BLUESY 126613 lb vs DAY DATE 118238 for the same price

[trandonnghia92]

If I can get 118238 on grey market for the same price of 126613 LB what do you think I should get if

1. I wear classic style ( jacket, blazer, suit, trouser...) alot

2. I need something attractive, not boring

3. I Want it to be recognized as Rolex

4. I Want something suit able for Daily wear

5. I Want something that hold value and can be pass down to next generation !

Many thanks

Either will fit most of the criteria you’ve set out IMHO.

The LB certainly screams Rolex

Both are excellent choices. The 5-digit Bluesy was the first watch I loved & got me hooked on the brand. Between these two, though, I'd take the DD if all else were equal. I think it'll hold value better, it's a bit rarer, the President bracelet is more comfortable & if you don't like it, you can always find a Bluesy for sale. I imagine it'll be harder to make the switch in the other direction.

126613LB bluesy in my opinion

If the DD has the new buckle 2003 and up) then this imo

Have said this though, the LB is a 41 where the DD is a 36 so, hard to advise

118238 is the classic of all classics!!

Personally…I’d go DD if I liked the 36mm size, but I like a bit bigger watch, so I’d get the Sub for myself.
If you like the 36mm size for yourself, I think that the DD is a lot of watch for the money.
For meeting your criteria, both work IMO.

The bluesy is worth several thousand pounds less so 6 digit day date a much better buy

Agree! That's why it's strange you can get one for the same price of a bluesy...

Could you share pictures of the 118238 ?

The DD would be the one. The iconic PM Rolex.

[youneswatches]

118238 is the real classic watch.

[KatGirl]

DayDate. However, in general, the Bluesy might be more recognizable, as a Rolex.

This right here says bluesy. I've always thought the DD a little on the um, sober side (don't want to offend any owners lol) and the LB more like party time.

[ltmgeller]

DD would be my vote

[WatchTimes]

You should decide which you like more.....

[Colorado_kid]

Bluesy 100%

I’d get the bluesy!. Much more striking!.

[worldfamoussam]

No contest, the DD.

[MrMercedes]

Bluesy!

[996marty]

Bluesy for me is more of a standout

[Hardtimes]

To me this is an absolute no brainer...THE DD. Based on what you wear, I could not think of anything more appropriate...UNLESS you have Popeye sized forearms

[clubrcr]

DD, that is the classic Rolex.

[Watchmanaz]

Bluesy 100% The DD is boring to me and very common.

[Laostuh]

Go big or go home. Full PM all the way DONT HALF ASS IT! Lol.

[fskywalker]

DD >>>> Bluesey

You can't go wrong with any, but I'd go with the Bluesy.

[Benzsiam]

Day-Date is better value for the money.
