Submariner vs. Submariner Date.

Function should dictate design - why do you need to know the date underwater?

Of course you wouldn't need to know the date underwater, however divers constantly log the date and time of their dives. The date is very handy for them especially if they are professional divers who are diving on a daily basis.

No date because.

Just glance man... glance at your watch and you have the Date!



You know the pain and suffering Rolex engineers had to go through to put a damn Date function into that watch??? only for you guys to now come and say 'no, I don't have a use for it!??' Those Rolex engineers be like if they were alive today!

Hah. I don't think I've written a check in like 10 years, so I guess I can live without a date.

Pretty much all my watches had dates before I got the Sub. Was surprised how quickly I got used to no date. For a while I was using the bezel for the date, but soon realized I don't really need it.

I love the clean look of the no-date, and really don't like the cyclops, so it was an easy choice for me in the end.

And has anyone got a view on the 2 line or 4 line issue when choosing a no-date version?

Date.

[bergeronbryan]

The no date is just so easy to put on and wear without messing with the date.

Would anyone tell me why so many seem to prefer the submariner?

All my watches have a date. It is handy since the date changes everyday

[Seaswirl]

Date for me.

[watchmework]

Original Submariner (no date) for me.

There're really no right or wrong. I get good use of of the date so if it's between the two I'll always choose date. But I totally love the look of the 114060. It's just a different look.

Date for sure

Seems like you get something more with the date window. But for 900 dollars really up to the person.

i'm still up in the air if i buy a sub with the date.

[Welcome]

I have a Sub C and the no date is simply beautiful, the seemles simitary is stunning.

To me after seeing the no date version the date and cyclops just completely ruined the design.

You can still tell the time when it's quarter past. Oh, and it's about a million times cooler.

Thank you for pulling this lot together. It looks like overall, the vote is 2 liner - with Tritium. Both look classy anyway.

They are making Subs without Tritium? It'll never catch on.

I'm strange I knowl as my favourite watch is the GMT with date

But the sub,,,prefer the No Date

[Hollister]

Problem with the GMT (with date) is that which time zone does the date refer to?
