If equal condition I go for the Seamaster but the patina is a little too much so I end up with the sub.
Rolex because the condition relative to other Subs is much better than the Seamaster relative to other Seamasters. Patina on the Seamaster is a bit too much, and prefer the no-date version (as has previously been said). Sub has a nice lightly ghosted bezel that still has its pip, good even patina, and nice gilt dial. Out of curiosity, are these being offered for anywhere near the same price?
