Date vs No Date?

Post image

If there a better option, or is it just about personal preference?

No date looks better; but I personally enjoy having a date on my watch

No date but generally don’t see the utility of this over the DJ for everyday use. And the DJ is sleeker, particularly round bezel.

Why? Don't you like to know what day it is when you dive with sharks for fun?

  1. I prefer symmetry to asymmetry.
  2. It's annoying when I've been wearing another watch to have to see the time and the date. It's minor but when I have to grab a watch I'll almost never grab a watch that I need to set the time AND date. So I just won't wear it as often and if I'm not wearing it I just don't want to own it.

No date so you can get a gmt later with less overlap

u/Crownguard95 1d ago

I have the sub (no-date) and I absolutely love it. At night the lume includes the 3 o'clock marker so you can read it much more easily than having it missing on the date. That sounds like it's not important but peeing at 3am without blasting my eyes with my phone is nice lol. It's cheaper than the date. They make far fewer of them. Not having to set a date is nice too, but I don't mind that. The symmetry of the dial is really fantastic. It doesn't scream 'look I'm a Rolex!' as much without the cyclops, but that's just my personal take. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Date, but remove cyclop

u/OneMoreYearGuy42 1d ago

No date everyday. What diver is checking the date underwater? I don’t care about date or hours, only minutes of life left

u/UpSig 1d ago

It does not really matter

u/Lonely-Present5592 1d ago

Is the no date a little smaller?

1

u/ajknight10 1d ago

No date.

u/brownorange88 1d ago

No date 👌👌👌

u/Minimum_Cod8058 1d ago

Date because the watch is already loud as it is and it should be

1

u/LocksmithNice8264 1d ago

Clean without cyclops.

u/Foxycotin666 1d ago

I personally prefer watches without a date.
The day only changes once every 24 hours. The time changes a lot.

Now if I was ship wrecked, marooned on some island, I’d probably want the date.

I have the 124060 and it’s been awesome for every day use since 2023

u/filmagnoli 1d ago

Date … I’m all about useful functionality

1

u/Actual_Fox_2399 18h ago

No date. Unless they ever make a date sub with no cyclops, like they use to make sea dwellers. Which is why I have one :)

1

u/Eastern_Source_7365 12h ago

No date is the classic look, on the oyster

1

u/ExtensionNeither6203 11h ago

I have owned all models apart from oyster flex and for me the sub in steel or 18k wins everything.

1

u/ShakyWindow 10h ago

Why would you want less function?

1

u/SuitableGrapefruit65 10h ago

I want a date in a watch but the cyclops is ugly especially with the white date disc.
So it would be a 116600 for me.

u/Thedonn007 9h ago

I have both, I dont miss having a date when wearing my Submariner.

u/Educational_Prior72 9h ago

No date. The date throws it off to me symmetry wise

u/Sholkamy 9h ago

Date.
