Just curious which IYO is the best daily. Going back and forth between these. Either the 116500 black dial or either 14060 / 16610. I don’t care for the six digit subs due to the bulky case design.

Both options here have pros and cons. Like to get other opinions. Thanks!

exador · 4 August 2018, 06:58 AM

What’s your job? One screams “Look at me”, the other is more discrete.

mulgogy · 4 August 2018, 07:00 AM

imo nothing beats a sub for daily wear.

Finslayer83 · 4 August 2018, 07:29 AM

14060M

put it on a nato if you really want to fly under the radar.

Bruins7 · 4 August 2018, 07:35 AM

I don’t think you can beat an SS Daytona. It’s just a great all around watch that’s comfortable and timeless.

Helmi · 4 August 2018, 07:44 AM

Daytona for sure

doramas · 4 August 2018, 08:42 AM

14060

SLS · 4 August 2018, 08:44 AM

Both are very comfortable to wear, the polished center links on the Daytona will definately draw more attention.

Colin10101 · 4 August 2018, 09:02 AM

16610 all day every day. I much prefer a date, the Daytona dial is a bit cluttered, and the PCLs scratch like crazy. I’m not easy on my watches, so I prefer a brushed bracelet. Not to mention I genuinely think the sub is a better looking watch in every way.

Time4aRolex · 4 August 2018, 09:04 AM

Sub. Cheaper and easier to get also.

bob78h · 4 August 2018, 09:14 AM

I'd like to think if I had a Daytona I'd wear it daily but in reality I'd probably baby it too much to do that. 5 digit Sub fits the job much better IMO, less flashy and less expensive to repair in case anything goes wrong.

Spoonage · 4 August 2018, 09:23 AM

They're all good daily options and rock solid. In this case I would go with whichever fits your lifestyle better.

For me I have a white DaytonaC and wear it often, but my SubC gets more wrist time. I have more use for the timing bezel than the chrono.

77T · 4 August 2018, 09:38 AM

I’ve done both from time to time - it’s so much a personal preference that there is no right or wrong answer.

My vote is for Sub. I've bought and sold Daytonas, and have always gone back to the Sub. I now have a 5 digit and 6 digit and will never be without one of them.

Good luck.

Daytona2016 · 4 August 2018, 09:52 AM

Tough call! Both attract attention in their own way. The Daytona has PCL's but it sits much flatter on the wrist and wears smaller. The sub has a larger case, looks larger on the wrist, and is still fairly "blingy" in its own way.

I don't have a Sub anymore. I'm down to a 116500 and a BLNR and I rotate both.

PS - Just noticed that you're considering the 14060 or 16610...those models wear smaller than the new Sub which has a bulkier case / larger lugs.

Frank McKay · 4 August 2018, 10:13 AM

Tough call. I have both and love them both. Daytona more sleek, stylish, eye catching. Sub is a sledgehammer dressed in a Tux.

Both are awesome. Totally different feel and attention it gathers. I was @ an Omega event and everyone was gawking @ one dude wearing a white Daytona 116500.....I was more interested in guys who had more interesting vintage Omegas (some cool pieces from some long time collectors, Omega event after all) /Pateks/Langes. It's hard to say why the Daytona C gathers that kind of attention....I get it too when I wear the watch....I just can't tell if people actually like the watch and think it's that stunning or it's because it's so coveted. No one blinks an eye @ my 116506 or 116509.

Chester01 · 4 August 2018, 11:32 AM

I use my 16610 during the week as it has the date which I use often, especially with work and the Daytona on weekends. Problem solved.

thomaspp · 4 August 2018, 12:14 PM

116500!!

Plai · 4 August 2018, 12:21 PM

I own both the 16610 and black 116500. I would agree with many of the comments above. The date is more practical and useful compared to a chronograph function. How many people actually use the Daytona to time something? I vote for the 16610.

kneedeep · 4 August 2018, 12:27 PM

16610 if you need a date, coin flip between the Daytona and 14060 otherwise.

Robbyman · 4 August 2018, 05:45 PM

I’ve got a 11610 and white dial and I flipped between the two preferring one sometimes and then the other.

The Daytona edges it for me and is a lovely fit.

Now I have a Pepsi it is the same issue, nicer sure which one I prefer but I think the Daytona still edges it.

This is impossible to answer but;

Do you want the classic Rolex look, a Sub with narrow lugs and it to be instantly recognisable. If so, then the sub because where I am there are less Daytona’s and it is less recognised.

hai.tranhr · 4 August 2018, 06:10 PM

Although Daytona is very beautiful but I'd love to choose Sub because it has cyclops, more convenience for daily wearing.

1William · 4 August 2018, 08:52 PM

Both are great watches but if you are looking for a more unique watch it is the Daytona-C. But I will always be a Rolex Diver fan.

cajerseyboy · 4 August 2018, 09:24 PM

If it’s me - Daily would be a sub with some rotation w the DaytonaC. Weekends and such.

Only one, between a Sub and arguably the hottest watch Rolex makes?
Easy, 116500. Don't see why not, it's just another watch after all.
A really nice one I would love to see everyday.
