Between the maxi markers, the lume on the hands, and the date wheel, I think there's enough white to match with the white font.

Have to say I am surprised how strongly the comments have gone to the Sub on this one. I am with Tom and Nick I would take the Newman dial YG Daytona as my choice. but the scratches will be a real issue. Concur buy what you like.

As a 27yr old who can afford a new YG Rolex you are obviously doing well, but the advice from the forum would be to bargain hard, you should be able to get more than a bit of a discount. I have never bought a new PM Rolex but we have certainly had post in the range of 15-25% discount. Have also seen posts suggesting UK AD's are notoriously stingy on discounts, so maybe best advised jumping to Netherlands and going tax back. I know even with a 10% discount (and you could probably get more you would be paying with tax back at the airport), about 18000 pounds in Australia, and could probably do better than that. Not to mention get a holiday in the process.

Might be, but you should compare a black 16618 and 116618 dial and decide for yourself what looks nicer.

Sorry couldn't reply sooner. I see a lot of people here have mentioned "PM Rolex", what does PM stand for?

I think I am more confused than before I started?

The question I have is, which one would hold more value if required to be sold in the future?

Porschepowered · 18 July 2015, 01:13 PM

Blue dial all day long.

Hairdude1 · 18 July 2015, 01:18 PM

Sub!!

Unfortunately my crystal ball is being serviced at the moment. If you decide to buy a YG Rolex then resale value in the future should be the last thing you´re thinking of. Simply get the one you enjoy most.

Buying a PM watch new is not the answer if you are looking to hold value. That said either would be about equal I think.Maybe the sub would give you more flexibility of selling in the future.

You can buy new but best not from an AD if you want 20-30% off, best to buy from a trusted reseller on trustpilot.

Techno · 18 July 2015, 08:11 PM

For the same price I choose DAYTONA
DAYTONA SS usually cost more than subC SS
TAKE your time. Make sure you won't regret it. Anw both are good looking

Hi

Please mention a few names? I am open to the idea of travelling outside of the UK to buy at a substantial discount... wishful thinking...

yld2rob · 19 July 2015, 12:10 AM

Ok, I'll check them out, what should I be looking to pay for a new YG Sub with either black or blue dial?

sea-dweller · 19 July 2015, 12:22 AM

Blue Sub!

Jaycnyp · 22 July 2015, 08:00 AM

So... Is there an incoming yet?

KBM · 22 July 2015, 08:14 AM

The black ceramic bezel looks killer with yellow gold. In this case, sub is a clear winner for me.

Blubarb · 22 July 2015, 10:53 AM

Sub.

Lpugliese · 22 July 2015, 11:43 AM

sub for sure for me

Lpugliese · 22 July 2015, 11:43 AM

SUB over daytona if YG. I would prefer day date to both of those though.

Incoming very shortly. Work has kept me very busy for the last few weeks, however in the next fortnight, I should've paid the deposit. Hopefully.
