Hi guys,

Just wanting some opinions on which watch would be a better purchase and why. Things I am considering are:
- which look is likely to be more timeless
- value retention
- anything else you can think of

They both seem to be about the same price for a used model now.

Rolex 116509 Daytona white gold with meteorite dial VS Rolex 116619 Submariner WG

Thanks for your input!

RRGHOST1 · 9 March 2018, 08:12 PM

I prefer the 116619 white gold Submariner as I have never really been a fan the Daytona. Love that Sub though.

Sarosh · 9 March 2018, 08:31 PM

WG Sub, all day, everyday, every century. (I gather you can sense I love that watch lol)

Hmm, for your requirements I think gold would be the way to go. Day-Date will never go out of style or maybe, as Sarosh wrote and go with a WG Submariner.

With that said, if I would choose a watch for myself, as of today, that would probably be the 116400GV Milgauss.

meganfox17 · 9 March 2018, 09:32 PM

Megan's choice

A prestigious timepiece for all Eternity, an extraordinary dial that was created 4.58 billion years ago +/-50 million is unmatched and truly lustworthy. I think the Pepsi WG makes you a mortal earthling after all. The Daytona Meteorite WG on the other hand elevates your stature to another realm of the Universe

I prefer the WG Submariner.

Mick8moses · 9 March 2018, 09:58 PM

I'd go with the meteorite Daytona... And I'm not a Daytona guy. You can always pick up a classic 5 series Sub in SS to pair it nicely. Look at aphia's photos.

Maybe which I one I liked more :)

WG Sub.

619

The glidelock clasp cinches it for me

kifeter · 9 March 2018, 10:56 PM

Thanks for all the input guys! I would pair the Daytona with a SS sub but I am allergic to there band with the higher content of nickel. I have a two tone sub that I haven't even bothered putting on in over a year, and when I do, I put it on for a night and that's about all I can take of it. I like the idea of WG since its more casual.

beshannon · 9 March 2018, 10:58 PM

It would depend on what else you own.

I would take the Sub

gummy · 9 March 2018, 10:59 PM

WG sub all day...

The Daytona is cool but - if WG Daytona I would look at blue dial

kilyung · 9 March 2018, 11:04 PM

I like the size of the Sub better and with a PM watch the benefit of the Glidelock clasp can’t be understated.

GsurgBM · 9 March 2018, 11:08 PM

Daytona. Easily for me.

This, why?
Glidelock
Timing bezel is as functional as a chronograph for daily use
Still Diver’s, rugged, do it all watch.

That blue.... 🤤🤤🤤

Oh man! Both are nice but not really a fan of either. If I had to choose: probably would go with the wg sub.

WG Sub.

HogwldFLTR · 10 March 2018, 12:07 AM

Hmm, which would I use more, date or stop watch. I guess for me it would be the Sub Date!!!

c41006 · 10 March 2018, 12:07 AM

I love the meteorite dial but I’d go with the submariner

I prefer the WG Sub. The meteorite dial on the Daytona just isn't my thing.

Simon_e · 10 March 2018, 12:41 AM

The Daytona. It's hard to beat that dial.
