datejust or tudor 58

[Innocenti]

I'm looking to buy a new watch - probably an heirloom

I have a 58 on order.
but I'm now considering a datejust 116200 instead. (smooth bezel / oyster / silver dial)

I've really reduced my watch collection recently and am now really down to a 1967 speedmaster and 1970 5513 sub.

i'd welcome opinions on which of these watches you'd choose and why?

cheers

I’d choose the datejust. I’m wearing the 116234 but I love the smooth bezel of the 116200. Even though the jubilee has no micro adjustments that can be made it is one of the most comfortable bracelets I’ve ever worn. I forget I’m wearing it most of the day. Great watch, classy and recieve complements on it quite regularly.

I would say the Datejust. It is more classic and I think wears well in most any situation. Also, handing down a Rolex as an heirloom is a pretty awesome.

Rolex will make a better heirloom, nothing wrong with either though.

Datejust would round your collection out nicely. The Tudor would be too similar to the 5513 IMO.

58.

A diver is always the better watch... Both tested for sturdiness, but the 58 looks it too...

I'm pretty sure i'll ask for my deposit back tomorrow. (giving up my first in line place at the AD).

The Tudor watches will be every where soon... get it as a 2nd watch.

I agree with you.
