i prefer the date

JJ Irani · 26 December 2007, 03:37 AM

The Cyclops is like a Rolex Trademark. The Date for me is a must!! So, naturally, I'd go with this one!!!

Teofilo · 26 December 2007, 05:57 AM

Go for the classic Sub.......14060M............beautiful and classy !

shauno · 26 December 2007, 06:37 AM

One with date but without cyclops

Bilbox · 25 May 2008, 09:59 AM

No date

vegasvince · 25 May 2008, 10:38 AM

I have been really jonsin' the ND for the past coupla months...it looks more balanced without the cyclops.

mikey · 25 May 2008, 11:00 AM

Honestly, I love the vintage 5508 and 5513 with such classic lines that I get the date from my Motorola Razor. I am currently getting my 5512 serviced.

SPACE-DWELLER · 25 May 2008, 10:26 PM

I voted for the Sub Date!

As stated, a date function is very convenient.

Thani · 25 May 2008, 10:29 PM

bo, where the hell did you find this post ? loool

i already got the SD like 2 months lol

what an old post

Andad · 25 May 2008, 10:34 PM

I like both of them about the same.

Trurolexer · 25 May 2008, 10:38 PM

I love BOTH. But if I must choose one between 'em, I will go to Subdate.

I forgot about this thread. I just added my answer being the Sub Date, since I bought on this past Feb.

topcat30093 · 26 May 2008, 08:36 AM

All my Rolex watches have dates, I love the cyclops lense, for me its a traditional trademark of a Rolex watch.
Even though many other companies have used it.
The only one that I would have without a date is the Daytona.

-Subsevens · 26 May 2008, 08:42 AM

Sub date "cyclops" for me... It's the classic look that I have always associated with the Submariner...

KLM · 26 May 2008, 09:16 AM

I like both, but for now the ND is the one for me!

docnagel · 26 May 2008, 11:43 AM

No date all the way.

rpryan55 · 26 May 2008, 11:58 AM

I have to say that I'm really, really into the ND. I just think it's classic and a timeless piece. Also, sometimes it's just as well not to know how fast the days are passing by......

perryj · 26 May 2008, 12:09 PM

I love the cyclops.

Marrk · 26 May 2008, 12:14 PM

No-Date, please. I am not yet in love with the cyclops, although I recognize that it is a super-iconic Rolex "thang."

By the way, we're talking about a "dive watch" right? If I'm diving and I don't know what _day_ it is, perhaps I, um, shouldn't be diving.

14060man · 26 May 2008, 01:58 PM

The No Date is the original and "real" Submariner.

delldeaton · 26 May 2008, 01:59 PM

Some time ago I made the decision that if it were only one Submariner, it would have to be the Sub Date. Much as I like some of the vintage Subs, none is in the running because they can't match the technology of today; and current Subs strike me as "wanna be's" of the past.

Hope I haven't offended anyone. That is not my intent. If the current 14060M were offered w/out all the lines of text on the dial and no gold surrounds on the markers, my answer might be different. In other words, it ceases to be a plain, working, tool watch as it now stands, but if it were just that, it might be the greatest.

ROLEX MAN · 26 May 2008, 02:04 PM

love the clean no date look!

ndane · 26 May 2008, 06:15 PM

Gotta go with the date. The only thing that draws me to the no date is that Roger Moore's James Bond wore a sub with no date.

This is well said. Not sure why Rolex won't offer matte dials devoid of feminine white gold surrounds on their classic tool watches. There is a market for them to "reissue" a tool watch that harkens back to the "classic" Sub appearance.

janc · 1 June 2008, 05:15 PM

Definately NON DATE.
Have had both and the classic uncluttered dial of the non date is cleaner and IMHO makes the watch look bigger.The only proviso is if you only have one one watch maybe you need a date function.If you have more than 1 watch I find it a pain to keep changing the date on the second date watch.
Hope this helps.

JJ Irani · 1 June 2008, 05:22 PM

Both are excellent. The question you have to ask yourself is: "Do I NEED the date or do I just want it?" If you think it's the latter, then go with the no-date Sub!! Either way, you'll come out a winner!!

scottschoe · 1 June 2008, 05:29 PM

ND. The cyclops just gets in the way of reading the time.

jtrader · 1 June 2008, 05:38 PM

I'm on the hunt now for a Sub No date my self. I prefer both though! Looking for something around 3,500 to 4,000 .
