Patek is beautiful but I need variety. The two Rolex pieces for me please.

watchwatcher · 21 May 2018, 01:15 AM

Hmm...tough one.

I would lean toward the two Rolex...those are two of my faves.

kdqq · 21 May 2018, 01:16 AM

JCZ has other watches to fill that variety bucket.

Wow for me i would say Patek 5712 as SkyD is too large for me!!

Definitely the 2 Rolexes for me, hands down. Especially those 2 particular models!

ap1 · 21 May 2018, 01:22 AM

This is a virtual tie, if you have a larger collection than 12 if like under 7 watches then the SkyD 19 combo. Are obtaining these 3 even possible......

Houston77 · 21 May 2018, 01:29 AM

Personally, I’d go for the two Rolexes and use the SD for work and the Daytona for casual. Perfect 1-2 punch.

RHIII · 21 May 2018, 01:34 AM

5712 - hands down.

Skyd and Daytona. No question. The patek is great but those are two awesome rolexes.

antbkny · 21 May 2018, 01:39 AM

Patek

Cru Jones · 21 May 2018, 01:42 AM

This is a surprisingly tough one for me, but probably the 5712.

uncle_paul_hargis · 21 May 2018, 01:48 AM

Wow, almost a coin flip. Leaning towards the PP.

5712... at retail you will do better if you change your mind.

russ86 · 21 May 2018, 01:54 AM

Patek

beshannon · 21 May 2018, 01:56 AM

Patek without question

DoDe · 21 May 2018, 02:00 AM

I’ll go for the two

jrs146 · 21 May 2018, 02:04 AM

Compromise? 5712 and 116500?

Easy choice and have had many Pateks, get the two Rolex. Better diversity, wearability, and durability by choosing the Rolex pair. Also, the bezel on the Patek is a scratch magnet imho. The SkyD is my daily beater and sooo love how you set the time, etc versus old school push pins. Rolex really amazes in real-world use for me.

Bobby T · 21 May 2018, 02:23 AM

Let's see.......we're on a Rolex Forum........hard to imagine what the majority will say. Anyway, if its variety you want, then go with the 2 Rolex. If its based on a statement watch, the Patek for sure. Enjoy, either way!!!!!

sensui · 21 May 2018, 05:44 AM

I love the 5712a....but not enough to trade two top notch Rolex for it. I'd replace the skydweller with a nice GMT instead though.

Rolex Essex · 21 May 2018, 05:54 AM

Skydweller & pm Daytona C oysterflex over the Patek anyday.

AK797 · 21 May 2018, 05:54 AM

The 5712 is one of my faves so would be very hard to turn down, so I'd take that and then add a sub or whatever Rolex asap, if you don't have one. Ideal would be Josh's combo above of course.

K.ip · 21 May 2018, 07:50 AM

5712 - IMO just an amazing watch.

Toony · 21 May 2018, 08:42 AM

Two Rolex. Easy choice for me.

RobearH · 21 May 2018, 08:55 AM

Two of Rolexes best and not one of Pateks...so the answer is obvious IMO!

I agree, the patek is great, but I also feel it is overpriced

Yeah, I completely understand, I like to wear my watches and real world capabilities are crucial

Really? As much as I love my BLNR, I feel the SkyD would be the ultimate GMT

Well, if you can afford the Patek, then it should not be an issue picking up the two “cheap” Rolexes a little down the line
