If you had the opportunity to get a 10% discount on a subc date available in stock or a hulk with no discount and have to wait until it becomes available which one would you go with ?

watchwatcher · 21 February 2018, 12:40 AM

It would depend on which one I wanted more and what else was in my collection.

If you got the sub now, would you feel like it was "settling?"

Green does nothing for me. Unless its money. So the sub for me.

+1 same here. Not a hulk fan or green anything.

SWISSAHOLICS · 21 February 2018, 12:43 AM

Discount all day...and always go for "today"

tyler1980 · 21 February 2018, 12:45 AM

i would get the watch i wanted most, regardless of the deal. Especially so because we are not talking massive discounts.

And which of the two watches he references would that be? I don't think he was looking for a rhetorical response, or was he?

For me the sub c or if available the SD43 as it is my current favorite,

How would beshannon know? Only the OP could know which watch he really wants. Any opining by us about which watch is preferable would be stating what each of us wants, not what the OP might want.

OP specifically asks if you had the choice "which would you go with"? It was a question. He didn't ask what should I do.

You really think he was taking a general interest poll to satisfy his academic curiosity about what the population of the board thinks? The subtext is pretty clear he was looking for input about what he should do.

Swiss Mad! · 21 February 2018, 12:59 AM

Agree that you must get the watch you really want the most regardless of the deal.
If you really want the SubC then it's a great deal.
However, if your hearts set on a Hulk then the SubC will always feel like a compromise and you may never really be happy with it.
Worse, you may end up even resenting it which would be a shame.

Not a fan of the LV go for the LN

PLNYC · 21 February 2018, 01:01 AM

Get the one you want otherwise you’re going to feel like you want more.

bp1000 · 21 February 2018, 01:09 AM

Get what you love

I like watches with colour or are a little different. LV for me.

X2. Forget money. You know you want a LVc after you have seen it. It’s one of those looks that will stir deep inside you that price of entry is just a minor detai in the journey of ownership. Of all the Rolex models, the old expression “if I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand” applies best to the LVc.

I'm thinking about it. And I would probably go that route for my 35th bday next march. Or something else lol

markseattle · 21 February 2018, 01:23 AM

I wouldn't buy a watch based on a 10 percent discount. I would buy the watch I wanted most and if I was fortunate enough that it was the one that was being discounted, call myself lucky.

I’d go with the one I like better.

Go with the one you like better. For me, it's the SubC but it depends if you want black or green. Buy once, cry once

AK797 · 21 February 2018, 04:05 AM

Buy the watch, not the price.

A Hulk is one of seven SubC Date variants. People seem to think the other one you're considering is the 116610LN. Is that a correct assumption?

As for which one to get, assuming you can afford either, get the one you like best. If you prefer the Hulk, but get one you don't like as well just because it's available now for less money, you won't be happy with your choice. Ask yourself how you'll feel after you've owned the watch for six months.

I’m trying to build a relationship with my local AD as this would be my second piece I would be getting from them. I know I could get a better deal on the next one
