Patek, 5164 by far.

ts3 · 11 April 2019, 09:47 PM

Not a big Rolex fan but between those two I would pick the Daytona as I will never get any travel time, GMT, or similar watch.

RHIII · 11 April 2019, 09:48 PM

I’m a fan of both - but 5164 all day.

5164 for me. I prefer the look of a metal bracelet on Daytonas, plus the composite and comfort of Patek's tropical strap is perfection.

OP is not asking us which to choose between these two nice watches, as it seems. Or is he?

I think the "vers" suggests versus... but perhaps not.

kultschar · 11 April 2019, 10:29 PM

Wow - amazing pair

That is what I thought he was saying. Anyway, still like the 5164 and have no "feelings" towards the Daytona (I know I am among the minorities in this world).

GGatsby · 12 April 2019, 12:09 AM

Thanks a lot !!

Yes, I own and LOVE both :) - i am a huge fan of rubber straps and i just compared these two beauties !

Thanks and all the best !

Sublovin · 12 April 2019, 12:10 AM

Wow...I like both

andyol1966 · 12 April 2019, 01:11 AM

Both great watches on rubber,,,if I had to choose one, it would be the Patek,,,can see why the OP loves both!!

ap1 · 12 April 2019, 01:40 AM

I’ve got the same pair. Push comes to shove I’m keeping the 519 tbh. It’s just more worryfree

Helmi · 12 April 2019, 02:56 AM

Love the 64 on blue rubber. Just ordered one for mine

wulin · 12 April 2019, 02:58 AM

116519LN is a great watch, but 5164A is just on another level..

jcoltrane · 12 April 2019, 03:11 AM

They're both wonderful watches, but I greatly prefer the Patek strap.

ct.matt · 12 April 2019, 03:15 AM

Love the 5164A (own one). That said, I'm sure the Oysterflex is not only over-engineered but superior to the "tropical strap" that comes on the 5164A just like the Rolex clasp is way better (and more secure) than the Patek deployant.

antelope · 12 April 2019, 03:32 AM

Love it. what a great pair. I use an iMac desktop and for the life of me cant figure out how to post photos on this site. I would love to share photos with my fellow watch lovers

SL BRABUS · 12 April 2019, 04:26 AM

No wrong choice...

raclaims · 12 April 2019, 04:51 AM

While I love my 5164...I still prefer a bracelet.

comanndr · 12 April 2019, 10:55 AM

both r great
depends what else is in your collection
get the one that sings to you

soundserious · 12 April 2019, 02:30 PM

lovely pair! how would you compare the rubber straps?

Rolex Essex · 12 April 2019, 05:19 PM

Stunning pair!
You’re very lucky to own both.

GGatsby · 12 April 2019, 05:46 PM

Thanks a lot for all kind comments !! YES - both are supersexy for me !

++

Not easy to compare the 'rubber' straps - the Oysterflex is smoother, really nearly perfect, the PP Tropical is with the better look imo ... I think Rolex and Patek did both very well here. I had the Aquanaut 5065, then the 5165 and now the TT 5164, always a huge pleasure to wear.

HAGWE !!

Same here, that WG OF runs as close to a PP as any Rolex I have worn.

mps354 · 12 April 2019, 11:24 PM

Love them both

ppalasthira · 13 April 2019, 10:04 PM

Tough call! But I’d go 5164 - More useful complication and is somehow both more casual and more formal than the Daytona
