Got ya.

Because the platinum Nautilus doesn't have a chrono complication.

Tried on the platinum Daytona today for the first time, was blown away. Wished I could vote for it 10 more times, there is no comparison. Those still doubt the watch have no idea, need to slap it on the wrist and vote again.

The Patek has that unusual "Doctor's Watch" pulse counting scale on the chapter ring. If you are a health care professional that makes a lot of sense. If not, I find it weird to wear.

So, I'd go Platty Daytona unless you are a doctor and then it's Patek.

A.Sharp · 1 December 2013, 02:31 PM

Daytona for me.

polarinda · 1 December 2013, 05:14 PM

Pp without doubt

daytona

Racerdj · 2 December 2013, 01:42 AM

The Platinum Daytona is my selection!

Trurolexer · 2 December 2013, 02:17 AM

Patek.

vacheroyale · 14 December 2013, 03:18 PM

I would take the 5170 anyday

Presa canary · 14 December 2013, 03:36 PM

Flip the 5170 over on it's belly. Take a look at it's guts. Have your local watch guy take the back off the p daytona. Take a look. End of discussion. IMO of course

elcompa · 14 December 2013, 04:02 PM

Very different watches. I'd go with the Patek, in this case.

DreambreaX · 14 December 2013, 10:51 PM

daytona much more cool and elegant regardless the brand.

speedy_master1 · 14 December 2013, 11:33 PM

Patek.

Thanks Gary!

Out if those two watches the Daytona totally kills that Patek - it's not even close. Kens Daytona is ice cool that Patek is just not in same league heck it not even in the same game!
