New here, I need help ! 14060 or seiko?

Hello!
I'm a french 27 y/o student, finishing my law studies, and i want to buy a long-lasting watch for next winter, if I become graduated... That's why I came here to request advice. I want to live for travel, adventure, mud, seawater and others, so a diving watch come to mind. I want it to last more than 30 years, because a good watch worn in great moments becomes priceless.

I love well engineered machines, like nikon fm2 or toyota bj.. and after months of internet searching, I think that two watches come to mind:

Rolex submariner 14060m (the last without ceramic bezel) OR Seiko marinemaster 300 sbdx001.. I've got a 6,3" wrist.

The two are very good products:

seiko: + price / japan=perfection / smooth curves / excellent lume
- servicing 30 years beyond? / lack of "finesse", too thick.. / 316l= bad after 30years of diving..

rolex: + beauty / long time servicing? / 904l= no rust
- price / awful lume / "look at me i'm rich" style / no date


HELP ME! I don't manage to make my choice...

Best regards

Xavier
