hi guys

i have a bit of a dilema on my hands, i have not been posting alot lately as i have been without a rolex for a few months. but very soon a deal will come off and give me some cash to buy a keeper that i will 100% not be selling.

i am torn between a very nice red sub with a mint dial absolutly flawless.

or a deep sea sea dweller.

i love both watches but just cant make up my mind. which ever one i choose will be kept and handed down to my son, so i have to make the right choice any advice or opinions would be greatfully recieved which one would get.

i love the vintage red but i also think the deep sea is the ultimate modern tool watch, have had both on my wrist in past and they both smile at me i so confused please help before i go mad!!!!!!!!!!:)

best regards

sean

I think if you get the red sub, your son will inherit a real classic!

dentman · 4 June 2009, 04:07 AM

Red Sub, classic vintage piece... They don't make 'em like that any more! Value is only going to go up!

pz93c · 4 June 2009, 04:10 AM

Red Sub.

You can pick up the Deep Sea anytime, the Sub you don't see that often.

SubmarinerMan · 4 June 2009, 04:13 AM

Definitely the Red Submariner!!!!

steelers · 4 June 2009, 04:14 AM

Red Sub!

kcmo · 4 June 2009, 05:12 AM

I love the red sub! My only concern would be servicing it adequately over the next X number of years if you ultimately want to hand it down to your son.

pz93c · 4 June 2009, 06:48 AM

Take a watchmaker course so you can service it yourself.

kyle L · 4 June 2009, 06:49 AM

Red Sub!!!!!

Jaboe · 4 June 2009, 06:50 AM

Nah.

I just got my first and I've been posting since 04/08.

Really though, Red Sub.

Z-Sub · 4 June 2009, 07:05 AM

If you can get a Redsub with a great condition dial, go for it.

valentine · 4 June 2009, 07:08 AM

allanofcalifornia · 4 June 2009, 07:31 AM

RED!

This may be the only opportunity you get for purchasing a classic during these economic times. I am sure you can buy one down the line, but with a hefty price!

Let us know what you decide!

jdrolltide3838 · 4 June 2009, 08:59 AM

Red Sub not doubt, however if I had one I wouldnt wear it

tifosi · 4 June 2009, 11:18 AM

Red Sub!

cully · 4 June 2009, 07:12 PM

It has to be the Red Sub

Cheers
