Not really « investment » material there… buy if you like them

[patek101]

Which one is consider investment material???

[cdm765]

I would advise only buying watches that you like. Not a great investment really.

I agree with that.

[patek101]

I agree with you guys but I want to buy something that I can pass it to my kids and still hold value

will this be better than a regular Rolex-like day-date?

of course, can't compare to Daytona

The best thing you can pass to your kids, are great morals and personal values.

Skip the diamonds. Best value retention is in steel TBH.

But day date does not have steel

Either white gold or platinum

I guess I was steering towards different model. But point taken.

Well thought that was all down to your own common sense, either you want to own one of these watches to wear and enjoy, if not then pass what could be simpler. I know its hard today to think for yourself but try hard and use your own brain power thats the only opinion that matters, and forget all this investment stuff.

If you have to ask the community, you already know your answer.

[arcampado]

Watches are not investments. Only buy what you love and what you will wear.

[Harry-57]

Buy what you like. Don't buy what you don't like. If you have to ask, you don't like either of them.

Its a great investment.Its food for the soul .

Buy the 40mm

[Emery]

Buy both only if they can throw in a SS Daytona into the mix.

Good idea... Let them know and see they can do this not will you still get it or just pass on both

I know might sound wierd but I'm not Rolex expert and just want to make sure if I spend this much
It's worth it

Love the watch

Not for me because I’m not a fan of diamonds on a watch, and I also am not in a position to drop $100k on watches.

But if you like it and can afford it, why not?

And thats exactly what's wrong with many of todays so called Rolex owners.

i think it would be cheaper to buy a daytona on the grey market today. i figure you lose at least 10k on both if you try to flip them after

[Trailboss516]

I'd buy the 36mm YG DD because I like that model.

[rmlovett1]

Good investment…..no.
You want a good investment….seek your, or a, financial advisor.
These watches aren’t rare enough to see any true investment type return. Will a Rolex hold value better than most….absolutely.
A DD with diamond bezel….ehhh, maybe.
Will your kids like diamond bezels and PM DD….??
Do you like diamond bezel….?
Do you like a 40 or 36mm DD….?

If you like one of them to wear, and it’ll provide you happiness and satisfaction, then you should do it. That’s the investment that counts.

DD40 White Gold with diamonds

[JayHantz]

As many have said, forget the investment part of it.

And for something to hand down to your kids, I say get what YOU like. Your children will be more elated to get something that holds memories and significance in their father's life than care what the configuration is.

[DJH1977]

If it is an investment question, don't buy either one.

[Calatrava r]

Invest your money elsewhere. Watches are luxury items to be worn and enjoyed. Only buy what you like. If money is a factor pass and buy a cheaper watch.

[Cambo]

I have the white gold bright blue dial and I absolutely love it….but for its beauty and wearability. If I’m looking for an investment, I’d be putting that $50,000 elsewhere.

No disrespect intended, but I have to ask; is this a joke?
