Royal Oak usually beats out Nautilus for me, but PP win this time in my book.

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool....

I sound ancient.

I would pick the Patek.

I actually also like this AP dial better myself as well. Either way you can't go wrong!

I'd also choose the AP Kenneth if they added in the year sub dial.

On the Patek I personally hate the shiny metal that holds the strap to the case, it looks like an ugly afterthought and also like Thierry Stern got a brand new metal polisher for Christmas and went crazy in the workshop.

Do you mean a different subdial Eddie? The years are actually shown inside the month's ring.

That sure is quite a tough call, I prefer the PP's dial but the AP's movement is much more impressive...

...I vote for AP!

If you are interested in the PC have you also seen the Equation of Time, I prefer the colouring of the EOC. Although if its the particular PC movement that you're after then disregard the above.

I love the EOT...perhaps a guilty pleasure...but in gold with gold strap I think it looks awesome!

Yes a very nice watch but spoilt by the fact that Tamara Ecclestone wears one!

Thankfully she is normally photographed in bikinis...so I haven't noticed what watch she happens to be wearing!
