Neither, not a fan of the diamonds on the DD, just really not my style. The PP on the other hand is better but I prefer the cleaner face of the 5711 or the chronograph, the 5712-A, perhaps? Not sure of the ref #.

I'm a big fan of symmetry, so I'm not very fond of the 5712. Hence I've voted for the DD. But, when it comes to 5711 or 5726, I'd go Patek

It's complicated.

Cool poll...

I could not vote because both are very nice timepieces and serve different purposes. I do need to add a 36mm DD one day...

I personally

the abstract dial on my 5712-1A

Make it a 5980R and Platinum glacier diamond dial DDI then for me!

5712 anyday

5712 no contest for me

Der Meister · 14 March 2014, 02:21 AM

The DD for me! I just don't like the pp design..

CWIN · 14 March 2014, 02:28 AM

5712 for me by a mile.

HogwldFLTR · 14 March 2014, 02:32 AM

The Patek looks kluged to me, lacking in artistic symmetry. I don't care how much it's worth; I could never warm to that design.

zama · 16 March 2014, 09:39 AM

I like a plain face PP, that said I would not be in for the diamonds on the DD either but that is just me.

perpetualman88 · 16 March 2014, 09:50 AM

easy one for me :)

el1125 · 16 March 2014, 09:58 AM

Patek Philippe

kmleffler · 16 March 2014, 10:34 PM

The PP all day long. The fact that your paying a premium for the metal and not the movement is crazy. The depreciation of a WG DD vs the PP is huge.

mimo5000 · 16 March 2014, 10:36 PM

The Patek for me. This is one of my favourites.

I am a big fan of the DD, but would search for an older Stella dialled model without diamonds.

duffman · 16 March 2014, 10:44 PM

Nothing beats the day date for me

zion_rasta · 16 March 2014, 10:49 PM

Rolex! More robust, will last you a lifetime, and you know where to send to service.

LordNinja · 16 March 2014, 10:59 PM

I actually bought that 118239. I actually don't like the diamond dial much in the end but do enjoy the watch overall. It's for sale right now in the FS section.

I like the watch so much that I saw your post/picture of it and thought 'Good looking watch!' but did not recognize it because I don't like it on MY wrist!!! Hahaha
