Hi James........I do have a weakness for lug holes on watches......but I am not a fan of the PP Nautilus.
But I do lust after the PP Calatrava 37mm 5127 in yellow gold.....ahhh curmudgeon bling.

Paracentesis · 22 July 2011, 02:56 AM

LOL. You can't beat a bit of bling!

I agree.

I would also have to consider the service costs for a Patek and the turn around time when it is being serviced if I where to only have 1 vs 2 watches.

I personally wouldn't do it.

I agree with these comments. I'm sure Patek is an amazing watch builder, but they aren't known for being a maker of super tough, sport models. To me, it's a little like going to buy a Rolex and instead of buying an oyster case DJ or GMT, you buy a Cellini. Rolex built its reputation on tough, handsome, simple dress/sport or sport watches and not on super dressy watches.

Patek made its rep by creating very fine dress watches and very complicated dress watches. Why buy PP's simple sport model?

Earl · 22 July 2011, 03:47 AM

do it, just do it!

ManUtd · 22 July 2011, 03:57 AM

I guess the question is, will you still want the Daytona and Sub after you get your grail? Buying those two again could cost you more. If yes, then I'd say don't do the trade and save up. If no, do the trade.

charlesvdw · 22 July 2011, 05:55 AM

The PP 5712 is the ultimate watch.

rosspanics · 22 July 2011, 06:22 AM

You made the right call. The 5711/1A is a fantastic piece though, so start saving!

HongNinja · 22 July 2011, 06:35 AM

Dang. I wish I was in your situation either way. I'd say go for it ONLY if you still have Rolex in your collection.

That Patek is a BIG grail for a lot of people, but if those were the only two Rolex you have, I'm not sure.

Great predicament to be in regardless.

00Seven · 22 July 2011, 07:03 AM

The PP just doesn't "do it" for me. I'd keep what ya got.

perpetualman88 · 22 July 2011, 07:09 AM

After doing some research I dont believe you are getting a steal by any means. if you have to add 2k you are getting a FAIR deal. GL with your choice

Kind of changes my answer...
If you're content with the other 5 watches plus the pp Do it.

Should YOU do the trade? Well, that is entirely up to you and what makes you happy

Burswood · 22 July 2011, 08:46 AM

I wouldn't do it but you do whatever you feel is right.

Watch Fan · 22 July 2011, 09:57 AM

Would I do it? Not a chance!

clarencek · 22 July 2011, 10:42 AM

Thanks everyone for your feedback. This is absolutely the best forum on the Internet. :-)
No trade, I'll just save up.

In the meantime I'll think about why I even want one. I think I'm just curious about the brand, the claimed quality and finish... but that's a lot of money to satisy my curiosity. :-/

Bless you my brother........and if I may make a suggestion.......how about a
lovely Cellini Danaos, they come in 2 sizes, are very sharp, made by Rolex,
you won't stray from the Wilsdorf fold

p_mcgee · 22 July 2011, 11:12 AM

I'd do it...wasn't interested in the Nautilus till I tried one on, then I had to have it.

Subs & Daytonas are nice classic watches but IMO they aren't anything special. I'll probably see 3 subs on my train ride home from work.

wokafu · 22 July 2011, 11:16 AM

Keep da SUB..trade in Daytona get the Patek..SUB for every occasion..Patek for dress up...tq

TimeOnHand · 22 July 2011, 11:22 AM

I voted yes... as long as you are a one watch guy... if not you will regret it later!

brandxbrand · 22 July 2011, 11:41 AM

PP or not, that watch looks like something you'd buy from Sky Mall.

patek97 · 22 July 2011, 11:53 AM

I been collecting them for years,i have an older jumbo nautilus 3700/1 its a great watch,remember patek movement and value are the best in my opinion.
the patek you are interested is a great watch to wear every day it really strong ,also you be one of the few who have it .I am wearing a 5035 annual
calendar today,but if you could keep one daytona and get the patek would be better but going patek is in class by itself .

JUSTROLEXES · 22 July 2011, 11:56 AM

I would do it with my eyes closed... Specially at the deal you're getting your 2 watches and $2K oh yeh
