All

Put simply, what would you choose between the Submariner C VS the Daytona C.

One watch choice!

swils8610 · 20 April 2017, 06:32 AM

If you get Daytona C I'd grab it. Asap.

Agreed.

Guess it depends on the context of the question...if you're being offered these two pieces and you can only pick one, then definitely the Daytona. There are waiting lines the world over for this watch.

Now if you mean getting a sub now or joining one of said waiting lists for who knows how long...then the sub.

I'd take the Daytona, sell it, then buy the Sub!

Lol... yea that

HogwldFLTR · 20 April 2017, 06:35 AM

The sub was uncomfortable for me thus the Daytona C. The DC is just so unavailable and by so many desirable. I know there is a lot of discussion on the phenomena. Is there something in the build that makes it so difficult to supply? If so it can only be in the complication. Case, crystal, face, and hands all seem relatively accessible.

The SS Daytona are artificially limited by Rolex and always has been since the beginning and is their flagship sports model like the DD is their flagship dress watch. You can walk into nearly any AD and find TT and at least a couple of YG,WG or RG Daytonas. It all has to do with perceived exclusivity. There is nothing more complicated about fitting a 4130 in the same 17 yr old case and adding a ceramic bezel. They don't have problems supplying other SS ceramic watches.

From what I've observed it seems like people are selling a lot more black dial Daytonas than white dials. I don't know if the color production is 50/50 or if people who get the white are more likely to keep it but going from what I see it's like 60/40 black/white in the GM. $15.5k-16k lowest prices for black and $17.5k-18k lowest prices for white.

Joearch · 20 April 2017, 06:38 AM

If you only the SubC. If multiple watches to wear then Day C

Etschell · 20 April 2017, 06:45 AM

Subc, price isn't equal.

Skittman · 20 April 2017, 06:58 AM

Irrespective of price point, demand etc. The daytona is, for me, far more comfortable and pleasurable to wear.

The sub is my overall favourite watch but if the opportunity to have a ceramic daytona presented itself, I just wouldn't be able to pass it by.

Racerdj · 20 April 2017, 07:19 AM

Naturally I voted for the Daytona but if a date is needed....go with the Sub!

Err, that's not the Sub C, fwiw. Maybe Sub Date C.

I assumed that Sub C for this poll could be 114060, 116610LN, or 116610LV and the Daytona C to be the SS white or black dial. If we're talking 114060 only, then my vote definitely gets changed to a black dial 116500

Sub for me, I have no use for the chrono complication, and I find the Daytona difficult to read. I will say, it looks fantastic in pictures though

mailman · 20 April 2017, 08:48 AM

Daytona as long as it's at MSRP.

Daytona C ��

beshannon · 21 April 2017, 01:09 AM

That would depend on what I already owned and whether I wanted a dive watch or a chronograph.

Two very different watches, that is why I own both.

904VT · 21 April 2017, 02:11 AM

For only one watch I go Sub C because of brushed center links, Glidelock, and Date function
