If you had to choose one?

[kifeter]

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]

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

[Sarosh]

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.

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.

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.

The glidelock clasp cinches it for me

This^

No contest.

[kifeter]

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]

It would depend on what else you own.

I would take the Sub

[gummy]

WG sub all day...

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

[kilyung]

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

[GsurgBM]

Daytona. Easily for me.

116619>116509

[dr35mm]

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.

[Gharddog03]

Wg

[chevy9]

WG Sub.

[HogwldFLTR]

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

[c41006]

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

[mlgonal]

Daytona hands down!

[jrs146]

Sub!!

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

[Simon_e]

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