Vintage Subs vs. New Sub-Cs

I've been saving for awhile to expand my Rolex collection with a tool watch. I'm looking for something to wear every day and ease the burden placed on my two Datejusts.

Because I'm looking for a tool watch, I dive and I lead a generally active lifestyle, I think the Submariner is the best fit for me. I don't need the hour complication of the GMT Master/Explorer II and I find the Milgauss a bit nerdy ().

My dilemma is one I admit I'm happy to have:

Do I buy a new, robust Sub-C (LV, if it matters) for daily wear and make my own stories or do I buy an older Sub, save a ton of cash and keep a classic going?

I'm keen on saving almost $5k but I'm somewhat worried an older Sub's bracelet will be more prone to failure (really the pins). Is this a sound bother?

cheers
