The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

I still think the silver dial 116509 is the sleeper Daytona of the "modern" references.

Biased of course, but I haven't taken mine off in months.

Got my hands on this Patek Calatrava Pilot Travel watch 7234R, and I am in love. With its 37.5mm case, it fits perfectly on my wrist. Too bad it is way, way over my budget...

It is one of my favorites but I still think this is best Daytona:

Man… this is hard to beat. I asked for this, too, but my AD told me that it’s going to be a while before these start trickling in.

Having said that, the fact that, like, 75% or the watch is virtually scratch-proof (ceramic bezel, rubber strap, sapphire crystal) gets me more excited to wear my oysterflex Daytona.

New daily beater.

Well I have both and the 116519 gets zero wrist time now.

I just find the oyster bracelet to be exponentially more comfortable than the rubber oyster flex.

I've also resigned myself to the fact the 116509 is a daily "beater" so I don't care about scratches in the slightest.

Both stunning watches though.

something tells me that Patek isn’t sitting around worrying about what I think of this watch.

I don't know man, I have a feeling they have a team of minions hitting refresh on this thread constantly.

AD called. BRB.

Nice Tudor bro!

And it's nice and toight.

Toight like a toiger

I love the way you engage in autoerotic wrist asphyxiation.

Superfake?

I love that you love it.

They make great watches, but that one does nothing for me.

Maybe that's why it can be found under the retail price. But I really like it. A very practical "sports" Calatrava.

Pretty ugly actually. I don’t associate Patek with giant plunger buttons making a goofy Pilot watch. Yuck.

That’s why I like the stripped down limited edition PP pilot’s watch. And yes, I realize that it does not have any “pilot” complications.
