1680 Red Sub or SS Daytona 116520

What would you rather buy? Consider the rarity, future value, etc.

I am hunting for the right red sub. Zenith Daytona was on the list but the new SS Daytona may be an option.

Good luck.

In terms of collecting, how big of a difference is it to have a feet first red opposed to a meters first?

I'd imagine the red Sub would be far better from an investment perspective. I also just think it's the cooler watch of the two (and I love the Daytona so that's saying a lot!)

Simple..... If it's your only watch and you are going to where it a lot I would get the Daytona. For value and collection purposes get the sub.
