Opinion : sub date or sub no date

[SinBanLi]

Bro KenKelvin,
Your are a guru yet so humble.

Bro, Some of the earlier Iconic subs are without date eg 5514. See image below.

Ya true, I know tks for pointing it out. I think I used wrong word to describe. Should be I feel weird without date on sub haha

[SinBanLi]

Definitely sub date. Sub ND is cleaner looking but somehow I feel it not as iconic

nd for me too. helps a lot and save time if u have a few watch to rotate. if the watch stop just set the hr and min and u r ready to go. save the hassle of settling the date.

Sub nd..

I like the sub because of the rotating bezel - useful for timing swims, walks, etc, without straining the eyes. As to whether date or nd, my first choice was the date;
over time, I begin to see the beauty of the submariner nd, it's clear clean face and acquired one. Love it!

I share ur exact same sentiments R-oyster...

I feel sub without date is abit plain.... But the new ceramic non date sub is quite nice.....

Some appreciate the clean look.

btw, the face would look cleaner...classic...

sub w o date, much better to look at...

[kman101]

I prefer the sub with date as well for convenience at knowing the date (rather than looking at my phone). The other factor is the cyclops.

However, if given the choice, I'd get both!

[toffeesthings]

For practical reasons i went for the date. Quite hardfor me when meeting clients or in mtg to take out phone to check dates at a glance

But the nd is really a clean looking one. Both models are winners in my books

Agree Bro, both are winners. If only the diameter could be a tad larger at 42-44mm : (
