Horological Meandering

Hi all,

I'm considering buying one of these but I can't decide which one.  I know the Daytona is a classic but I only like the Gold ones (yellow or white),  although yellow gets more recognition.  Patek is more subtle which I kind of like and it's a PATEK!!!.  My wrist is about 6 inches.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.....

Heart of gold apparently....Go Golden Daytona if its recognition you are after....Certainly in the summer on a hot beach....

what do you mean by the Patek is a PATEK?

Patek is known to make some of the most, if not the most, prestigious watches ever made and the name speaks for itself.

you have your answer....

Respectfully,Mo

who cares what I think....you should just go with what you like and one that sings to you the most.

I have to say that id prefer the stainless steel daytona over the nautilus any day.

Now... the choice of purchase is up to you, all that matters is what you like

Rolex daytona? Buy a Zenith "el primero", cheaper!!!, patek nautilus, is a really overpriced model of PP, the same case of the royal oak of AP. Have you consider maybe a panerai 233 or hautele?

all all YG Daytona with bracelet ain;t there.  I've been thinking (a long long time) about one but not sure I'll ever wear it much given that it would even attract thise challenged in sight.  It's a really in your face watch with the bracelet.

Like you, I too have a soft spot for a gold Daytona, but in my case, white gold is the one that appeals to me the most.

Either way, both are really cool and if you ever end up getting one, you will have many fans here.

Cheers,

...my sense is that you are more excited about the Nautilus.  Have you tried all three models on the wrist yet?  That might help to narrow down which amongst the three work best on your person. 

Good luck!

tried the yellow gold daytona and I have to say that it's a perfect fit.  I haven't gotten a chance to try on the nautilus yet because it is pretty much sold out everywhere I go.  I'd have to be put on a waiting list in order to get  it.  I do like the idea of owning a Patek over a Rolex but the fact that the Patek is in stainless steel doesn't really justify the price compared to the Rolex.  Also I'm torn between owning a watch that is clearly more noticeable vs one that is more subtle.  I am a Leo after all and I do like the attention !!!
