Lagunatic · 26 August 2012, 02:35 PM

subC date

PN221 · 26 August 2012, 02:55 PM

This is a never ending debate.

Best thing is not to think of Rolex as an investment or an item that will appreciate in value. And just to get the one that you like and fits you best

Neither is better. One has a date...one does not.

The new Sub C has some cosmetic differences. Buy it if you prefer the design changes.

Each watch will tell time just fine.

kilyung · 26 August 2012, 04:24 PM

No wrong answer.

HRV · 26 August 2012, 04:29 PM

The one that costs the most....it stands to reason that it will be worth more, as to which is better.....the one with the stickers still on it

Sam Philip · 26 August 2012, 04:34 PM

SubC date, sub no date is a very slow moving model

Monte Cristo · 26 August 2012, 04:38 PM

I think any of those choices represent a minimal future value loss. Even more so if you buy pre-owned.

Look just buy any Rolex Sub yourself like the best its that simple forget about value just wear it in good health thats far more important.Then after wearing for many years in good health if you decide to sell.Then get a good price on original price paid just think of it as a bonus on the pleasure of wearing one of the finest mechanical watches made today.

Dr. Robert · 26 August 2012, 05:12 PM

Buy what you dig & can afford.

blackout · 26 August 2012, 06:05 PM

For me personally. I work in an field where I am always checking what the date is.

The GMT Master · 26 August 2012, 06:28 PM

They're all pretty good, but if you want the best diver's watch on the market, a Rolex it ain't

Blue Owl · 26 August 2012, 07:09 PM

How about The 50th Anniversary 16610 LV?

DCgator · 26 August 2012, 07:54 PM

Buy the one that sings to you!

DCgator · 26 August 2012, 07:54 PM

Buy the model that sings to you! SORRY double post.....

As others have said, don't buy on these factors. Buy the one that really turns you on and you can't go wrong.

If you want an investment and don't want to wear the watch, you picked two models with almost equal good qualities.

landroverking · 26 August 2012, 11:38 PM

For me it would be the Sub.
Sub Date
Sub c
In that order that's if I was collecting. Now my first choice would be the 18k Bluesy.

jimbones43 · 27 August 2012, 12:12 AM

I'd get the sub!

bigrustypig · 27 August 2012, 01:10 AM

In my experience, you lose money the moment you walk out of the AD with a brand new watch....even a Rolly. But after several years, you might just get your money back if you happened to make the right choice. Otherwise, don't look at watches as an investment.

There is no right answer here. Get the one you like the most. For me, it was an M Serial TT blue dial sub. I like the deeperblue color of the predecessor model a lot more than the smurf blue of the current ceramic model. But it is all a matter of personal taste.

subtona · 27 August 2012, 01:17 AM

older models have the same movement with older style bezel and bracelet... these are significantly less expensive parts to replace down the road.

HL65 · 27 August 2012, 01:18 AM

The one you prefer!

nick c · 27 August 2012, 01:56 AM

No date more cleaner

Route 66 · 27 August 2012, 02:17 AM

The one that's absolutely best for you is the one you choose for yourself.

mjclark32 · 27 August 2012, 02:25 AM

I've never seen a sub I didn't like.

sea-dweller · 27 August 2012, 02:33 AM

All excellent, IMO.

karmatp · 27 August 2012, 04:21 AM

Every watch you mentioned is a mass produced assembly line watch, why would think of them as a investment?
