I'm in the market for a full YG sports model and I'm between the Daytona and the Submariner. Daytona would either be the white or black dial and the Submariner would either be the blue or black dial. Which would you pick out of these options?

Without knowing what else is in the watchbox for you…if it was me, I’d go for the YG LN sub. It’s a beauty.

I have a RG DD40 and a SS DJ II so I'm looking for something sportier in YG.

x2 for the YG LN Sub.

If you are a Scuba enthusiast I would go for the Sub. If you're a race car fan, I'd go with the Daytona. Silly me, but I just think that specific made watches go best with their intended purpose.

What if I'm neither and just want a nice YG sporty watch?

Are you looking at Zenith Daytonas? 16528 is a personal favorite of mine. Brushed lugs are killer.

I just picked up the 116508 daytona in white dial and i love it. Id go with that if you can

Agamemnon · 28 May 2023, 01:16 AM

Submariner black

jb335 · 28 May 2023, 01:19 AM

Have you tried them on?

They wear very different.

I used to think I was a Sub guy, until I learned I’m actually a Daytona guy. Mostly due to fit on my wrist.

My first PM sports watch watch was the YG Sub blue dial (116618LB). It’s a beautiful watch but I ended up selling it after getting a YG Daytona PN dial.

The YG Sub wears much bigger and the blue dial version is very loud. I found the PM Daytona much more wearable and less in your face. The LN Sub YG may be less loud though.

You really need to try both on and I bet you will know which is best for you.

YG Sub for me!
I love my YG DD 40.
I am not a Daytona fan, I have had several (ss) and always sell them and ask myself why I did it again LOL
Really a personal choice.
I feel the Daytona feels and wears smaller than the Sub if that matters to you.

huncho · 28 May 2023, 01:35 AM

daytona. the sub is just too much in all gold imo, unless you have a big wrist

Big Tex Rolex · 28 May 2023, 01:59 AM

I was always drawn to the Yellow Gold Submariner with Blue Dial / Bezel … just absolutely stunning … a real standout.

The Gold Daytona with White Dial is beautiful, but comes in third for me.

If you are talking about the Gold Daytona with the so called “Paul Newman Dial” … that is a stunner.

It would be between the Blue Submariner and the Paul Newman Daytona for me … and the choice would have to be based on which style watch you like / want … a Submariner or a Daytona.

Another vote for the Sub with black dial.

Tona.

Benzsiam · 28 May 2023, 06:05 AM

I would go for YG Daytona.

rolex_pl85 · 28 May 2023, 10:18 AM

YG Bluesy Sub.

Its got the absolute best dial out of them all. Its mesmerizing.

alphadweller · 28 May 2023, 09:08 PM

Blue Sub. I've got the TT and could totally add the full gold. Black is alright, just not as striking.

brandrea · 28 May 2023, 09:09 PM

I’d go Sub LN

travisb · 28 May 2023, 09:18 PM

I'd take either Sub over either Daytona. I far prefer the Sub.

Bryan81 · 28 May 2023, 09:40 PM

I’d go with the blue sub. That is a stunning watch.

rmlovett1 · 28 May 2023, 09:43 PM

For me… I’d go sub with the ceramic bezel, given you have the DD with the fluted bezel in RG

Daytonaman799 · 28 May 2023, 10:06 PM

Blue sub

BriansRolex · 28 May 2023, 10:08 PM
