Submariner or Submariner Date. The definitive survey.

[blue lion]

date all day every day

[Nairn1980]

I am surprised by these poll results.

It just shows that the enthusiasts really still love the no date despite it not being the obvious choice.

[Chope Man]

If only used for diving, a submariner would need no date.

But it is not, most of the time.

I had a 5513 decades ago. At a time I would have preferred a 1680. But, oh dear, how I LOVED this submariner!

Now I have a 16618, that only exists with the date, as all PM submariner.

I prefer with date, recognize that a sea dweller with no cyclop looks great, and would love to also have a four lines 5512 for the collection and beautiful look (and a Submariner Red, and a double red...).

So I love both, with and without date, prefer the date for practicability and definitively need to win some lottery!

If only one Rolex, I would take a sub with date for my use because I'm lost without a date (even though we find date on one's computer, on iPhone...). If having a large collection, one with, one without (among other pieces).

I voted "with date".

My first post and I feel I'm stating the obvious. The Submariner is simply the finest watch in the world. I'd suggest the date version, is the second best.

[fnfiveseven]

Sub hands down.

Theres something beautiful about the having no cyclops with a flat, perfect mirror shine on the glass.

[sgwatchguy]

A little surprised tbh seeing the Sub ahead on the poll. Personally much prefer it minus date, but I always thought more prefer the date version.

[raretime]

The Original is louder than the Date.

[Oxfordian]

I have a DJ 41 for any times when knowing a date is super important so as the owner of the new 124060 Submariner I have to go with the original Submariner

No-date. I'm retired now, and don't need to refer to the date very much. I can use the iPhone for that.

[wrexc]

No date. I prefer the symmetry of the Submariner.

[JRell]

Sub is perfect

[vcap826]

Everyone says no date but buys date. That said, being an essential worker in NYC during the worst of the lockdown has made a date wheel a must for me from now on.

[GONZO2LR]

i love my subdate...i do look at the date...

[southcarolina1801]

While I love the no-date symmetry and totally understand the appeal, for daily wear the date makes more sense. I use it every single day.

[RogerOP]

Date makes it a little less boring.

[MrGoat]

Sub date for me. I use it all the time.

IMHO...no date...in every watch

[PLNYC]

Sub date for me

[Podmornica]

Original Submariner doesn't have a date window.

You don't need to know what date is under the water and it looks sufficient on this model ..

I would save my date desire for a GMT.

I was on the fence when I got my sub several years ago. The simplicity of the sub is more visually appealing to me and most of the other watches have dates. If I want a date on my watch, I’ll wear one of the watches with a date function. It’s one of the few iconic Rolex watches without a date. Why not have one of each.

[Seddyspaghetti]

I like both but i like the date more.

[stormshadow]

I prefer no date; better balance for the diver dial. My Explorer 2 handles the date/GMT complications.

[TswaneNguni]

116610LN > 114060
124060 > 126610LN

You be the judge .

[mario1971]

I had Sub without a date, he even went on vacation with me. Unfortunately, after returning to work, it turned out that the watch became of little use to me. So I sold it quickly. Now I'm waiting for a Dated Submariner (I'm signed up with AD).

[Jetblack57]

Don't need the date at any depth...
