I had this exact same dilemma 2 weeks ago when I went to buy my wife's DJ..my SA offered me a piece of both the Sub Date and ND at very very good price..I really love the clean and asymmetrical look of the ND since you can see the whole dial..on the other hand people kept telling me the cyclops is the mark of Rolex..and the Sub Date holds better value..
Had both watches in my hand for 15 mins..in the end.........BOTH ALSO DIDN'T BUY! Couldn't decide on the spot..now looking at pics and overseas forums..they seem to like the ND more as it's the original Sub..even James Bond wore the Sub ND though it's a vintage model..I think I may go for the ND real soon..most of my watches have date but I realised I never depended on my watch to tell dates..I'm pretty good with my head for that..

Don't forget that the original Sub was without date. Sub Date came later.
Rolex does not call it Sub No-date. It is either "Sub" or "Sub date". LOL .
Both are nice but I am no fan of the cyclops although I can live with it
Here is a pic taken this morning by the window to use for my blog. Just to share the balanced beauty of the Sub and reassure I made the right choice.
Poor attempt at a lume shot although managed to capture some of the Blue.
frankly you can't go wrong with either. As someone mentioned b4, it is personal preference.
