If the DeepSea fits your wrist, I'd go with that.

I'd go with a Patek Aquanat Travel Time. All beautiful watches, but how often do you see a Patek?

Like you said, depends on how the DSSD will look! I'm also leaning toward the 2 Rolexes.

I like the Rolex Pair - PP seems a little to dressy - I like diver / sport watches better. Just my opinion. They are all really nice!!!

You've got the 116600 which is an amazing all-rounder.

Go for the 5711.

Since you already have the SD 4000 like someone has mentioned, I would go for the PP.

As fine as 5711 is, I would still go with the Rolex duo 10000%

Given what you have, Nautilus without hesitation. If the question were "only these two or only that one", it would be closer for me.

These for me... Unless it is a different Patek. That Patek is too simple for me.

I'd go Rolex. For some reason, I can't look at the PP dial without thinking aluminum siding.

Difficult choice.

For me, buying two in one go doesn't work, regardless of budget, so I would get the PP, then circle back in the future.

Unless the Nautilus is a must have, than the Rolex duo.

Love the range more than any other but that Patek is simply perfection in a sport watch design

Unless it is a complication my personal preference would be Rolex. But then, that is a completely different price point.

They are totally different watches.... While I love and enjoy all my Rolex watches, if I really had to choose then it would have to be a Patek!
