The only person you have to please with your purchase is you!;) I know its tough but you have to decide which of these two really trips your trigger. And that's no easy decision as they are both excellent watches imho. Hmmm hadn't thought about that...let me go back and look! Whoa!...can't go back that far! ![]()

I own 2 Rolex watches and 0 patek watches so, I would get the Patek... But, that is me. While I love Rolex, Patek has the reputation of being the finest watch manufacturer in the world. That said and assuming the price point is similar, which do you like better and which would get the most wrist time? Unlike many collectors, most of us here wear our collection, I know I do so for me collecting gives me the pleasure of wearing fun, interesting and sometimes valuable time pieces. If you intend to wear the watch, get what you like best. If it is for investment, perhaps the Patek will end up the most valuable down the road since most Rolex products tend to hold their value, not increase in value.

guys, thank you very much! I'm new here and I just have to say: this is a great forum! ![]() Of course, I'm still not sure, which one to get! In one moment it is the Patek in the next it is the Rolex! Last friday I went to a watch store and tried them both on! Both really nice watches, for me grail watches (the Patek probably more than the Rolex, because it is Patek)! Right now it is a bit more the Patek, but this could change very fast! So keep posting and thanks again! ![]()

I would purchase the Patek. I was about to purchase a Rolex Sea Dweller DeepSea and passed on it 2 weeks ago and purchased another brand.

After thinking on it some both of those are smaller than I care for really. I think I'd have to go for the Deapsea or Yacht Master if I could choose from within the brands in oh say sub $25K :cool: Attachment: bigRs01.jpg (Downloaded 30 times)

I like that new Sea Dweller Deapsea. I downloaded the screensaver from Rolex.com a while back and run it all the time, it is cool, it keeps time and date, sweep second, 3D angle of the watch (not straight on shot) ... just went to the site and found they have the screen savers for most of the popular models now including the GMT... cool! I am going to get a GMT for free now.

Funny I have the same screen saver here at work with the Seadweller on it. Grab an older seadweller for half the price- and you will be just as happy. Attachment: SD2.JPG (Downloaded 17 times)
