Hi folks.

I am thinking of selling one watch to finance a birthday watch this year or next year.

I already have some steel Rolex watches. I just love Rolex. (Yes, I have had AP, IWC, Omega etc. I always come back to Rolex. They are just reliable, valuable, functional and super nice.....)

Which Rolex do you like best?
ROLEX SUB 16613LB sunburst and ROLEX YM 116622 Platinum blue sunburst.

However, I have also considered a classic gold Patek 5196/5296.
Which one do you want to choose?

tkerrmd · 17 April 2015, 05:15 AM

TT sub or YM can't loose, the Patek if you are looking for a dress watch

tkc324 · 17 April 2015, 05:19 AM

I am going through something similar. Originally I wanted a TT sub for my birthday this year... but now am looking for a full gold piece. TT Sub is hard to beat, just love that gold and blue combo. good luck with your selection.

These choices are kind of all over the place..... If Rolex, TT Sub (not a fan of the YM's Pt bezel with blue dial) and if PP, the WG 5196. Pre-Happy Birthday.

kilyung · 17 April 2015, 05:46 AM

I'm on a Patek kick at the moment so that's my vote.

jthop · 17 April 2015, 05:47 AM

I'd go YM. The Pateks are a totally different style. Now a nautilus would be a different story...

AK797 · 17 April 2015, 05:48 AM

TT Bluesy... I hear the dial is nice...

Rolex addict · 17 April 2015, 05:53 AM

Another vote for two tone bluesy.

VICI · 17 April 2015, 05:56 AM

I'd have to go LB on this one

brandrea · 17 April 2015, 05:59 AM

Very different choice between the PP and the Rolex...

Have you tried on any of these

If it's a dress watch you want, there's none better than Patek

Have tried most of those PP + 5127. Have SS Sub and have had the old 16622.
116622 is the one I have not tried yet. It should be and feel better than the old one.

Yes, they are different. The style is flexible. For me, similar price watches and design I like are more important than apple-to-apple-comparison in such choice.

Thanks.

Merci!

Sub TT LB with sunburst dial. I had the YM, and flipped it pretty quick. I think if I was going the YM route, I would go with the classic platinum dial. Hmm....

I would tend to agree with Neil. I too have heard the blue dial is nice.

I'd go classic Patek. I really like the 2 on the far right of your picture.

Roll the Lex · 17 April 2015, 10:34 AM

Between the Rolex models, it's the sub tt lb sunburst.

So that leaves the tt sub vs. the calatrava.

That's tough, but they are totally different watches which should make it easier to decide on.

blue lion · 17 April 2015, 10:48 AM

I love the Sub, not a fan of the YM. PP while great watches aren't my thing.

jack81 · 17 April 2015, 11:08 AM

I go with this. Although i must say TT blue sub is amazing too. Good luck with your decisions

jack81 · 17 April 2015, 11:23 AM

Ym blue is one of my most comfortable watch. The case shape look like a DJ case make it sport watch in dressier manner. The red second hand, the red ym writing and the raised numeral bezel make it look more special than her sisters. Although i love sub looks, sub case is squarish and have a pointy lugs. in term of comfortable, i pick my Ym. You should definitely give it a try.

nick c · 17 April 2015, 11:24 AM

TT blue so nice

Nycturbovr6 · 17 April 2015, 11:42 AM

Bluesy is the only way to go

Muzz · 17 April 2015, 11:48 AM

Patek if I was wearing it to the office. The YM or TT if it was for a casual environment. All are solid pieces:)

Racerdj · 17 April 2015, 11:53 AM

Keep the Sub and go any RG Patek.

Tebow15 · 17 April 2015, 12:11 PM

My choice

StevePirates · 17 April 2015, 03:18 PM

The YM blue dial is a nice clean but rugged look.

ROLEX SUB 16613LB sunburst

time · 23 April 2015, 09:12 AM

Thanks all.

I see a lot of guys here like the 116613LB. I understand why. It is nice.

Any more votes for PP? 116622 is nice, but it may be harder to sell if I have to later to finance an other nice piece.

Hmmm.... Since many of you like sunburst dial.
Should I also consider 116610LV HULK in stead of bluey sun burst???? Green sunburst vs blue sunburst..:)

AK797 · 23 April 2015, 10:19 AM

I really like the green sunburst but I would get the blue one first.
