Stopped by to check out the other players ... The tourneau guy was trying to convince me that the VC had an in house movement =)

The PP... well, for $67k it caught my eye

The Genta boys...

I love this bracelet

Cheers!

I think it looks exactly half bad. The half that is rose gold is bad, the rest is fine.

malarky_hk · 1 September 2013, 04:35 PM

The AP looks bad ass. The PP with the blue gold combo looks classy and sporty.

Let's forget the brands and movement thing...... Panda dial looks real nice and its such a cool sporty watch. ..

+100

most people here are bias because of brand. especially PP. even PP make ugly watch people will say "wowww its beautifull"

funny, but its a fact.

or

therefore when buying a product, we should ask to ourself, is this model what we truly like? or im just blind and bias with the brand???

With all due respect you seem to enjoy saying how people are biased over here, how about we just all have different tastes? You say that even PP make ugly watches that people will find beautiful, it's merely a matter of tastes and opinions, not a fact that people are biased. One watch you find ugly may be someone else's favorite...

I like the TT Patek, I think it looks great (though it comes after a full gold 5980) and I think the dark blue dial looks quite nice. However, at that price I'd rather go with a 5712 first (perhaps in rose gold as well, the leather band is stunning on that one). Therefore I'll be comparing the Panda to the Overseas, the AP looks very good with its bi-color dial and its size (looks like a 42mm case to me, I'm not an AP expert though) looks pretty good but it may be a tad too thick for my tastes, I think I'd rather go with the VC and get a thinner watch that would be, in my humble opinion, a tad more versatile. Besides, the grand guichet for the date looks great!

hello, thanks for the comment. i just want to make sure, choose the watch that we really love, not choosing only the brand while we doesnt really like the watch

AGREED! I'm not one for all of that Patek hype, I just don't get it…

But I guess the same people who buy and love it may not love and breath AP like I do… Always on the contrary oh well

Panda without a hesitation

bayerische · 1 September 2013, 05:15 PM

All three look nice!

v5cog · 1 September 2013, 05:26 PM

I do like the VC Bracelet ... But the panda wins for me overall

.. Sorry guys but I just don't feel the love for the PP... Quite bland

VICI · 1 September 2013, 05:33 PM

The PP was very comfortable, elegant and classy.

If anything, a full RG would look stunning (only available in a dark charcoal dial)

Comparing my Panda to the VC OS... well, IMO, the VC takes a back seat.

AP really does put out a far superior product.

mb23 · 1 September 2013, 08:03 PM

VC is no comparison, but that two tone PP is very nice. I still think that the Panda dial ROO is the best non LE produced!

tavv160 · 1 September 2013, 11:20 PM

I am not a big fan of the bicolor PP. The full gold one that was introduced this year is badass though.

AWA · 1 September 2013, 11:27 PM

pp looks great

DreambreaX · 2 September 2013, 12:16 AM

in these 3, i go between ap panda or vc =)

AK797 · 2 September 2013, 12:21 AM

Panda looks the best to me. TT PP just a bit too much of a mix of colours, esp the bracelet, would prefer the SS or ofc RG.

Hairdude1 · 2 September 2013, 01:05 AM

I dig the VC. The panda is sweet

PatekCollector · 2 September 2013, 05:33 AM

Patek is Patek ...

The TT Nautilus is stunning piece even when pics a bit poor.

h999r · 2 September 2013, 06:17 AM

AP, VC then PP on this dial color. If its 5980R it's different story.

Love Patek but not that TT one so AP for this comp....Now if it was the 5980R that would be a different story!

Presa canary · 2 September 2013, 07:53 AM

Guess I'm in the minority, but the only watch I'd wear out of those 3 would be the overseas

el1125 · 2 September 2013, 11:39 AM

Hands down the TT Patek.

kkwn98 · 2 September 2013, 11:31 PM

All three are great, but my preference would be for the Offshore, then the Overseas and then the Nautilus.

I like the Offshore for its design and also for it being one of the first, purposely oversized watches. I remember when it was introduced in '93 - it created quite a stir.

For me, the Overseas is a tad too much "me too" in this category of steel luxury sports watches from the traditional Big Three. I actually prefer the old, much smaller, Vacheron Phideas.

As for the Nautilus, I like the design in general terms, but on this chrono, (1) the chrono pushers placement is just weird; (2) I really dislike the "bulls-eye" chrono register; and (3) I really don't like how Patek often make sub dials where the top of the sub-dial goes all the way to where the hands originate from at the centre of the dial. There needs to be some space in between the two.
