The Rolex is a tank in terms of daily wear!!
Would go 116619!

jjnd08 · 5 January 2014, 02:20 PM

I would go precious metal. White sub for me.

jimmypark54 · 5 January 2014, 02:25 PM

5712 all the way!!! but i say go for the 5980!!! :) good luck brotha

AAP8 · 5 January 2014, 02:51 PM

WG Sub if you plan to wear it regularly ... Patek if it's a part of a good rotation of watches. I find that my dad's Patek is just not as solid as my Rolex. For him, it is a watch that he wears 1 or 2 times a month, his daily watch is a G-Shock as his businesses are not in great neighborhoods ...

Shikar · 5 January 2014, 04:55 PM

I can answer that from personal experience....BOTH!! :-)

Patek Philippe 5712 for me

AK797 · 5 January 2014, 06:36 PM

5712 for me, for Rolex I prefer the YG GMTc or RG Daytona.

Fiery · 5 January 2014, 06:38 PM

If I were looking for a sports watch, then Sub-C. If I were looking for a sporty elegant watch, then Nautilus (or AP Royal Oak) all the way. Although I'd much rather pick the 5711, 5726 or 5980, on the basis that I prefer symmetry :)

Bangel · 5 January 2014, 07:56 PM

On looks alone, the WG Sub.

travisb · 5 January 2014, 08:06 PM

The Sub is clearly the sportier of the two, and the 5712 will dress up nicer.
Depends on your lifestyle and what other watches you might have.
I love the WG Sub, but in this choice I would get the 5712 and add a SS Sub for back up. Win / win.

venom43 · 5 January 2014, 08:07 PM

I'd go patek in a heartbeat...My next big watch is the 5712r... It's just that my rolex grail had to come first.

I thought your Daytona was your grail?

TempoKing · 5 January 2014, 08:49 PM

I'll take the Rolex

Nidal · 5 January 2014, 10:07 PM

Rolex is more watch for the money IMO. Pp is a different caliber

mjclark32 · 5 January 2014, 10:13 PM

Not sure about the PP, but you can get the sub for around $25k

1William · 5 January 2014, 10:36 PM

WG Sub. Try them both on and you will know.

SearChart · 5 January 2014, 10:45 PM

PP of course!

HL65 · 5 January 2014, 10:47 PM

WG Sub of course in a half a heartbeat!

beshannon · 5 January 2014, 10:52 PM

I would take the Patek in a heartbeat

jcd · 6 January 2014, 12:37 AM

WG Sub

I'm not a fan of the unbalanced dial on the 5712.

eeh100773 · 6 January 2014, 01:36 AM

116619 all day everyday. That Sub is off the charts.

Good luck in your decision. Be sure to update us and post some shots.
