Submariner 124060 or Wimbledon 126334?
Hi Guys
Need some genuine advise here as I’m punching well above my weight to buy a Rolex (from grey market, I know I can’t wait for ADs and their games) which I plan to keep for a long time and use occasionally; mainly for events, so I want something that can increase in value I love the look of both the Sub no date and DJ 41 Wimbledon fluted bezel Which one will increase in value the most and are there any alternatives in that price range (£11,000) that I should consider? Thanks |

Don't buy a watch because of what you believe it will be worth, get one that means something to you. You'll be much happier in the long run.

The Sub will appreciate 5% more than the Datejust, unless the Datejust is on Jubilee, then the Datejust will appreciate 2% more than the Sub. That is over a 20 year investment timeline, obviously.

I have both.
The Submariner, to me, is the one watch I would own, if I only owned 1 watch. Both are beautiful. Both are multifunctional. Both will hold their value, being Rolex, perhaps the Submariner more over time. In the end, pick which of those two great watches you would enjoy wearing most. |

Really, with those models you should try an AD and be patient, especially since you’re buying for some investment purpose and to only use for events. Why would you pay a premium going grey for something you will rarely wear? Of the two, I prefer the DJ.

I much prefer the Submariner but that’s just my opinion / taste.

Thanks, I’ve been on a waiting list for the Datejust for 4 months now and no AD will put me down for the sub. I feel like I have no option :/

they are so different.... I'd take the sub tbh, but don't buy for appreciation.

Don’t buy grey both of those watches are obtainable at any AD. 124060 and never look back.

Sorry but this is blatantly false.
OP: Try to check these out as exhibition pieces at an AD or maybe local used/preowned sales in your area. In my personal experience the DJ stands head and shoulders above the sub, but I recognize we all have different tastes and opinions

The part about watch comparison was explicitly addressed to the OP, which is why he wrote “OP:”. |

Are we talking about watches here or College football game day? Weird language to apply to a watch comparison.

But What if the datejust has a white dial ? Will it still appreciate at the obvious rate of 2% over a sub or will if nudge that 2.25 % appreciation rate. Just saying.

Depends on your profession. If you are a professional diver get the sub, anything else get the DJ

I bought a 36mm DJ (silver smooth bezel, oyster) from my AD in August 21 and was offered a Sub Date 6 months later which I declined.
I was then offered a 124060 last month which I bought and they bought my DJ back from me for more than I paid for it. From personal experience this is the way to go, play the AD game, wear the DJ for a year and think of the profit from the DJ as a discount on the 124060. |

If is easy. ADs have plenty of black subs.

My friend who never bought a Rolex wanted a black sub. I referred him to my AD and he received it in 4 days. Another person I just met is building a house across the street from me. Referred him, he will get it shortly. You have to network.

It was my local independent. I went to Goldsmiths in June 21 and never heard a thing from them. I called in a couple of times but was basically told I'll stay at the bottom of the 'list' without purchase history.

so many reason's i will say the Submariner 124060 is a better choice but it's just a matter of preference.

What good is future value if you plan on keeping the watch. That said, I’d go with the Datejust, it’s beautiful
