I do not like PP watch designs at all so it would be the Daytona for me.

nauticajoe · 19 December 2012, 08:57 AM

Tough choice since I love the panda dial WG Daytona. In this case, I'd probably lean towards the PP Nautilus.

Patek !
Because its a...Patek
There's just something with that brand that Rolex doesnt have .. Hard te explain.
I myself have the wg daytona and its a very nice watch but i would always choose the 5980 over it.

Cheers

5980 no brainer

FeelingTheBlues · 19 December 2012, 10:31 AM

I would go with the 5980 in a heartbeat!

I am a Rolex man through and through but I would have to go with the 5980 in this case. IMHO, it is one of the best looking watches on the market. If I didn't have so many subs on my want list, it would definitely have a place on there.
Either way, they are both awesome watches

roadie1 · 19 December 2012, 11:58 AM

I'd choose the Daytona. I had a 5960P and could never warm up to the dial layout. I prefer a traditional two or three subdial chrono dial. That one eyed wonder dial just doesn't cut it for me.

5980.

Without a doubt the Patek! It's more exclusive. I got rid of my WG Daytona.

Remember - you never actually own a Patek, you simply take care of it for the next generation :)

h999r · 19 December 2012, 04:10 PM

Not even close. Patek 5980

DS_Obsessed · 19 December 2012, 04:50 PM

In my humble opinion, the 5980 is the sharpest. WG Dayton's are excellent and grains for most, but the 5980 is in a class by itself.

U5512 · 19 December 2012, 04:51 PM

Nautilus!

iLLGT2 · 19 December 2012, 05:13 PM

Patek all day

Kaylesdad · 19 December 2012, 05:24 PM

Patek

travisb · 19 December 2012, 07:42 PM

5980 takes the cake.

Roma315 · 19 December 2012, 10:27 PM

Patek...or get the Daytona and buy the Patek for me

Seventh Son · 20 December 2012, 03:02 PM

5980 in a heartbeat

tom2517 · 20 December 2012, 06:05 PM

Nautilus line overrated IMO, better than Aquanaut though. I would take many watches over the Daytona, but 5980 not one of them.

eddie_b · 21 December 2012, 01:43 AM

As if you need another one sided opinion, PP all day!

You say that it's supposed to be your "grail" watch...if that's the case there is only one answer here!

www777 · 21 December 2012, 12:15 PM

I've owned both. Rolex for me. I just don't feel comfortable beating up the Patek vs no worries for the Rolex.
