Need some advice on a new Sub and SD
Hi everyone,
I'm a newcomer to Rolex Submariner. I'd like to ask expert opinion on 3 questions before I make a new purchase:
1) whether a simple Submariner (no date) is any good? Because I see a lot of collectors (and new buyers) usually purchase the Sub with the date (and magnifying glass).
2) the price for a new Submariner (with date) and a Sea Dweller different about 10%, which one you think is of a higher value in the long run?
3) Is there a new Submariner with date and no magnifying glass?
Thanks for the advice!

The Sub (non-date) is an excellent choice
Hi Sam. 1) Yes the 14060M Sub is an excellent timepiece with literally the same movement as the Sub Date, minus the date-wheel. It carries on the tradition of the original Sub from the 1950's with it's brushed bracelet and lug-holes case. A real beauty. M...
I opted for the SD
Before I bought my SD (16600), I too, was considering Sub-Date & Sub-NoDate. Frankly, I dislike the cyclop, which disrupts the view of dial. Much prefer the clean look. I then chose the SD (as opposed to Sub-NoDate) due to it been discontinued and harder ...
