I've had and sold three Rolex Subs and will never sell my Daytona, not an opinion but my experience. My opinion is the Sub date (C or pre C is too big and clunky) the C is somewhat garish and screams look at me. Sub no date pre C is very comfortable but a bit bland for my tastes. The Daytona's is extremely comfortable and doesn't scream at you like the Sub C in my opinion. Based on my experience I'd get a Daytona and latter a pre C GMT11, then you have a Sub like watch with a little more character and a very comfortable fit.

Daytona gets my vote, but then I'm a sucker for chronographs. It's my first Rolex and I couldn't be happier with it.

But who am I kidding? I tried on a subC at an AD recently, just to have a quick look, and I could instantly see the appeal. I'll end up with both before it's all over.

I chose the Daytona for several reasons. I do want a non-date sub though.

One reason I chose Daytona for first Rolex is because it is much more rare than a sub in the wild. Sub's are extremely popular and I wanted something different. The Daytona does wear smaller and for me thats a plus, the Daytona fits under my french cuffs better.

I also think Daytona dances between formal and casual much better.

My two cents.....

tkerrmd · 28 November 2013, 03:16 AM

WOW for me the two best!!

If I could only have one I would have to go with the Sub, but admit I have both
so...good luck!!

Cc1966 · 28 November 2013, 03:20 AM

Don't have a Daytona...I vote Sub Date. Iconic...

They are my two favourite watches. Have the Sub-C, now need to get the Daytona. Black Daytona definitely looks better than the white Daytona!

Rashid.bk · 28 November 2013, 05:40 AM

Hard to offer an opinion without any criteria, so basically I'm just picking what I want. If it were my first Rolex I'd get the Submariner/date.
Daytona is awesome and I really want one but just wouldn't fit in my world by itself.

SLS · 28 November 2013, 06:11 AM

Not a fan of the new Ceramic Sub line up, Daytona would be my choice.

AK797 · 28 November 2013, 06:13 AM

Subc has the date and wears like a 42mm, so if those are important that's the one I would get.

I am currently wearing an 114060. Had a 42mm Steinhart Homage Sub for awhile and it definitely wore bigger on my wrist than my current Submariner

FWIW, I'm enthusiastically looking at the 44mm Seiko Sumo. Stuck on divers I guess

Roley · 28 November 2013, 07:13 AM

I had to make the same decision and ended up with both. If your looking for comfort... Daytona wins hands down. However their both Brilliant.

h999r · 28 November 2013, 08:10 AM

Daytona

strafer_kid · 28 November 2013, 08:18 AM

Both very different but beautiful watches - you will prob end up with both!

kcmo · 28 November 2013, 09:33 AM

Both great choices, but for me, it would be the Daytona!

BNA/LION · 28 November 2013, 09:41 AM

One of each. I got the sub and looking for Daytona!

HL65 · 28 November 2013, 09:55 AM

Both and hence I have both.

Sam Philip · 28 November 2013, 10:06 AM

I have both and got the Sub first

Talebi · 28 November 2013, 10:11 AM

Go with the sub you'll love it!

iazrollie · 28 November 2013, 10:11 AM

Daytona.

rfknauss · 28 November 2013, 10:18 AM

Submariner gets my vote!

theseira · 28 November 2013, 10:31 AM

Daytona!

landroverking · 28 November 2013, 11:01 AM

I have had two TT subs one 18kt bluesy and a Sea Dweller.
I have also has two Daytonas. I use a chrono daily at work. So Daytona for me.
If I didn't I would go sub. For me that would be another SD.
I know I'm no help. Think I'll go strap on my Daytona for thanksgiving.

Hairdude1 · 28 November 2013, 11:03 AM

Sub gets my vote

red1108nyc · 28 November 2013, 11:04 AM

This would be a great poll. I am in for Daytona and it is an easy decision for me!

joeychitwood · 28 November 2013, 12:11 PM

I sold my Daytona and kept my two 16613 Subs because, unlike the Submariners, the Daytona had no date feature. I have a Tudor Tiger with the date which I like much more than the Daytona.

aprasert · 28 November 2013, 02:29 PM

Difficult choice. Daytona for form. Sub for function

sg7 · 28 November 2013, 03:05 PM

People usually starts with sub c and then daytona later. Starting with sub is a safe choice.

I like both but I prefer the daytona, so it really depends on what you like better.
