GOLD SUB or Gold Daytona

[65cobra]

The suggestions of going for the sub for bezel durability if he is more rough with watches is just dumbfounding when we are talking solid gold watches here.

It’s like saying the vanilla ice cream is better for you since it has slightly less calories than the chocolate ice cream. You’re eating ****ing ice cream at the end of the day.

Vintage steel watches can suffer from “sleeve polish”, and PCLs on steel watches can completely lose their polished surface over time from normal non abusive wear too. Gold watches are like butter in comparison to steel so if he has any intention of keeping a solid gold piece in good shape, dent and ding free with good sharpness and finishing it takes complete wrist awareness at all times including no resting the left wrist on desks or having sleeves rub on it. The bezel durability does nothing to improve durability of these gold watches that have polished surfaces that scratch if you sneeze on it.

I agree with the several comments about had it been an LB vs LN sub it would make for a more even playing field, and I will add if it was an 116508 with a non meteorite dial even more so. But the LN sub and meteorite daytona are in different leagues, making for a landslide win for the Daytona.
