As part of a collection...6-8 Rolex, that includes SS, PT, WG, and YG. Would you have 2 Submariners (1680 red & Smurf) or Patek 5712 1A ?
Just getting thought from my Rolex friends and fan base......thanks as always

Sarosh · 9 October 2018, 07:59 AM

I LOVE the white gold sub. BUT that Patek is truly something beyond special.

fskywalker · 9 October 2018, 07:59 AM

Think would rather have the Smurf AND the red Sub

I did not vote because I would rather have the sub red and a "lesser" Nautilus

Cru Jones · 9 October 2018, 08:18 AM

5712 without a second’s hesitation for me.

nick c · 9 October 2018, 08:21 AM

Sub 1680 and Patek, will be my choice, good luck Richard.

JayHantz · 9 October 2018, 08:21 AM

I agree the Patek is something special, but I think I would rather have the two Subs (especially one in PM). Maybe add a simple Nautilus later on?

prakhon · 9 October 2018, 09:56 AM

Released under any other brand name, I’d hazard to say the Patel would be regarded as poor design. Flame away...

I agree. I'm as much as a flipper as anyone on the planet, but when you're talking about getting rid of something that's out of production, then I think that merits a little more caution...an extra layer of security, if you will.

The Argonaut · 9 October 2018, 10:09 AM

Unlike many here, I'n not a huge fan of the Nautilus watch. However, for the price, I'd add more to the pot and pick up a 5320G. Sorted.

ap1 · 9 October 2018, 10:39 AM

This one is too easy. 5712

lenfried29 · 9 October 2018, 10:47 AM

why would you need to subs?

No one “needs” two subs, and they are indeed two Submariners....but they are two very different pieces...in MANY WAYS

Thanks All!

huncho · 9 October 2018, 11:15 AM

5712 100%

Old Geezer · 9 October 2018, 11:17 AM

The Patek is stunning but I prefer the looks of the subs. Me, I’d stay with the subs.

A Patek is a Patek is a Patek so tough to ever "dis" one, but all day long the Subs look better than the 5712 and you have the variety of two that make you happy. Depends on how attached you are to the 5712 (a gift? a lucky purchase? a whim?, all depends).

FirstF80InSpace · 9 October 2018, 11:36 AM

My thoughts are no matter how nice a single watch is, you will get bored of it eventually. So my vote is for the variety pack of Rolexes.

Mr Kram · 9 October 2018, 11:38 AM

subs for me only because I do not like the nautilus line.

Kyle3130 · 9 October 2018, 12:50 PM

2 subs, easy choice for me. I don’t care for th cluttered dial of the 5712. If it were a 5711 white dial, I would choose that.

Helmi · 9 October 2018, 01:22 PM

5712 in a heart beat. But ideally keep the red sub , and sell the sumrf +cash for the 5712

Rodolfo_4 · 9 October 2018, 01:31 PM

You have to try the patek on

I thought I wanted one, until I tried it on

It took me 2 seconds to know it is just not my thaaang

It is easy to fall, with all the hype

traf · 9 October 2018, 01:40 PM

5712 all day long

In a vacuum the subs. In the context of your collection, the Patek.

superstarmar · 9 October 2018, 01:59 PM

Keep what you have ... Patek is overrated...

Seriously, that's my vote... As much as I love that

Thanks. I’ve had the strap option Pateks, but never a Nautilus

I do love the 5712, and I'd take that over two subs even as a one and only... altho I'd def add a subc at the first chance, green in my case.

Patek is doing impressively well on this forum's vote. Kudos to members here, not a fan boy club.

zengineer · 9 October 2018, 10:03 PM

I know where we are but a 10 watch collection with more than 5 of one brand seems to ignore 99% of the great watches out there. JLC, PP, Grand Seiko, ALS, and a dozen others deserve a look when you spend hundreds of thousands to build a collection.
