Need to free up some funds for an opportunity and so one of my watches must go. Which two would you keep out of the following three?

Patek Aquanaut 5167a
Rolex Submariner 116618LB
Patek Nautilus 5712/1a

Pictures for good measure

5712... do NOT sell your 5712.

I have no preference one way or the other on the other two as both have pros and cons depending on what the replacement is and what you want to wear them for.

5712, covers all the bases.

droptopman · 9 October 2018, 02:15 AM

Sub and Nautilus!

huncho · 9 October 2018, 02:15 AM

keep 5712 and sub

ras47 · 9 October 2018, 02:17 AM

I've never liked any PP watches until seeing the one on the right. While I appreciate the quality of Patek, the style has never excited me. But I actually like the one on the right a lot. I'd keep that and the Rolex. My tastes are fairly simple and a bit rigid, so my opinion may not be very useful. I'm a 5-digit BLRO guy and a Speedmaster guy primarily, and I'm not a collector. Just an enthusiast who wears whatever he buys.

5167 and 5712

I'd keep the two Patek's! Much more difficult to reacquire later also if you change your mind.

Another vote for Sub and Nautilus. Take out the Aquanaut.

I’ll jump on this suggestion too. Rolex can be re acquired at some point.

123Blueface · 9 October 2018, 03:02 AM

Rolex and Nautilus.

SG56 · 9 October 2018, 03:03 AM

I would ditch aquanaut

Because I am no fan of yellow gold or submariner, I would keep the two PP's and sell the sub.

BVLDARI · 9 October 2018, 03:06 AM

keep nautilus and sub.

Totoro · 9 October 2018, 03:08 AM

If you're looking to free up funds the one to sell is the Aquanaut. They are selling over list and will fetch you a premium. The sub you will take a big hit on so sort of pointless getting rid of that. As for the 5712. Never let that one go. It's pretty much perfect.

Consider selling the Aquanaut even at a loss..to me :) Just kidding, agree with above.

XtraCrispy · 9 October 2018, 06:42 AM

I'm a Rolex fan but as others have mentioned, I think your Gold Sub would be easier to replace. Ultimately, you need to decide for yourself.

KeithP · 9 October 2018, 06:45 AM

As has been said- I’d keep both PPs. Very, very easy to get that sub back if you wanted to. The PPs howerever, rather more difficult.

Seibei · 9 October 2018, 06:50 AM

Get rid of the Aquanaut.

|404| · 9 October 2018, 06:53 AM

Keep the PP's...

That Rolex is a matter of taste lets say... and it's certainly not my taste. Too flamboyant, but that is my opinion of every full gold yellow piece. Platinum's / white golds are exceptions imo

nick c · 9 October 2018, 07:24 AM

Those two for me.

Aquanaut out.

T01 · 9 October 2018, 07:58 AM

Bye Bye Aquanaut. Never been the biggest fan. PP bracelets are so finely made.

accountank2000 · 9 October 2018, 08:01 AM

Personally I would sell all three. Pursue your opportunity and buy one or two new pieces.

If you want to keep one, if keep the Aquanaut. Modern-ish classic, legible and simple high end sports watch. Get a dress watch to go with it, and you're done.
