it depends on ur:
- budget ( the difference is 1300sgd approx)
- the sub nd is clearer to see, sterile but i tends to get bored faster with it
- the sub date is iconic with its cyclopsComment

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..Comment

Rolex without the cyclops eye does not look like a Rolex to me so I prefer with date as it is more iconic"He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex." �Ian Fleming, Casino Royale (1953)

always prefer something clean and simple, ND is my choice, cyclops is just too "high profile" for me

I bought a Sub ND a year ago. Like the clean look. Depends on individual's preference. No right or wrong choice.Comment

Both watches are beautiful but if i have to choose it's the Submariner No Date for me... its the classic dive watch IMHO, i guess thats why the first submariner was made without the date.Comment

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.Comment
