2 liner vintage.

The true Sub is not a Sub date.

Submariner No Date.
It's so clean, simple, and visually symmetrical. Yet still looks rugged.

I feel that a Sub with a colored bezel or dial with a date just looks right.

Submariner with the date for me.

A date function on wristwatches is pretty much a prerequisite for me Because I’m an idiot who never remembers the dates.

im on the no-date camp. I have watches that I rotate constantly so I'm happy to slip on the no date sub , set it to the right time and off i go! same thought process with the speed masters!

Sub for me. I thought I would prefer the date, then I found a no date, tried it on and fell in love instantly. Then I bought it and don’t really see myself not wearing it all the time.

I find date functions clumsy and unnecessary. Gotta be the Sub.

ND for me as well. Though hopefully I'll have both soon. Patiently waiting for a 126610LV and own a matte 5513. ND LV would be cool though.

Hard to decide, I have both. I find that the 14060M with no date gets the most wrist time.

For me, the Submariner is THE Submariner. I have always been drawn more to the no date model. I have gone back and forth in the past between owning Sub and Sub Date. If I had to choose one to have forever it'd be the Sub. That being said, I do currently own a Sub and a Sub Date, but if one had to go for some reason...it'd be the Sub Date.

I always had a submariner. I do like the look better, but the cyclops is iconic and like the LV a bit more as it is more interesting.

Oddly voted Sub no date and also it is on my wish list even though all my previous (but 214270) and current watches have dates. Love its simplicity.

I wouldn't own a watch without a date. But, that's just me.

Submariner.

And I wonder why "they" reversed their design (11 to 12) to mimic the real McCoy.

Submariner - Black watch, no date. It’s perfect if it’s a 4, 5, or 6 digit watch.

If you add some color, it looks good with a date IMO.

I do find the date complication extremely useful.

Having said that, Sub all the way for me. A fantastic watch that I wear 95% of the time.

I have the Submariner Date but am seriously considering getting the No Date as well (maybe a 14060).
