Opinion : sub date or sub no date

[Rollie21]

Both SE (whom I bought from) and I was standing in front of the display and negotiating the discount for the Sub D and ND. I was aiming at the ND. Clean look n no need to bother with adjusting the date. A gentleman walk in and tried both watches and the explorer2 (black). Within 10 minutes, he bought the only Sub D.

Left the ND for me to try on which I am aiming for. However, when I try it on, it gives me the impression that it looks plain. Well, the SE managed to get another Sub D from another branch for me to try on and compare. In the end, bought the Sub D.

So, 2 Sub D within an hour. The cyclop do make a different.

should i get sub date or sub nd? can please advise. thanks

Actually, its own preference for this question & IMO, I will get it with a date

Sub ND it's how the rolex submariner was born...

IMO,sub with date for steel. ND goes well with rubber strap.

Im into the cyclops thingy too..kind of like a rolex identity..

If you are going to wear the watch on daily basis, Sub with date. Else...

I prefer Sub date for 2 reasons: 1. Added function of telling me the date & 2. The cyclops lens for magnifying the date, which is a distinctive feature on Rolex watches, except for DSSD

Sub nd lower maintenance and less think to wind if u have more than one watch. Sub date for the "pong kia" date.

How did your observation come about? I thought there have been several pieces on sale in the forum's sales garage. And they're still selling?

[R-oyster]

Whist we are discussing our preferences for the sub with date and the subs without, it seems that the pre-owned market for subs with no date is drying up, ie very few are selling. It is because there's no demand, or it is because they are keeping their subs with no-date. Love to hear your views.

No date sub for the clean look...and less date setting if you have multiple watches to rotate.

[badass09]

I prefer the sub date cos there's another excuse to look and admire my sub... Hehe...

[Jiahao]

no date sub!

noobie query: did the sub originally come w date or not?

The very first sub is w/o date... Cheers
