Hey guys,

I am buying my first new rolex to have my name on tags to eventually pass down. I am planning to buy either a 116234 DJ or a 114060 Sub. It seems like the 114060 retains its value better and I could get the 116234 cheaper gently used.

Please let's me know your thoughts and advice.

Thank you!

Now that you are a member here you might as well go ahead and buy both. It's inevitable.

If you plan on passing it down resale, or "holding its value" shouldn't factor in. Having said that the Subs tend to be a little more popular in here and I would have to say I prefer it personally.

Sub gets my vote although I am biased as i bought one as my first Rolex! Both are great choices, good luck in making your decision .

Daytona88 · 31 May 2016, 11:21 AM

114060 for sure!

sensui · 31 May 2016, 11:24 AM

114060 first for versatility.

sickened1 · 31 May 2016, 11:26 AM

Another vote for 114060 new.

Jmals · 31 May 2016, 11:56 AM

Thanks all for the feedback so far! I look forward to posting pics after I pull the trigger on my bday in July

tkerrmd · 31 May 2016, 11:59 AM

Sub for sure

mmalek1 · 31 May 2016, 12:00 PM

Another Sub vote!

jsg · 31 May 2016, 12:00 PM

Bought a 114060 as my first and it will forever be timeless and a classic. But like everyone said, you will inevitably buy another one...don't fight it

Definitely 114060 holds value much better and likely be still popular when you pass it on

george023 · 31 May 2016, 06:49 PM

My first just recently was a Sub date and don't regret it for a second.

For some reason the Sub never goes out of style

Sub is more versatile. Can be both an activity/casual/sports and dress watch.

mjclark32 · 31 May 2016, 08:18 PM

See if the AD will give you a significant discount if you buy both from them, if not Sub new.

GB-man · 31 May 2016, 08:18 PM

Both absolute classics! I say buy whichever you want more first then play it by ear.
