Which Sub to Choose?!
Hi gang,
In the market for a submariner to complete my Rolex collection Current collections: -Vintage Datejust SS jubilee with slate dial from the 1990s -GMT Pepsi 16710 on oyster from 2002 -Daytona 116500 Black from 2019 -DD40 RG 40 olive dial from 2024 Looking at two different subs for the next addition: Vintage 16800 from the mid 1980s with patina on indices - (this is a matte dial without gold insert around the hour markers) The other is the new 41 mm SubC with green ceramic MK 2 Two different watches but same price point Any recommendations is appreciated as I am quite torn on this I love the vintage proportions and vintage patina but the pop of color from the green ceramic is a charming look |

I’d always go with the newer reference when it comes to Submariners

You can't do better than a nice clean 5 digit Sub, SS TT or PM, take your pick.

16800 gets my vote for that more vintage look

I love and would go with the 16800 matte dial. It depends on your wearing habits a bit as well.
I wore my 16750 of that same era for about 16 years, and it’s still durable honestly, but there are situations I wouldn’t wear it where I would a modern reference. You have others in the collection so you can adjust Im sure as needed. The Sub is still a rugged watch, but as they get older you might loose some of that rugged usability where the 126610 may serve better. I vote 16800, but all really depends on your intent for it.

Unless you're scratching a vintage itch, I'd go with the modern Sub.

I know it is not one of your options listed, but you can't go wrong with a 14060m!
