 20 December 2018, 11:22 AM

Get the watch you want, not what a bunch of people on a Forum tell you that you want.

siempreko · 20 December 2018, 11:25 AM

Put both on your wrist... and you will know which one you want. Decide, and never settle.

That's tough to do nowadays.

nick800 · 20 December 2018, 11:41 AM

Sub. No date

Krash · 20 December 2018, 11:44 AM

Submariner.

(i.e., no date).

The Sub Date is by far the most desired watch and easiest to resell, for what that is worth.

Sounds like you have your answer.

None of my watches have a date. Today is 19 December. You learn to memorize it every morning and recall it throughout the day.

The Sub Date is more popular because the cyclops is iconic and many people can't remember the date otherwise.

Sub

LesserBlackDog · 20 December 2018, 11:56 AM

Why pay $1,000 extra for a feature you don’t need?

beshannon · 20 December 2018, 11:59 AM

I prefer the cleaner look and symmetrical dial of the No Date

Jak77 · 20 December 2018, 12:03 PM

Echo everyone else. If you don't need it the date, get the ND.

I was in the exact same shoes as you. Gravitated toward the ND from the beginning and thought the cyclops was ugly as hell. As I got closer to making my purchase, I really started paying attention to how often I looked at my previous watch for the date.

I came to find I looked at the date too many times throughout the day to warrant getting a ND. I would hate to have to constantly pull out my phone to look at the date instead of my watch. As a result of, or in conjunction, the cyclops grew on me. When I finally went to the store to try them both on, the date won out. I even considered from the beginning that I would have the crystal replaced by LAWW with one without the cyclops, but I'm not so sure I will anymore. If you haven't seen them in person, I highly recommend you do. My perspective changed entirely when I saw them in person and not in the macro zoom these forums portray them in.

rebel_1 · 20 December 2018, 12:04 PM

For SS, no date, obviously you can only get the no date with SS. I wish the YG LN came with no date tbh.

s.m.b. · 20 December 2018, 12:09 PM

114060, all day!

mistercoach32 · 20 December 2018, 12:25 PM

I prefer the date. Going from date to no date isn't something I thought would be a difficult transition, but turns out I use the date complication more than I thought.

peterpl · 20 December 2018, 12:28 PM

date always. The date complication is actually very useful for me and I use it daily. And I have a thing with all of my watches it needs to be able to tell the time and the date at a minimum.

904VT · 20 December 2018, 12:32 PM

In all honesty, I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever of these two you decide to get

Deroya · 20 December 2018, 12:39 PM

Submariner

darkside7 · 20 December 2018, 12:42 PM
