dont buy anything!...save your money for other more important things

I have a PP 5110R myself and I love it
Ive owned it since 2005 and maybe wore it less than a dozen times
no reason why or any rational explanation
I have about 17 other watches that range in value from $5k+ a piece up to $100k+ a piece
I find that even if I like all of them for their own respective look, function, etc; the daily wear is the TISSOT T-touch
Pathetic, isn't it???

5712/1A vs. World Time
By: John888 : September 11th, 2010-11:34
Just wanted to know what PP fans felt about the difference between these 2 models. I know they are completely different. I would like to get a PP that I can wear daily. I know watches aren't meant to think of as investments, but do people feel that either...
Actually, they both have a very important common point.

The Cal 240, which is used in both of these watches. If you think that the 5712 may be a watch to wear every day, you're wrong: The bezel is a scratch magnet. As for the complications, of course they are very different. I don't think that the fact that yo...
There is no better as more complicated or more logic ...

... that is the answer to what you are asking yourself. If you ask which is considered more complicated, it implies that you know that complications make a watch valuable, a potential investment. But not these that you have in mind. What can be applied on...
Here is your answer

" I would like to get a PP that I can wear daily. My main concern with the World Time watch is that I won't wear it on a daily basis." In your own words

I would prefer the wt.... However I would go for the 5711, a watch that can be a daily wearer.... Cheers
PP5712/A or 5130(world time
By: henryhoe : September 12th, 2010-02:46
Both are very desirable watches. the 5712/A is one of those rae stainless steel by Patek and very much sought after.As for the 5130 it woyuld have to be the platinum if u are really after this model. Go with what u feel best. U can't go wrong with either ...
I wear my 3800 daily
By: mjnoumoff : September 12th, 2010-13:25
I wear my Patek 3800 daily, in fact I wear it 24/7. If you want to wear a watch daily, and cant bear to wear a World Time daily, then go for the 5712; assuming you can wear the 5712 daily.
Preferring to see time expressed in 24 h format the 5110 P...

would be my choice. Patek does need to offer a up-grade for the city ring, and get Caracas off of there! Cheers, -- Richard. Thanks to Nicolas for the image. This message has been edited by=RWK=on 2010-09-12 13:35:49 This message has been edited by =RWK= ...

Nautilus SS is any weather and occasion watch yes it is scratch magnet as Nicolas said
5712 is more a daily wearer
By: ivanclai : September 13th, 2010-07:20
but I admire the WT more. My heart beats faster whenever I see the WT but I don't have the feel for 5712. I don't know how big a scratch magnet the 5712 is but a daily wearer should be by definition scratch resistant. I go for WT.
It's complicated
By: Le Chef : September 13th, 2010-08:19
The 5712/1a is much more of a practical day-to-day watch, even if it is a scratch magnet. I have the 5712G which is even more of a scratch magnet, but gets fewer of them as it feels less like a daily wearer. The WT is a really nice watch with a great move...
Chrono 5980 for 2nd time zone
By: Metee : September 16th, 2010-10:44
I have a 5980 and planning to use the chrono as 2nd time zone. Is it advisable to do so? Will i harm the watch if i keep the chrono running for days and weeks?
