Hi

I am 27 and live in the UK.

It's becoming very difficult for me to decide which Rolex to go for.

The options are

OR

Which one would you go for? These both have very similar retail price of approx £23,000 and I am aware some local jewellers in London are giving some discount on the RRP.

Are there any other models I should be looking at?

Punishher7 · 9 July 2015, 02:30 PM

I would go for the sub hands down.

AS1 · 9 July 2015, 02:41 PM

Sub IMO

sickened1 · 9 July 2015, 02:51 PM

+1 for Sub.

707soldier · 9 July 2015, 03:27 PM

Submariner

Bangel · 9 July 2015, 03:36 PM

I would go for the Sub because I like it better.

For you, go for the one that you like better.

At that price point, there's plenty to choose from, and not necessarily from Rolex either.

Flex368 · 9 July 2015, 03:45 PM

Sub for me, but with the blue dial. The black one is nice, too but I´ll never understand why they made the font white on the new black SubCs.

Only alternative is to source a black diamond dial which has the gold font.

BlackBay1 · 9 July 2015, 03:58 PM

Welcome to the forum.

Sub.

whysleep · 9 July 2015, 04:10 PM

Submariner looks classy!!! Go with your heart.

Token74 · 9 July 2015, 04:45 PM

I'd probably go Daytona as I'm not sure about PM dive watches. However, if I were to go for the Sub, I would get one with the stunning green dial which is a super classic look.

Green dial on YG is only available for the GMT II.

w!dowmaker · 9 July 2015, 04:47 PM

I love the Daytona, but somehow, for a yellow gold version, I will go with the Sub as well. I think it's the bulk and the heft.

qhbl · 10 July 2015, 12:16 AM

Thank you all for suggestions. 116618 it is then.

SearChart · 10 July 2015, 12:18 AM

Submariner.

jbsmith · 10 July 2015, 12:22 AM

Sub for sure...more wrist presence, glidelock, ceramic bezel, date function, white text, etc...

Eric Chan · 10 July 2015, 12:37 AM

Sub. But you should really consider the one with the blue dial.

This. Between these two, the sub for sure, but the blue dial YG sub before either!

But what you want at the end of the day. It's for you, not us!

locutus49 · 10 July 2015, 12:47 AM

Sub, but with blue dial.

greggsiam · 10 July 2015, 12:49 AM

For me, the sub.

Have you considered the gold GMT Master II w/green dial? Stunning watch as well.

tkerrmd · 10 July 2015, 12:49 AM

like this one...

or this one...

or this as my three choices for YG...

Danny83 · 10 July 2015, 01:02 AM

Sub

mschafer · 10 July 2015, 01:10 AM

I'll be the contrarian and say Daytona, it's a more intriguing face and wears the YG well. I personally find the Sub in YG a very bold statement, it's a tool watch for hostile environments and i just don't see this fit, maybe the WG wins you over, which still has the essence of a hard core watch (somehow).

MCO1 · 10 July 2015, 01:42 AM

I would probably for for the sub out of these choices but maybe the blue one. My heart is currently set on the green dial gold gmt 2.

Jaycnyp · 10 July 2015, 01:43 AM

I'm going to say sub too. It is my favorite gold Rolex. However, I do want both....just check out my signature!

Racerdj · 10 July 2015, 01:44 AM

Welcome to the forum and my choice is the YG Sub but blue sunburst dial.

Every picture you post makes me want to spend more money!

travisb · 10 July 2015, 01:49 AM

For a YG Sub, I only like the blue sunburst dial. For the Daytona, the one that Tom posted with champagne subdials is gorgeous!

AK797 · 10 July 2015, 01:55 AM

Subc but preferably blue sunburst dial.

GolfPunk · 10 July 2015, 02:02 AM

Daytona
