Batgirl Vs Sub date Vs Panda Daytona

Hi folks

Hope everyone is well

I currently have the batgirl and considering either going back to a brand new sub date with cash my way approx £2k or going to a panda and chucking in approx £8k

I need to decide which way to go, keep batgirl, or move to sub or panda and then be done with my decision.

The batgirl I like but feel sub looks classier but then also maybe more plain/ boring? And it’s hard to get exact adjustment without glidelock

Sub is a great GADA watch, but is bat more special? And panda, what about that? Could that be the best all round?

These are all great Rolex sports models. I don’t think anyone can answer your questions but you. Good luck with your choice!

Personally, with all your doubts, I would just stay put and enjoy my BLNR on jubilee.

GMT > Sub > Daytona

All are great options.

I have both a Submariner and a BLNR. Personally, I think that the BLNR feels more special to wear, but I find that the brushed centre links of the Sub are more practical for heavy wear.

A Sub and BLNR on Jubilee are a great sports watch pairing - and two watches for (about) the same price as a Daytona. Why not get both..!

Upgrade to a 126518 or 126519 at retail that’s a Daytona OF with the glide lock. If you are going to upgrade to a Daytona upgrade to this one. Especially if you can get one at retail.

I agree with this advice ^^^.

I wouldn’t change it up unless you feel strongly about the other choices
