This or That: SkyD blue + WG Daytona Oysterflex OR Patek 5712
Cost being equal, two great Rolexes or one Patek, what are your thoughts?

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......

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

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

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

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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

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
