I have had a datejust 116234 with white face and roman numerals on an oyster band for a few months. I do like the watch, but I also have a speedmaster pro which has been getting the most wrist time. The datejust seems to be a bit too formal with the polished center links. Would you trade the datejust for a submariner 16610 from 2008? Would the sub hold its value as opposed to the datejust?

Thanks for your input.

Yes I would do that trade as the submariner can be worn anywhere for any occasion and yes the sub will hold value better than a datejust.you can't go wrong with a sub,if your gonna have one rolex it should be a sub.

Trade for the watch you like best and will want to wear most vs what will have resale value.

IMO

Resale value is not my biggest concern, just curious. A beautiful watch sitting in its box more than it should is. Thank you.

I would trade the Speedmaster toward the Sub and keep the DJ.

Jsan20 · 28 November 2012, 12:48 PM

Trade for a subc

43builder · 28 November 2012, 12:48 PM

i would make that trade - the sub is a better watch over time anyway.

Do it

airchitect · 28 November 2012, 01:04 PM

Speedy Pro - iconic
Sub - Iconic
Datejust - wonderful, but run of the mill.

I think you have summed it up nicely. There's a sub in my future. Thank you!

BCNJ · 29 November 2012, 01:27 AM

Yes. trade it!

financeman · 29 November 2012, 01:32 AM

I would trade for sure. The sub is a watch that can be dressed up or down. Ultimately, you have to do what you think is best.

Gotcha.

I like my similar DJ, but in your case I would trade.

capote · 29 November 2012, 01:45 AM

Trade if you prefer the Sub, however I say the DJ is more versitile.

chazha · 29 November 2012, 01:46 AM
