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 be too chuncky, big for your wrist.
Also, pay attention to the case: it has got quite sharp lugs and on a smaller wrist it might be even dangerous.
The old Sub was / is great and would fit on any wrist.
The new Sub would not be watch that you will forget on your wrist, due to it's weight, also.
So, if you can find one old Sub with stickers still on consider it and the AP Royal Oak, too.

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 a...

A nice candid and thoughtful post..........
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...
