The Submariner is a fine time piece. One day there will be time enough at last and I will own this watch. Do you prefer the date or no date on the dial?...

 

It’s your personal preference but I’d go blue.

 

Spit it out man! What are you trying to say?

Oops.. I just noticed this thread is under Rolex watches

Sorry. I Reposted this in the (Modern Omega Watch) section. I am trying to delete this thread as it is in a Rolex section.

 

Just post a comment and pic of your Rolex and all is fixed.

 

It was Omega related. But I do love rolex so I will.

 

If you already have a watch with the date complication I'd go with the no date sub. It's nice to enjoy a simple time only piece with a clean dial when you feel like it.

 

This thread was about the blue Aqua Terra and the bond version with yellow highlights.

I’ve been drinking Cognac but not that much wth?

Re date no date...

Imho the cyclops is part of the Rolex DNA easily visible from a distance. If your going to wear a modern Rolex wear the most Rolex version. Otherwise just buy an Omega.

 

I see the Submariner a tool watch. At least that was the intention 60 years ago, so no date for me.

 

Indeed it was an aqua terra post originally. I moved it to an Omega thread and couldn't delete it.. So I switched it to a different question about another fav of mine.. lol. I think ive been drinking too much..... coffee that is.... 0345 hours Eastern time.... lol

 

Yes. I have a 2017 Aquaracer with the date/Cyclops.. (don't know why they put a Cyclops) but I think this is one of Tag's Nicest. Anyway I have a few with the date complication.

 

On the Sub “date / no-date” topic. Definately date for me.

 

A no-date sub is the true original. Unless you wear the watch as a daily beater, I recommend to take the no-date.

 

No date...or maybe a date without the cyclops.

 

No date.

 

Many consider the cyclops and date a classic part of the rolex/sub styling, but I think the no date has a super clean look to it. Plus, makes for one less thing to set if not kept on a winder/worn daily.

 

No date, definitely.
It appears more balanced. Having said that the ceramic sub is my least favourite of my Rolex tool watches. I would read the early comments from people who hated the new case shape. I dismissed them as wrong, no question.
Then I bought one. It sits completely differently on the wrist. I feel I'm wearing a manacle. If I were you, and new/near new was important, I'd find a mint/virtually unused copy of the last of the original SeaDwellers. It's got all the hallmarks of a classic, you get a subtle date without the magnifier, wrist comfort, real tool watch credibility, and the sure thing knowledge that its value will increase in the not too distant future. And for now, either of the two will cost around the same.
I'd think twice, but I fully understand if the Ceramic Sub is what you really want. Lose the date.

 

Prefer and own SubC w/date.
