Ive got a budget of 5k to get a Rolex, what model would you hunt for?

Get a LNIB Sub No date or a slightly used, older Sub Date?

Any recommendation is well appreciated!!

Any of the watches you listed will be fine and with Rolex there is no best as basically most share the same or a movement based on the cal 3135..So its all down do you want a date function, or do you want a watch like the SD with a greater pressure rating the watch you choose that will be the best..

Flip a coin if you must,the two are the same watch except for the date function.

Sub ND or SD 16600

Not that it matters! They are all great watches!!!

Try them on and follow your gut feeling!!

It just depends on which one you prefer.

Sounds like a coin-flip to me, you can't go wrong either way

Buy the one you like the most . . . since you are going to wear it !

Unless you're going to send it to me ;-)
