Ceramic TT Sub Date or SS Sub Date

I want to add a Sub Date ceramic to my collection but I am torn between the blue sunburst two tone and black dial ceramic. In your opinion which one is more desirable and would take the beating of daily use for a very active guy? Not that it really matter but in case I am bore of it and resale, which one would be easier to get rid off. My current collection included SS white Daytona, Datejust II, and Tag Carrera. TIA

Purely on ease to flip... SS hands down. But may I suggest buying based on what you are more likely to keep, not resell

They are both easy to get rid of. If you're concerned with resell, get a used SubC no date. Darn near impossible to loose much in that deal, AND it's a great watch!

I am not intend to flip but let said 5 years from now, I am bore of it and just want to sale it quickly. Which one would be easier to resale? But more importantly which one would withstand the daily use of hiking, surfing, fishing, golfing, diving on a weekly basis and would look okay with beach short on the beach.

the SS will be better holding up to an active lifestyle. The polished PCL (being gold no less) will really show the wear and tear more than the standard brushed oyster bracelet. It will also maintain it's value better.
