Opinion : sub date or sub no date

[eXis10z]

Is there even a slightest chance to find a brand new 16610 in SG these days? Maybe some older watch shops?

Think a brand new 16610 is very rare now
some can even say non existent.
But the sub nd 14060 can still find as they only started new
Nd version recently. Still prefer the one with date IMHO no cyclops
eye dun feel like a Rolex

There's a brand new 16610 for sale in the Rolex Garage right now.

Must have date- cyclops is a Rolex signature

IMHO sub nd is the all time classic but sub date for more practical reasons. Dweller perhaps?

[dchongster]

noobie query: did the sub originally come w date or not?

The very first sub is w/o date... Cheers

[Jiahao]

no date sub!

[badass09]

I prefer the sub date cos there's another excuse to look and admire my sub... Hehe...

No date sub for the clean look...and less date setting if you have multiple watches to rotate.

Whist we are discussing our preferences for the sub with date and the subs without, it seems that the pre-owned market for subs with no date is drying up, ie very few are selling. It is because there's no demand, or it is because they are keeping their subs with no-date. Love to hear your views.

How did your observation come about? I thought there have been several pieces on sale in the forum's sales garage. And they're still selling?

[Givache]

Sub nd lower maintenance and less think to wind if u have more than one watch. Sub date for the "pong kia" date.

I prefer Sub date for 2 reasons: 1. Added function of telling me the date & 2. The cyclops lens for magnifying the date, which is a distinctive feature on Rolex watches, except for DSSD

If you are going to wear the watch on daily basis, Sub with date. Else...
