Not me too nice picture,,
Indeed. :thumbleft:
beautiful pic of a great watch, unfortunatley i do need a date
I have been wearing this for some time now ...
and I found that I need a date.
8) great picture - i've been dateless for a few months now, easy!
I do!
My favourite watches from an aesthetic point of view are non dates (explorer, sub nd, speedy pro)
But every time i wear my speedy I end up looking at the non existent date window! I just don't get used to it in the work environment!
Anyway, great pic of a great watch as always, thanks for sharing on the forum Jocke
I definitely need a date.
I write the date on paperwork dozens of times a day, and I have to check nearly every time.
In fact I need the date function more than I need to tell the time.
I don't know what i like the most, the watch or the entire picture :)
....yup, the watch :mrgreen:
I found I did, hence moved on my Sub no date very quickly.
As ever, superb photo with great use of light 8)
Yes, dateless watches do look best - but other than the odd manual wind for occasional use I just can't be doing with them at all sadly.
Lovely watch incidentally....
Great shot. That is abou the only watch I could go no date with. In general, it's a must have feature.
Thanks for sharing!
It may sound daft but I vastly prefer the look without date, but I look at the date so often my OCD requires my watches to have dates.
Also, when I'm at work on the computer if I need to know the time I'll look at my watch. But if I need to know the date I'll glance at the computer even though the time's right above it on the monitor :evil:
edit: btw your photo looks great :)
Well, no nééd but I do :bounce: a date, just not keen on it on a watch face, no exception. In the case of Rolex it is more extreme because of the magnifying glass.
Congrats with the purist Rolex.
No date sub is iconic, I love mine.
Great photo too!!

Beautiful!
very neat
Very nice foto, indeed.
I need the day and date functions all the time. Particularly when I am at work I write day and date beside very accurate time (Multiple log book entries on the ships) many times everyday. And besides, I need to know day and date each time I check my time on my watches.

Lovely watch but sadly I need the date.
A few years ago I bought a brand new Speedmaster Pro - wore it once - found I could not live without a date (I'm old school I'm afraid - use my mobile for making phone calls not for checking the date) - ended up flipping it after 2 weeks with a dealer in Maastricht for a Heuer Monaco re-issue :)
Much prefer non dates.
Great pic Jocke. :D
What's the belt?
Not seen one like that before.
Cheers,
Neil.
Thank guys.
The belt have I got from a Rolex dealer a few years back.Originally Posted by Neil.C
I will not buy a watch if it does not have a date. I have bought them, speedies etc but they soon get sold again.
Gotta know the date.
I too write the date numerous times per day, since getting a submariner I just use my phone and remind myself to develop short term memory. The trade off , a really well balanced clean looking face.
Ah, thanks.Thank guys.

That museum of yours must be full to the brim by now. :D

That's the one.......................and only 8)

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Great pic, as usual, Jocke.
I used to write off those without date, but now these 2 are among my fav watches:
Best,

I have a Speedy Pro and have found since getting it that I need to check the date less often when I wear it than when I wear any of my other watches - I make a conscious effort to remember it each day.
OTOH, many years ago I was a Royal Navy Navigation Officer and responsible for the ship's stock of watches. I had a CWC G10 Navigator which I used a lot at sea, especially for astro-navigation - very easy to read in low light. When a handful of CWC Quartz Divers arrived I tried one myslef; but after a couple of days it went back in the drawer because I simply couldn't manage without the date, given the number of times each day I needed to refer to it, for log entries and for calculations and checking tide tables, astronomical data, etc.
I can certainly appreciate the aesthetics of many non-date watches but, in the last 20 or so watches of mine, only two were 'without' - a vintage 1950s Omega and a Chronoswiss Timemaster 24-Hour (which I possessed purely because of the 24-hour complication) but, I will generally not entertain any non-date watch, especially one I plan to wear regularly. Sadly, it's what puts me off a Daytona.
A friend tells me that no date is required as his mobile has it.
I disagree. I need a date.
In that case, I take it your friend doesn't posses a watch at all?
Nice pic but I need a date on my watch as every time I wear my Portuguese Chronograph I look for the date and if someone's looking for a response then I look like a retard if no ones looking then its a massive disappointment lol.
I'm afraid as I get older I find that
a) I don't need the date as often
(in fact I don't even need to know what day it is :( :( ) and
b) my eyesight isn't good enough to read the date on a watch without reading glasses.
I have arrived at a compromise:-
-Date watches to work as we constantly need to see the date there
-Non-date watches for weekends
Not me!
