Your girlfriend asked you to marry her and gave YOU a ring.

You're done for mate.

Vincent65 · 23 August 2013, 06:03 PM

Congrats - and the Rolex

travisb · 23 August 2013, 06:17 PM

The Nautilus for sure (of those mentioned).
Can I suggest the AP 15202 Jumbo with blue / grey dial? That would do it!

nickng · 23 August 2013, 06:57 PM

Congrats!

Grab that PP without a blink.

Soly20 · 23 August 2013, 07:14 PM

Congrats! I guess you have been with her for some time and she couldn't wait any longer!

Patek for sure!

HL65 · 23 August 2013, 08:01 PM

Congrats!! Get whatever watch you want or better yet whichever one she will buy you!

Darlinboy · 23 August 2013, 08:36 PM

Big congrats!

You have abundant options for the price of the Nautilus, so I'd expand your options before deciding.

FeelingTheBlues · 23 August 2013, 08:48 PM

If there's no limit to the budget then I vote for the Nautilus, however, given its price you should definitely try both on at an AD first and see which one you prefer!

SearChart · 23 August 2013, 09:29 PM

Patek Philippe.

mjclark32 · 23 August 2013, 09:57 PM

Congrats, of this two I'd go pp.

Kiddodoc · 23 August 2013, 10:00 PM

I think that the new SS YM with the blue face is the best option! Not a fan of Patek and only really enjoy Rolex watches. Congrats and good luck on your decision.

Linzjnr · 23 August 2013, 10:02 PM

Congrats mate! Either watch IMHO is a good choice.

I think perhaps you should evalute your budget and if its at the 26k+ mark then I would take a look at AP as well as the YMII in SS aquanaut ect.

GL with the choice and congrats on the proposal

2nd the AP.

watchwatcher · 23 August 2013, 11:06 PM

I bucked the trend and voted DJ. Since you're getting married, you need the money in your pocket. Just sayin'.

This.

Personally, I'd go for the DJ.

s14roller · 23 August 2013, 11:13 PM

You guys are all commenting wrong...this poor guy is getting suckered!!!

Congrats on the engagement, and agree the PP would be a better choice. If blue, maybe consider an AP 15400 in blue or a Smurf sub.

there are lots of good brand such as breguet or lange. or just go for rolex

Glad it's not just me who really dislikes the Nautilus' looks. It's ever done it for me.

Manofsteelpt · 23 August 2013, 11:27 PM

Congrats on your engagement... Take the PP over DJ any day of the week, but how did you come up with those 2? Do you have to buy her a ring now? Maybe factor that into your decision too.

nick c · 23 August 2013, 11:29 PM

Pp

Zoran · 23 August 2013, 11:43 PM

Congratulations!
If you can, PP for sure!
There will be many more Rolex watches to come since you hang around here, so make the PP stand out for this special occasion.
You will also never be tempted to flip it as some others do with their watches

incontrol · 24 August 2013, 12:22 AM

Wow, you must be a one of a kind of a guy! I would go with the Platinum DJ or the 5711! Congrats!

SWISSAHOLICS · 24 August 2013, 12:30 AM

PP all the way!!

Cabaiguan · 24 August 2013, 12:32 AM

No need to ponder that decision for more than 5sec. PP!

anothernewphone · 24 August 2013, 12:33 AM

I'd save a few dollars and go with the BLNR.

Oh, and take the name off the dial and that PP isn't that attractive. The bracelet is ugly as sin.

KBM · 24 August 2013, 01:16 AM

I don't like the looks of the Nautilus (or the Aquanaut). I have tried and tried, but they just don't look nice to me at all. Above anything else, even quality, I need my watches to look nice to me, otherwise I could be wearing the grail of grails and it would be pointless. With this in mind, in the 26k price range and in blue, go for the 116619! How come no one has suggested the WG blue Sub yet?!

Oh the 116619 is a great watch but it seems like the OP is looking for a sporty dress watch and not a dressy sports watch.

rmpickard · 24 August 2013, 01:29 AM

Would you consider the white gold blue dial Submariner?

Ah, yes, Mike, I suppose you are correct. A very subtle and, yet, distinct difference between the two concepts.
