First Rolex
Recently, I finally got my dream timepiece, a Patek 5726.
As much as I love the versatility of the watch, I still needed a daily beater. I thought about an IWC pilot top gun, JLC Polaris and Omega Seamaster. I always knew Rolex were the toughest of them all so I decided on a 114060 with a Rubber B (thank you Rolex Forum :-) Glidelock XS (6.3” wrist) Finally got it together and wow! I just love the watch. The Rubber B makes it a lot lighter as well. Only problem now, the piece looks too beautiful to be a daily beater! Thank you very much to everyone on the forum for all the info that allowed me to make this choice. Very happy indeed :-) |

Wow, that Patek though... just wondering how often do you get to wear the PP? And what do you do on a daily basis that makes you concerned about beating it up?

Double congratulations! The sub on that rubber strap looks great.
The 5726 is a fantastic watch, very desirable. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess they have different purposes. The Nautilus is more prone to scratches so depending on the activity I switch to the Rolex. If I'm just running errands I'll wear the PP. I just didn't expect to like the Sub so much and to look that good on the rubber strap ![]() |

The PP AD I know doesn't carry Rolex and the few I contacted told me they were "fully committed". So I went grey for about $400 over what it would have cost me at a local AD. |
