Rolex DJ II Blue with Romans or Patek Philippe Nautilus black-blue dial

What you guys and gals think?

Just curious how long have you two been dating that she proposed to you?

Congrats by the way.

Most women I dated proposed only to run as far away from me as possible.

Congratulations

Rashid.bk · 24 August 2013, 04:16 AM

PP, no contest.

SirGrotius · 24 August 2013, 04:35 AM

Easily the PP. Look at how it'll match that ring!

If I may make a suggestion, you might want to consider buying her something too to celebrate. Maybe a Lady's YM or the like.

boogiebot · 24 August 2013, 05:48 AM

wow big congrats sir. in terms of the watch to me its a no brainer...Patek all the way!

AK797 · 24 August 2013, 06:02 AM

Id pick a gold or plat DD2 over the PP but not over the blue Sub or DJ2.

I just hope you guys are not the same size because if you ever catch her wearing your trousers...

Roma315 · 24 August 2013, 06:06 AM

she asked you

floater156 · 24 August 2013, 06:51 AM

Strange comparison - if you can afford the PP, go with it. I guess they are both steel and blue...

ra's ag · 24 August 2013, 07:15 AM

My preference would be this....

OML · 24 August 2013, 07:57 AM

The PP is 25k+ instead get her to buy you a polar Explorer ll (white dial like PP) and the other genta design the AP RO. With the remaining 4k eat the largest dry aged porterhouse you can find hit the strip club stuff not only the gstrings and drink well.....you must fortify now- good luck.

Sprags · 24 August 2013, 12:32 PM

Give her three or four options and have her choose. That way it will mean even more to you for the rest of your life (and maybe she'll develop a long-term love for fine watches).

Exactly how long was the interval? Probably better not to tell her if it was less than, say, 90 seconds.

I'm also not a fan of the Patek, although it seems to match the ring better. I like the WG Sub if a sports watch is an option.

Congratulations!

Nautilus, no question.My wife proposed also, welcome to a rare club.

Rolexitis · 24 August 2013, 02:05 PM

That Patek does nothing for me. DJ all the way and congrats

RICHARD_LEWIS · 24 August 2013, 08:43 PM

I'm sure i'll be shot down for this, but i think patek phillippe watches are hideous - why not a white gold sub?

Congrats on the engagement by the way!

In FL, it's just marital assets and liabilities. So buy what you want now before you get married otherwise she IS entitled to half of future assts.
