Help me choose

Greetings,
What is the most desirable and hard to find men’s watch, out of these 4. Price is the least important factor.
Thanks in advance.

Get the president DD40 if price is no concern. Not really a fair comparison I think.

Out of those, get the DD.

Do yourself a favor and get a SD43

You got this all wrong from the get go. You want to buy the watch that you like the most and speaks to you, not the one that is "most desirable and hard to find". To answer your question none the 4 you posted are desirable, which to me means (and answers your second question) that they are hard to find or that people go out of their way to seek that particular model. In a sense of being a Rolex they are all "desirable" with the DayDate having the highest level of desirability due to it's iconic status and precious metal and the two-tone submariner being the most popular. My personal favorite from the 4 would be the two-tone Skydweller and if I was lucky enough like you to not take into account money in my purchasing decisions I would get the DayDate.

Day date from those, but the selection of any watch should be the one YOU find most desirable. You will be wearing it.....

none are particularly hard to find... the DD due to being full PM is more desirable i would think

You should ask yourself. What one do I like the most?
If you are just looking for a watch to flip then I would not go for any of these.

Yep - many members with single digit posts asking which watch will appreciate in value or which is most desirable etc etc...

If you want to make a quick buck go buy a SS Daytona from an AD and flip it for double the price.

Do it while the market is still relatively hot.

The feeling I'm having is that its fatiguing quite fast. The fomo mentality has subsided substantially.

I would choose the DD, and also ask for an sd43 or hulk to make a bundle buy.

Option one: DD or Sub.

Option two: that Sub and an older 36mm DD.


Stick to the legends.
