Explorer 16550 or Red Submariner

Hi Forum,
Wondering what will you guys prefer, the Explorer 2 - 16550 or a Red Submariner 1680 (let’s say Mk4)?
Which is better besides personal taste and preferences.
And why? Thanks. :)

Buy what you prefer. It doesn't matter what others think.

Do agree that it’s really down to personal preferences.
But both are expensive investments.
So which Better in terms of:
Investment value compared to the model/movement and demand.

Which one do you like?
Neither has a technical marvel of a movement, and nobody knows what they will be worth in the future
