Need opinions …. Rolex OF Paul Newman dial vs Patek Aquanaut 5167

[Elonheater]

Although it’s obvious this forum favors heavily towards Rolex….. I thought it would be interesting/helpful to hear opinions as far as a Aquanaut 5167a vs a Daytona OF.
Looking to get my first watch and know for certain I want a Sprite, but unsure of which of the other two.
I am currently in a situation when I can pursue a Daytona oysterflex with the Paul Newman dial (black with yellow) or I can potentially get a Patek aquanaut 5167a. I only dress up (suit) maybe once or twice a year so 99% of the time my style is very casual…. jeans/khaki shorts with a tee. This is why the oysterflex and tropical band (rubber) really appeals to me.
I am a huge car enthusiast which is why I have always liked the Daytonas and I like the look of the Paul Newman dial the best. Just feel as if it’s the sportiest and most eye catching of the available dials. I love the Pikachu dial, but feel as if it’s a bit more of a dressy look.
I tried on an Aquanaut a while back and just loved it…. so beautifully understated. Love the fact that it’s steel. I know I can get a white gold Daytona which would actually fit my style better over a yellow gold Daytona, but I don’t love any of the dial options offered in the white gold nearly as much as the Paul Newman.
Although I would never flip a watch… it does make me feel good that I would be walking into an equity of $30,000 if I got the Patek over maybe a $5,000 positive equity if I went into the Daytona OF….. I know it’s silly, but just a minor detail there.
I’d like to pass this watch down to my son down the road.
Do you guys have any suggestions or feedback on wither watch? Clearly if I had a clear favorite I wouldn’t be asking for opinions…. kinda torn between these two and unsure if I want to have two rubber strap watches so trying to feel confident on a choice of these two.
Thanks in advance.
