Date or no date Rolex sub and why? Have an opportunity to get a date from AD within a couple months or wait 1+ year for a no date.

The purists will say “No Date”. The practicalists will say “Date”. The opportunists will say “Get what’s available.”

A lot can change in a year, and as they say, “a Rolex at the AD is worth two at a Gray” (haha, I just made that up). I would snag the Date now, see if you bond with it, and if you don’t you can either trade it for a No Date, or sell it down the road to fund the No Date when it becomes available. In all likelihood, you’ll come to enjoy the date if you plan to wear the watch at work anyway.

Great input. Appreciate it.

Date, but that’s because the Sub is my everyday watch. I need the date multiple times a day and looking it up my phone kind of kills the point of wearing a watch.

Yes! Don't have one but every so often I get the urge to hunt one down. I was bummed when they updated it.

I like both for their own reasons, but I would go date if I was you since you can get it way sooner. If you can get LV you should def go for that

No date sub...if you want date then go Sea Dweller, slightly larger but date with no cyclops.

Date is a classic. Alternatively if you can get both I’d buy the 126610ln off you, my AD quoted me Nov at earliest

Personal preference but date model for me. I find without the date it’s less interesting to look at, perhaps a bit boring.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
