You have the Daytona, the most iconic sports chronograph in the world. You got it without a premium. So you have to asked yourself this question, do I feel lucky.

Subs are common, plus there's possiblity that it may get the new 70 hr movement. Keep the Daytona.

richard371 · 6 June 2018, 10:55 AM

The 4130 is a nicer movement. I would only consider a sub again if they update the movement and thin the lugs out.

imgook · 6 June 2018, 11:48 AM

If you can't really decide. Post both up for a premium that you'd be happy with. See which one sells first, let the cards fall where they may.

If you can sell it for $17k and not selling, it means you bought it for $17k. That’s not very smart. Sell it.

drmizzou · 6 June 2018, 02:32 PM

Sell. Use profits to offset cost of the sub. Seems like funds are an issue to you and that’s the smartest thing to do.

AdaWit711 · 6 June 2018, 02:38 PM

Agree with others. Sell me the Daytona and keep the Sub since it’s your only watch. OR rotate both

Daytona all day.

atm08 · 6 June 2018, 02:48 PM

Daytona - not even close

Deep18 · 5 September 2018, 12:47 PM

If you can sell the Daytona for a sizable profit, do that and keep the Sub.

Or sell the Sub if you can get close to what you paid and keep the Daytona.

Or keep them both :)

DoctorA · 5 September 2018, 01:52 PM

Keep the Daytona

1665fan · 5 September 2018, 02:38 PM

One more for the Daytona!!! They are the best

amilch · 5 September 2018, 02:43 PM

I would keep the sub

brucethemanlee · 5 September 2018, 02:44 PM

Over the long term it would be Daytona without question

However if funds are an issue and you seem to love your sub more then sell the Daytona and keep the sub

Not sure why my thread was resurrected, but I kept the Daytona and gave the Sub to my dad!
No regrets!

Great choice!

Stevec14 · 5 September 2018, 03:40 PM

This wouldn’t be a question for me. Keep the Daytona without doubt, sell the sub and enjoy the cheapest Daytona ever. The ceramic sub in black doesn’t really do it for me.

Busyboy · 5 September 2018, 04:31 PM

Excellent outcome

dnutz · 5 September 2018, 04:33 PM

Good decision, in the long run you will still have both!

Sweetswisssteel · 5 September 2018, 05:16 PM

Keep both

Sub if u can only afford one. Sell the daytona for a profit

DP63 · 5 September 2018, 09:17 PM

Kudos on passing the sub on to your father ... its usually the other way around in life and I love the fact that you did this.

watchwatcher · 5 September 2018, 11:32 PM

EDIT: Just saw you've already decided on an outcome.

lenfried29 · 6 September 2018, 01:05 AM

I would keep both. Most of the replies are materialistic suggestions. You'll regret to sell ether of the watch. Sub for being your 1st Rolex. And Daytona is such a beautiful watch that you can wear in rotation. Money is just a money.

sdh1980 · 6 September 2018, 07:13 AM

Keep the Daytona all day long... subs seem to be everywhere. The Daytona is a seriously special watch and you won’t see many other people wearing them

I’ve got both and as much as the sub is a great watch (my first Rolex like many) if I had to chose only one, i would hesitate in choosing the Daytona

SJOesq · 6 September 2018, 08:35 AM

You made the right choice. I have both and I wear the Daytona 10 times more often. Also, I am not getting any younger and my eyesight is "okay" but I am not understanding the comments that "the Daytona is hard to read." I've never had a problem. It's a great watch.

lamnyc · 6 September 2018, 10:33 AM

Keep the Daytona. I’ve seen too many subs on a daily basis. But that’s just me.

ahlee00023 · 6 September 2018, 10:54 AM

When in doubt, take the cash.

Keep what you like better, you’ll be able to get another sub easily though. If it were me I’d dump the subC. Not many people out there wearing a crispy DaytonaC
