I would go for the the Sub C, personally, because I really enjoy having the date feature and the Glidelock clasp has spoiled me for all other Rolex when the weather starts to get warmer.

Just wished the Daytona had a day/date...personally, I'll take the Sub c first (ordered eta 1month).

I'm not sure why many consider that. Some people say that but no more explanation. It has fewer components than other chronographs but I don't think that alone makes it the finest (I don't even know what is the definition of finest).

Roxas · 25 April 2011, 03:47 AM

I prefer Daytona than Sub C.

if you cant decide, get the daytona... its resale should be higher???

can anyone else confirm.....?

this way you wear it until you know its right or you make the swap.

if i may speculate:

*relative to other chronographs simple construction of movement and easier serviceability (i know some say not a big deal but i say it is as watch techs are not always as passionate about your watch as you are)

*rolex proven robustness

*and all important common perception of said "finest" quality

gregmoeck · 25 April 2011, 04:39 AM

get the daytona for sure

guyrolex · 25 April 2011, 06:37 AM

I love the Sub C, but I would get the white dial Daytona first, which I find spectacular, but with a goal to buy the Sub C down the road

axjimenez · 25 April 2011, 07:42 AM

Personal taste would make me lean towards the Sub C but whatever sings to you more is the right choice for you. Best of luck

no hesitation for me, Daytona... it's my grail

There can be only one!

My choice was for the Sub C. I flipped my 116520 (white dial) to get the Sub. It was a safe queen that I rarely wore & I have zero regrets on letting it go. Beautiful watch for sure but for me, the chase to find one was more rewarding than ownership. As for the Sub C, it is hands-down the best watch I have owned to date & I doubt I will buy another watch for a very long time....it's that good.

petesjag · 3 May 2011, 02:40 AM

depends on the state of your collection...You will adore the daytona....but also the sub...but they are very different. Either way you will be pleased!

drockadam · 3 May 2011, 03:48 AM

Hmm. Thats a tough one. Black Dial Sub-C or Daytona (Black Dial) I would get the Daytona.
