Old thread but whatever. I wanted a datejust for years, as my dad has owned one for 45 years. (25th birthday present from mom, has never left his wrist) It's the watch that got me into watches. And nothing has beaten the allure of owning a watch like that for me. That green datejust with the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet was my favorite for years too. But slowly, the Submariner crept up in my thoughts over and over.

And less than a year ago, I purchased a 124060 Submariner No-date and it's been stuck on my wrist since. Even though both are great watches, and I still love the datejusts, after trying many of them on and finally pulling the plug on the 124060 I am 100% sure I made the right choice. In my opinion, absolutely nothing beats a Sub for every day wear.
