Patek. Although I'd go 5711 or 5726.

Roller07 · 6 January 2014, 02:24 AM

116619 gets my vote. The Nautilus does nothing for me.

Le Chef · 6 January 2014, 03:25 AM

I can't see the point of a wg or any precious metal Rolex when you get the same movement in the ss version. It's a bit like putting whitewall tires and a vinyl roof on a Chevy.

Well I think my Chevy's with vinyl roofs and whitewall tires looks damn good!

as much of a rolex fan as i am ....... i would have to that PP.... it hurts me to say it , but i have to!! lol

kilyung · 6 January 2014, 04:04 AM

I went WG SubC and SS 5711. The 5712R just didn't do anything for me.

KBM · 6 January 2014, 04:47 AM

As noted above, I thought the WG Sub was more like a 25k watch?

gr33n · 6 January 2014, 05:20 AM

Objectively, I like the white dial nautilus.. but as objectively, it is after rolex in reliability and accuracy terms.

Nautilus: slimmer but awfuly expensive as it is only 316L, average accuracy and average reliability (see the date problems).

WG sub: sportier, ok. But gold, reliable, accurate. It is my grail!

nick c · 6 January 2014, 05:30 AM

Wg sub

FeelingTheBlues · 6 January 2014, 05:34 AM

Patek for me, I just happen to love that particular reference.

theken · 6 January 2014, 05:42 AM

At that price point, I would choose an 18K Rolex over a stainless steel Patek.
If the choice is for an 18K Patek vs an 18K Rolex, I think the Patek becomes more appealing.

I'd take the Patek but the 5711 over the 5712.

Shem · 6 January 2014, 07:14 AM

Nautilus by a thousand miles. It's the grail I'll never have!

codecow · 6 January 2014, 08:06 AM

5712 for me.

A lot of the difference is in the feel as well. You don't wear a car. As an example the 5980 left me feeling dead in comparison to a solid gold Rolex. There's not enough metal there in the bracelet for my taste. With Rolex that's not an issue.

I'd still pick the Patek in this case but only because I didn't get warm fuzzies when I tried on the smurf.

+1

wesleyvs · 6 January 2014, 10:26 AM

Hard because a Patek is a... Patek ! But ... The 116619 is one of the best looking watches to my eyes so that one for me and offcourse the look and feel of white gold is much nicer.

Cheers

well said - KINGROLESAR agrees.
