This has always been a near 50/50. With TRF demographics changing, curious to see how the community feels now on an age-old question.

Everyday watch, i prefer a date on my sub. I like the no date better, but unfortunately i need the date.

Majin Buu · 2 January 2022, 06:13 AM

To me is all about usefulness!
Not just because someone famous wore the same model in the past!
I make my own history...
Just the way I see it.

Cheers!

No one asked for this type of comment. Either you come with something relevant or you just skip it!

So which is it you prefer to wear as you are out making history. That must be very exciting for you.

Do you mean the date IS useful or that you don't want the date because it isn't useful?

I don't need a date, I don't even need a second hand (Panerai Base owner/lover), but aesthetically for a sub I would probably choose the date.

amphr1 · 2 January 2022, 06:18 AM

Can I have both? I told my AD I want a no-date AND a cermit.

Perfect sub combo. Was lucky to pick up both within 3 weeks of one another from 2 separate AD’s last year. Hope your AD comes good for you👍

Skaramanga · 2 January 2022, 06:21 AM

Date on the phone. The sub is a watch and the symmetry of the dial is magnificent …

Glidelock · 2 January 2022, 06:21 AM

In most cases, including Rolex Sub’s, I prefer my watches w/ Date complication. Yet, somehow have no desire for Rolex to ever add a Date function to the Daytona!

I wouldn’t make this decision in a bubble personally. I think it depends on what you currently have. If I had a GMT for example, then I would go for a sub no date. If this would be my only Rolex forever, I would go for a sub date to get that iconic cyclops.

Krash · 2 January 2022, 06:45 AM

I generally prefer watches without a date; especially when it comes to the Submariner. However, it's not a deal breaker for me. I bought a Seamaster and it has a date. I'd love to have a Bluesy.

Plus, I want to get a Datejust, and the date complication is pretty much the entire point of why that watch exists in the first place.

Manu74 · 2 January 2022, 06:52 AM

All my watches have a date function.

inadeje · 2 January 2022, 06:55 AM

No date is my favorite. Such a clean classy look.

S52 · 2 January 2022, 07:00 AM

Starting to warm up to the no-dates... Date is fine for a daily wearer. But it gets tiresome to have to reset the time and date on the watches I don't wear so often.

Especially on my 1680 which doesn't have the quickset date feature.

DoctorA · 2 January 2022, 07:17 AM

Why take less when you can get more???
Sub date for me please!

paxjedi · 2 January 2022, 07:21 AM

I always forget the date, even while I am diving.
I do dive.

S7gpt · 2 January 2022, 07:43 AM

date, won't buy a watch without but that's just me !

I have had a Sub date since 1979 and didn't even know there was one without a date until a few years ago. The Submariner for me will never look right without a date....

There is only ONE Submariner...and then there is the Submariner Date. Which I vote for. Love me the date, love me the cyclops...

And a true Sub/SubDate is Black on Black. Period.
