Bumblebee vs Red Sub
So What would you choose?
Same value watches. Red Sub all original, in an like NOS condition! Don’t think I’ve ever seen one as nice.

The red sub hands down. NOS condition red sub for bumblebee price? Point me in that direction if you pass! Unless I'm way out of touch with bumblebee prices.

I love AP but the bumblebee doesn't do it for me, too much yellow. I love the End of Days though so I do like yellow and black.

Love APs as well but I prefer the Sub, especially the SD43, easily over the bumble which is just too small and gimmicky for me personally.

red sub
i've never really liked the bumblebee... a bit too sporty, not as versatile |

I assumed red sub to mean 1680 red...likely MKIII-MKV.

I too am lost. I automatically assumed red sub to be a red submariner...or red subdials, but I'm not sure either of these is the topic of discussion. Someone then posted a link of a diver with a redline. Can someone clarify?

I’m talking about the Rolex 1680 Red Submariner.
Not the Audemars Scuba.

The way I see it the red sub is more of a collectors/vintage item that will hold value much better than the AP. However the red sub isn't gonna match that lambo with yellow stitching on its seats as well as the bumblebee!
Good luck! |

Yes, I don't need to worry about the yellow stitching on a Lambo.

I would choose the Bumblebee, a friend of mine just got one, and it is just more original than a sub, whichever sub, and AP is something else than Rolex, but he lives in Phuket, and dresses sport/casual, so no problem for him to wear it all the time, he has a white dial Milgauss when he needs something more discrete...

Clearly you don't understand the significance of vintage.. These vintage rolex sports pieces have paved the way in terms of looks and functionality for the modern day pieces that are out today... A vintage sub is as original as it gets. |

So... I made my choice.
Pretty nice one if you ask me. Can't believe the condition of this 3,1M serial case!!!
