Patek Philippe

Love this post

 


Thank you very much for your kind comments. You are right, the power reserve on the Dato is pretty low and is likely one of the reasons I tend to forget to wind it. I think it should be wound every 36 hours or else on is likely to find it has stopped. I am seriously looking at the new Rolex submariner as a daily beater. I feel it is a watch I could forget is on my wrist and let it take a beating. At least that is my impression. The difficulty would be not wearing the Dato and PP as much. However, I think that the more I wear the watches and show signs of wear on them, the less I will worry about those dings and scratches which is reason not to buy a daily beater and just use the ones I have. Ah well, perhaps I should invest in a nice camera instead.

I suspect that you will not find too many members, who will disagree over the beauty of Datographs movement. I can appreciate your views regarding the visibility on the Patek. As I progress in age the legibility of the dial because far more important. But... 

Consider an AP Royal Oak as well, as Hororgrasm already suggested very correctly !

Very nice to read post and thoughts on two true classics. Well done ! Both watches look good on your wrist, but the PP looks best. Hororsgasm may not be as accurate in determining old PP references , ;-), BUT he is right about the AP: the new Rolex might ...
