Submariner - Date or No Date

[Rolax]

Hi Everyone,

I have been contemplating getting a brand new Rolex Submariner for weeks. This would br my first Rolex...Yay! Mainly between the 1460M (No Date) and the 16610 (with Date). I like both watches, looks and function-wise so juat to help me decide, let me know which you would rather get and why?
Also, does anyone know which would have better resale value over the years? Not that I would like to sell it since I would be wearing it everyday but I would like it to retain its value. Let me know? Thanks

If you have the budget for both, I would encourage you to get the SubDate for the following reasons:

- the cyclops (which is uniquely Rolex);
- it will be replaced by the SubC soon, making it more in demand;
- thus better resale value eventually

If you want to get the No Date, I rather you get the Sea Dweller instead also for the following reasons;
- Sea Dweller is no longer in production;
- better resale value;
- heavier and has got a better presence than either the No Date/ SubDate

Hope that helps you.
