Attn: Rolex experts

I saw a Submariner Date yesterday.
I know mostly the recent models. This one was different in the dimensions.
The case is much thinner, and the crown is much smaller. The dial looks similar to a regular Sub. I was not in a postion to remove bracelet or take pictures. Is it a special/rare Sub?

Photos are the best descriptors. Can you make and post pictures of the watch?

No such thing.......a Sub-date is a Sub-date is a Sub-date.

You could have seen a RADO!!!
