Old or New what to do!!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys

i have a bit of a dilema on my hands, i have not been posting alot lately as i have been without a rolex for a few months. but very soon a deal will come off and give me some cash to buy a keeper that i will 100% not be selling.

i am torn between a very nice red sub with a mint dial absolutly flawless.

or a deep sea sea dweller.

i love both watches but just cant make up my mind. which ever one i choose will be kept and handed down to my son, so i have to make the right choice any advice or opinions would be greatfully recieved which one would get.

i love the vintage red but i also think the deep sea is the ultimate modern tool watch, have had both on my wrist in past and they both smile at me i so confused please help before i go mad!!!!!!!!!!:)

best regards

sean

I think if you get the red sub, your son will inherit a real classic!

Red Sub, classic vintage piece... They don't make 'em like that any more! Value is only going to go up!

Red Sub.

You can pick up the Deep Sea anytime, the Sub you don't see that often.

I love the red sub! My only concern would be servicing it adequately over the next X number of years if you ultimately want to hand it down to your son.

Take a watchmaker course so you can service it yourself.

If you can get a Redsub with a great condition dial, go for it.

RED!

This may be the only opportunity you get for purchasing a classic during these economic times. I am sure you can buy one down the line, but with a hefty price!

Let us know what you decide!
