Which rolex submariner is a better choice and the reason behind it, My dad is getting me one so I would like some opinions to help me make up my mind.

And oh, date or no date?

Well both basically the same now including the movement one has the cal 3130 that's the non date, the date has the cal 3135.Which is a cal 3130 with a date complication in overall sales the date Subs are more popular.

I like the date, but the non-date is a very clean look. Let us know what you decide.

locutus49 · 6 January 2015, 01:57 AM

I like the Hulk. Green dial and bezel.

The Balance Wheel · 6 January 2015, 02:01 AM

on the sub I prefer it without the date. The dial is cleaner and more symmetrical.

kilyung · 6 January 2015, 02:04 AM

Well if Dad's buying... Gold!

GerardoG · 6 January 2015, 02:05 AM

...personal taste, both are great watches!

nick c · 6 January 2015, 02:17 AM

Its up to you if need date or no date

KBM · 6 January 2015, 02:23 AM

114060 as a first. Good luck deciding!

Have him take you to an AD and try some on.

elkaholic · 6 January 2015, 04:52 AM

I've had both date and non-date, currently I have the non-date 14060m. If I did not have two other Rolex models with dates, I might have leaned more towards the date model when I got the Sub. It is hard to beat the clean look of the dial on the Sub without a date in my opinion.

Psmith · 6 January 2015, 04:55 AM

The 'safest' choice would be the 116610 LN (Sub Date with black dial)

Sam Philip · 6 January 2015, 04:57 AM

Sub date

Gerardus · 6 January 2015, 04:58 AM

I would go for a random or G-serial 16610 or 14060M.
I am going to sell my SUBc because for my wrist it does not wear very comfortable.
(to bulky and heavy)
My 2 cents....

Tri-Tip · 6 January 2015, 08:26 AM

Date. When I wear my watch without a date, I realize how often I check it.

McLovin · 6 January 2015, 08:40 AM

I use the date a lot

sco · 6 January 2015, 08:46 AM

Sub C Date

These are really choices you should make for yourself...

+1. I like Mike's thinking!

I personally prefer the date because it does come in handy at times.

Exclusivewatches · 6 January 2015, 11:27 AM

Submariner date, if you have the chance in pulling a gold model instead of steel, go for it.

GoonerStrike · 6 January 2015, 11:38 AM

The watches are identical, so do you want a date or not? Its a simple question especially since money isn't an issue here.

This is only a problem if you like the look of the no-date more then the date(I like the ND). If not then buy the date!

Speed · 6 January 2015, 11:39 AM

So what do you think?

isaacLimyh · 6 January 2015, 01:33 PM

I prefer the ND version just because it's clean looking..
But I was told that the date sub has better resell value and more sustainable as in you will tend to use it longer since it has date on it?

Urosfan · 6 January 2015, 01:53 PM

No wrong choice but I prefer the date
