Submariner - Date or no date
I'm looking at buying my first Submariner (plain steel one, black dial), from the early-mid 00s, but I'm torn between date or no date. I think I prefer it without the date, but was wondering if one if definitely better to buy than the other? Also the no date one I have seen doesn't have the 'superlative chronometer officially certified' bit on the dial. Is that a major issue or not?
I would appreciate any comment on this to help me decide.

I've owned multiple Subs and a Sea Dweller...
I've recently retired and just purchased a new COSC 14060M as a present to myself. Since most of my days are all mine, I could care less what date it is. When I worked in a professional environment, knowing the date was as important as knowing the time. I...
can't go wrong
either watch you get, date or ND, they are both great. I ended up buying both in the end. Only the newest ND subs have the CSOC writing on the dial. Some prefer without as it makes for a cleaner look.
you _may_ get use to having no date...!
prior to getting my sub, i had been very very adamant about having the day and date on my watches; a date at minimum. in fact, triple date preferred and perpetual calendar always if i had it my way... as a corollary, i had dismissed any thoughts of ever o...
