Recommend a no-date Rolex

I like a clean watch dial, so I prefer no dates on the dial a lot of the time, especially on a rep, where a poorly aligned wheel seems to be a common issue. I don't think there's such a thing as a no-date sub, but there is a no date DSSD, correct? The explorer is kind of nice, too. Any other suggestions?

There is a vintage no date Sub but I couldn't tell you the model number right off hand. And I doubt seriously if there is a no date DSSD. Daytona is no date. Milguass is a nice one. Or the Explorer 1 is one of the best reps made.

A second vote for the new Milgauss and Explorer from the Noob factory are both very well done. Look at the listings by Replicamake or Time4Direct both on this forum.

Most no-date Submariners are extremely incorrect in that they have no lug holes and skinny spring-bars. Something like this is much more correct. PM me if you are curious...

I really like the clean looks of a non-COSC dial no-date Submariner, ref 14060, but there is NO accurate rep out of the box. You normally have to get something close and start moddin'!

Wow, the most useless functions and bad taste I've ever seen on one watch. But please don't call it a Rolex. Even the Gaytona is 100% better than that abomination.

Useless?! Are you telling me you don't need 3 GMT's on your watch!? You could use it for everything! Chopping onions, celery, cucumbers... no wait, nevermind, I was thinking of a knife.

Thanks. I like both the Milgauss and the Explorer - any guides on the differeneces between the Explorer I and II? I like that no-date sub, too, but I'm no modder.The Mega 4 is nice, as long as you don't need to know the time. Who's got the best Mega 4? :)

Too bad this one's not a no-date.

Trevor has a good looking no-date Sub in his section.

I'm going to order one, in fact...

Thanks for all the responses... Who's replicamake, by the way? I didn't see him listed. I tried ordering a Milgauss from Robert, had some technical difficulties.

Do both of these dealers source noob factory reps? I wonder if noobfactory makes the milgauss in a 40mm...............

milgauss, explorer I, and air-king are all great choices!

the explorer I ive heard is one of the most accurate replicas out there.

As far as your question the explorer I vs II are extremely different. the II is pretty much GMT Master Based where as the I is date just based.

Hope this helps!
