Opinions needed!!

Hi guys, Just wanted to know what you guys would do if you were me....
I have a explorer 11 at the moment and a green sub c on order, I was thinking of canceling the sub c and trading my explorer 11 and go for a used ss daytona? Any thoughts? I do love my watch and the hulk but am torn because I feel drawn to the daytona ( I tried one on and it felt real good)..if I follow through with the sub as I more than likely will I won't be buying any more watches for a fair bit...also I think the daytona is becoming more accessible and not holding the same value it once did so it may become cheaper in the not to distant future? Just looking for some friendly opinions...

I think the hulk is destined to be a collectors piece. I'd get that one.

What if they have a 10-15 year run? The hulk is a great looker but so is the daytona...must admit I would be a little lost without the date function on the daytona

I think the Daytona is a bit more versatile. The depreciation difference between the two should be negligible in a few years...

I would choose Hulk and Exp II over Daytona. But, it`s only matter what you like the most, and if it`s Daytona, go for that magnificent timepiece. I wouldn`t buy watch just for investment.

Id keep the Exp II.
Sorry the Hulk nor Daytona excite me...
I had a Daytona and bored of it in a few days then got rid of it.

Keep the EXPII, get the hulk if you like but I would go for the original LV and save for a Daytona.

I would have the Sub, myself. The Daytona has become a bit cliched in steel, whilst the Hulk (at least for the time being) is relatively radical for Rolex. It's certainly got oodles of character!

For me I'd also go for the Exp II and LVc combo over the daytona. I've own a few daytonas in the past, and they are nice watches, but have always flipped them in a few months as for me they never lived up to the hype.

Having said that you could buy a used Daytona and flip it down the line and not really take much of a hit on it. The same could not be said for the LVc if you're paying RRP

I do not see the Hulk kas a collectors item at all... It is a new model and will be produced in HUGE numbers just as all other modern day Rolex watches. If the Daytona is calling you I would grab one. As for the Exp, I would keep this as the Daytona not having a date feature may bother you and you would have a back up
