If you had these three watches:

Rolex 116610LN, IWC Portugieser 390404, Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211

Which would you choose?

1) Tudor Submariner (blue) 79090 in great condition with box and papers
2) Datejust 41, fluted bezel, jubilee, blue stick dial

Datejust 41, Blue stick dial, fluted bezel, jubilee

eltonbalch · 11 January 2018, 02:08 AM

I finally saw the Datejust 41 at my local AD yesterday; I’m also interested in purchasing one but I’m still waffling on which configuration I would buy. The jubilee bracelet with fluted bezel looks a little busy and (for lack of a better way to put it) the bracelet seemed downright flimsy to me. The oyster bracelet looks better (again, to me) but I’m not a big fan of the polished center links. They look nice but are fingerprint and micro swirl magnets. I also compared a fluted vs non-fluted bezel Watch next to each other and the fluted bezel Watch appeared to be larger (I know it isn’t but the visual effect was definitely there). If I was buying one today, I’d lean heavily towards the fluted bezel oyster bracelet and live with the polished Center links.

I really like the blue Tudor Sub, but too similar so DJ. Or I would get that and switch the Subc to GMTc or BLNR.

duc888 · 11 January 2018, 03:59 AM

Absolutely no doubt...Blue DJ

AEC · 11 January 2018, 04:12 AM

I'm a softy for a well-configured DateJust, and the one you describe is certainly that!

KenNethcole · 11 January 2018, 04:15 AM

DJ especially in the configuration you are looking at.

freesole · 11 January 2018, 06:38 AM

Thanks all. Sounds like out of the 2, the DJ41 wins out handily. I'm also leaning in that direction.

kilyung · 11 January 2018, 09:11 AM

Everyone needs a DJ

CPRWATCH · 11 January 2018, 10:05 AM

Easy one to pick for me .The Tudor 79090 blue wins ,simply for no other reason than I have one

douglasf13 · 11 January 2018, 10:24 AM

Tudor Subs are cooler than any modern Rolex. I’d pick that one.

Sell the SubC and go for Tudor Sub plus DJ

DoctorA · 11 January 2018, 10:56 AM

Value, appreciation and the name Go to Rolex over Tudor imho

nick c · 11 January 2018, 11:05 AM

Tudor sub for sure.

JacksonStone · 11 January 2018, 11:21 AM

I think the DJ is the better complement to your collection. The Tudor is too similar to your Sub, IMO. The DJ has a more up-to-date movement, too.

bobernet · 11 January 2018, 11:56 AM

Dj

dafuture · 11 January 2018, 12:05 PM

The DJ is a great watch, but I have truly fallen for my own Tudor Sub. A blue one would just be icing on the cake. Plus, you don't have anything vintage yet

GB-man · 11 January 2018, 12:10 PM

Tudor sub for me

osamu · 11 January 2018, 01:28 PM

I can't really compare these, I mean besides the color, they're about as different as watches can get. I feel like it would be harder to find another 79090 in the future, I'm leaning that way. You also have 2 dressier pieces, another sports model might make it a better balance, but I would also understand wanting a Rolex you can dress up.

northshorechrono · 11 January 2018, 04:35 PM

For me the Tudor sub. A really nice one is not easily obtainable and that makes it extra special to own.

On general principles I'd pick any other color DJ but blue.

yannis · 11 January 2018, 06:12 PM

I would choose a DJ41.

jw0n · 11 January 2018, 06:48 PM

I'd go with the Tudor Sub. The DJ41 you described won't be difficult to find again, used, at a later date.

Gaijin · 11 January 2018, 07:08 PM

I'd go DJ even though I'd prefer it on an Oyster bracelet. That wasn't an option in your poll but I still voted DJ. The DJ II and the DJ 41 just rock on the wrist.

Pics when you decide please.
