SS Daytona or Sub C LV

Stopped by my local AD today, they have the SS Daytona white face and the
Hulk. I can't decide which one to purchase both are awesome time pieces
they also had a sea deweller, seems they had one of everything almost on display. Never have I seen a SS Daytona on display that was new
so which one would you buy ?

If you have the funds then the Daytona without a doubt. Get the LV at a discount at a later date.

Although Many folks will wear the LV or ZlV-C with anything and,I am a bigger fan of the LV-C than I am of the Daytona, the white face Daytona will better match more of your wardrobe. Enjoy your new Rolex!

Me, I think I would have gotten the LV-C anyway.

SS Daytona. I have the SS White Face Daytona and I am still amazed at the beauty of the watch. I have had it about 3 weeks and still catch myself peeking at it daily. From an investment standpoint you cannot go wrong with the Daytona. Either way purchase what appeals to you and enjoy.
