Earlier in my life I wore watches with no date feature, heck that's all they had so of course a date never entered my reality.
I have been wearing watches these days with a date. And now and then when I try to wear my Rolex Ex 1 I feel lost without the date.
I just bought a Tudor Day Date, not arrived yet, and I'm wondering if I get used to it could I go back to a simple date only watch?

So, could you go back?

I like knowing the date, but I often find myself blissfully ignorant as the days pass by. I do have a manual Victorinox with no date, but is the exception.

Nope - I need to know the date, too. I suspect that's one of the reasons why I don't get a day/date watch like your Tudor. I'd get used to THAT too soon.

By the way...I thought the Tudor equivalent to Rolex Day-Date is called Prince Date-Day? Just checking.

Your right. Printed on the dial is; Tudor Oyster Prince Day-Date.
When I get it I can post a few photos.
The dial is bright red, maybe that's why I got it at a good price. But, I've been looking for a red dial watch for a change of pace.

I don't think I could go back to a watch without a date complication.

 

[bullosa]

I would be totally lost with a no date watch. In fact I prefer day/date.

 

[CometHunter]

I find watches without date windows less distracting when actually looking to see what time it is. And it seems like whenever I needed to know the date, the minute hand was always directly over the window. :cursing:

Actually, when I really "need" one or the other, it's probably "day". When I'm traveling for work, we pretty much work 7 day weeks, and it gets hard to remember what day it is.

Nope, don't care for a watch without a date. Granted I rarely use the watch for the date, but without one on the watch, somethings just 'missing'.

now that said it's not because I got used to a Day-Date function. I couldn't stand not having a date before I ever got a day-date model. But I have no problem going between the day-date and models with just a date. Though I love the day-date complication....

 

[Parshooter]

Doesn't matter either way for me. I perfer smaller, dress watches (vintage Omega, Hamiltons...) without day or date. That's probably one thing I never consider when shopping for a watch. Heck, with my old eyes, can't read it without glasses most of the time anyway.

 

[diver88]

my Rolex no-date Sub and my Omega Railmaster neither have a date function and I don't mind it at all. to answer your question, no.. wouldn't mind at all.

 

[skypilot]

I often wear Accutrons with 214 movements and they don't have dates so I'm used to not having a date and don't miss one.

 

[Watchdog]

If I had a choice to buy the same watch either with or without the date, I would almost always choose the no date version. I just like the cleaner look and I don't use the date feature much anyway. The one exception is when I travel, in which case I prefer a Day Date. This is the reason my Hamilton Khaki King is my "go to" watch when I travel.

 

[cohjesplux]

I don't have a date on my Daytona, and I don't miss it at all!

 

[Banker]

While most of my watches have a date complication, I’ve got a couple that don’t. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

 

[ChaoticBliss]

I hate to admit it but most of the time I don't even both setting my date on my watches. I never find I need I need it while sitting at my desk most of the day.

 

[Congeal]

It would be hard for me to go back. Growing up I always had a watch with a date and have become a bit reliant on my watch for the date.

 

[Watchbreath]

Not a problem, my Lucien Piccard doesn't have one and I wear it most of the time. With my eyesight, only my
Rainer Nienaber can be easily read.

 

[Donut]

No problem at all...I can go from a day, date , year perpetual to a time only with ease...in fact I'm wearing a time only watch now...



Really...what else can I do ? What would you suggest I do with these ...
































There are too many nice watches to limit yourself by making such rules as must have a date etc.


Cheers,
Rob

What should you do with those POS's? Definitely need to give them to me.
