I think there is a market for both. I absolutely love the clean look without the date; however, I appreciate having the date function on my watch so I voted for date.

No date, to me it is more balanced and prettier.

I'm in agreement with one of my local AD's. Unless you just truly LOOOOOOOOVE the No-Date do not buy it. His complaint to me yesterday was that everyone he has ever had has languished in his case and he practically has to beg people to buy them. And he's not the first I've heard this from. So, if you ever think you might sell it, get a Date.

No date, differentiate from the GMT and Deep-sea. N personally I like the older version without Maxi dials.

According to Rolex there is no 'no date' it is either a 'Submariner' or a 'Submariner Date'....just sayin'

For me it would be a Submariner Date and I would change the crystal for one that has no cyclops!

This is a common myth. Technically they are known as the one with the blobby thing and the fake one.

I like things simple, but in this case more is better. I would go Sub w/date....and have.

There may be many iterations, but there is only one true Submariner and it has no date.

Perhaps this poll will quell the debate for a while anyways, I pefer the date on my watches, but from time to time I wear my no date Subs for their cleanness.

Date for me

With a few exceptions (fliegers and Panerais) I prefer a watch to have the date

And that would be because the vast majority of buyers aren't WIS types. We know better around here.

As stated above, the 16610 was much more popular than the 14060 when both were available.
Also, the 16610 was more popular than both the 16600 and the 16710.

I tried to wear a no date watch (speedy pro) but realized I rely on the date function too much to not have it. At the same time though I love the clean look of the no date sub. You should ask yourself if you really need the date function. If you don't need it as much is say go for nd.
