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 ...

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

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

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