Patek 5146G vs. Daytona 116519LN
As a 40th birthday present to myself...which would you choose?
And I understand that they're drastically different watches...but a similar price when the PP is certified pre-owned and the Daytona is BNIB. I don't have any "holes" in my collection; i.e. it's not that a I need a dress watch vs. a sport watch. I do have a Rolex already; but no PP currently. I'm tall and have big hands/wrists--so never been a huge dress watch fan, but also (despite the old Panerai) I don't like the XL over-sized trend of the past several years either. |

The Rolex. I’d just be more worry free wearing it. I’d answer differently if we r talking 5205g13
5164 vs. 519 is a nice matchup - similar color schemes. I have both and not sure which I’d get rid of if forced. Premium on the 64 is enticing actually as probably don’t need both |

Not a Rolex fan and never owned one but between those two I'd pick that Daytona.

I want to upgrade to the PP game, however between this comparison I'd go with the Daytona by a mile.
Different use watches in my opinion. |

5146G - especially if you get the gold bracelet

They're just such different watches. I really can't compare them. I think the 5146 is such a classic but it doesn't seem to fare well from a value preservation perspective, for whatever reason.

Hard to choose because they're so different, so why not both?
I have a 5146G and steel Daytona and like both. Not sure about a Daytona on a rubber strap, so I'm leaning towards the 5146G. Can you get the white gold, blue dial? That's a beautiful Daytona. Also since you mention you have large wrists, make sure you try the 5146G first, I would describe it as a small watch compared to a Rolex. |

Thanks--and agreed. Here's the 5146 on my wrist--looks and a feels pretty good. @Both: My wife would freak out. @WG/Blue Daytona: Difficult to come by, almost as bad as the YG/Green. @5146G Value: I find that pre-owned they seem to stabilize in the $27K-$30K US range. Large drop from new. @5164A: Grail watch. One day. |

I personally would wear the Daytona monumentally more, even though the Patek is a more impressive watch overall.

Support 5146G. A more refined watch as compared to Daytona.

Daytona. Not really a fan of the 5146 and love the panda dial on the Daytona.
