What’s more popular?

The Submariner (no date) or the Submariner Date (black dial / bezel of course)

zjd168 · 9 July 2018, 04:25 AM

Has to be the date version. The function is very useful and most one/two watch people need it.

Chewbacca · 9 July 2018, 04:27 AM

When given a choice of two of the same Rolex model, cyclops always wins in a general popularity and sales contest.

superdog · 9 July 2018, 04:33 AM

I think the date is more popular.

But I prefer the no date.

Cru Jones · 9 July 2018, 04:35 AM

The reality is that most people want the date. What’s great is that Rolex offers both.

Etschell · 9 July 2018, 04:38 AM

depends on if you are a desk diver or a ocean diver.

Agreed

nikesupremedunk · 9 July 2018, 04:45 AM

Outside of TRF you won't find too many that would prefer the No date. In the real world, I've seen a dozen Sub C Date's while I've seen only 1 ND.

Having owned both, I greatly prefer the date. ND is cool at first but checking my wrist for the date quickly got old. Also I'm a huge cyclops fan so Date for me.

Heff · 9 July 2018, 05:43 AM

I prefer a date function on my watches. I’m not a huge fan of plain ole three handed watches.

I insist on a date window on all my watches. It’s something I expect and something I use all the time. Also note that the Sub Date sells for more than the SubND, both at retail and in the gray market.

Likestheshiny · 9 July 2018, 06:06 AM

On the basic black steel version, I prefer the no date. But I prefer most of the more colourful versions to begin with.

Time666 · 9 July 2018, 06:32 AM

Date more popular for sure. For me the sub non date gets more wrist time than any other watch in my collection, which includes the BLRO, LV and BLNR. I think it’s the perfect symmetry which draws me towards this watch. Something about this one for me, I just love it.

I would prefer to have the date.

hbombkid · 9 July 2018, 06:33 AM

I think the date is more popular. As a kid if I ever thought Rolex it was a Sub Date.

I prefer the date. I suppose I’m old fashioned because I always check my wrist for the date instead of pulling out my phone.

My preference is for the Submariner; however, do expect the poll to lean towards the date model.

BigCFM · 9 July 2018, 07:02 AM

Think I prefer the date (just).

watchmework · 9 July 2018, 07:16 AM

My guess is outside of TRF the sub date is more popular. I’d imagine the 114060 is more popular with the WIS community, but that’s just a guess.

Sub date for me!

tyler1980 · 9 July 2018, 07:36 AM

Date. IMO you have to be a WIS to be into the no date and there are way less of us than people who just want a Sub. WIS like both, but random people don't like both basically.

I think you are correct generally speaking but I’m sure there are a few non WIS folks out there that prefer the look of the Submariner over the Submariner date and others that buy the Submariner for the slightly lower MSRP.

JCZ5 · 9 July 2018, 07:53 AM

To the general non-wis public, the date for sure! For me, I prefer the non-date. For date, I’m all about the LVc

I have the no-date and love it; I think if you had to have ONE Rolex the date would be it. But as a second Rolex, the no-date is perfect.
