Officially, but us watch guys tend to call it Sub Date and ND Sub.

Don’t let it bother you

So I've come to terms with the fact I won't get it by then, but the waiting times I've been quoted are extraordinary. My local dealer in Belfast has a 3 year waiting list! So I phoned a few dealers in London thinking they may be shorter but in fact some have closed their waiting lists they are so long!

Does anyone have any advice on where to go or tips that could get me on a shorter list? Thanks!
Hi, I was in the same boat without the birthday issue and wanted a no-date sub as soon as possible. I'm in Chicago and after months and months of waiting, I went with a new, unworn no-date from a grey market dealer (right down the streeet from an AD lol) and only paid a $100 more than retail. The grey market markups on the sub aren't as bad as the other watches and if it'll get me a watch quicker than 3 years, I'm ok with that.

strange question. But if you let me control your life, then I would say Rolex is not for you.

Jeez. 3 years? I just ordered one last week. Two of the local AD's around me said 2 to 3 months (3 months on long end). I ordered from one of them, he realistically though about 6 weeks, but couldn't guarantee it but would guarantee it wouldn't be three months. Hopefully he is correct.

6 months? Trusted sellers have them available BNIB all day long! Why put yourself through the agony?

I agree. My AD still hasn’t gotten mine. Makes me glad I bought mine from a seller. I know for sure the AD gave mine to one of their “regulars” when they asked for one. That list is a sham

Trusted sellers aren’t much use when you’re in the UK though.

Any grey sellers are over MRSP/RRP and if he were to use a trusted seller based in the USA, not only is it expensive due to exchange rate, but he also has to pay a further 20% VAT.

I’d keep waiting.

I wouldn't keep anything unless I wear it in my rotation, I have three different brand subs, 1 with date and use them all.

Chase (au_911tt) has a 14060M two liner that just got back from service for sale in the marketplace.

late production too.

That's what I would do....

Screw the list. I'd buy this. If I ended up not wearing one, I think both are sellable without taking too big of a hit (if you didn't over spend on the bluesy).

You have been here long enough to know better J-E.

Your 114060 is more like a SubC.

A 116610 is just like a SubdateC.

Drop the C for the older models and add any extras.

Keep the Bluesy, and forget the SS. Spend 1/2 the money on a Tudor Bronze.

Here’s. A no BS answer from someone who regrets selling his Black SS Sub Date.
Keep both watches!!!
I currently own a YG DD (super bling), & an TT Blue Sub Date (high bling), but for most everyday use, I miss the SS Black Sub.(moderate bling) What was I thinking?

I'd keep both -- they're pretty different. However, you might also consider putting one of them on a strap to make the difference more pronounced. A black steel sub looks great on a Rubber B or Everest strap, or the bluesy would look great on leather.

(And given how subs without dates are much less common, I'd rather people call it a "no date" when it occasionally comes up than constantly remind us that their regular sub has a date.)

Sell the TT Submariner Date. Wear the Submariner everyday. Never go on a watch forum again and save a lot of money.
