Lange ZW date

AP RO titanium PC

There’s a lot of watches falling into the 50-80 range id prefer as well honestly.

Have you seen any 5170p below 100k?

No, I’ve seen them around 100k though and I would bet if I made offers on all available today I could buy one tomorrow for 85-90. Buyers are rarer than white nfl cornerbacks right now.

Lol. A little off topic but for 100k would you go AP skely 15305st or 5170p?

Daytonaman799 · 30 October 2023, 10:14 AM

Really tough call. The AP is a beautiful watch but in rose or yellow it’s hard;y under the radar . I love the weight and stealthy asp#ct of platinum and like a Daytona except that it does not have a date and that just bothers me. I think it was going for a precious metal AP I would shoot for a platinum jumbo.

That would’ve been my choice as well.

5170p but both lovely. I just love a manual chrono and think Patek does them as good as anyone. I’ve also been loving strap watches lately.

Same here. Getting back into strap watches again.

Daytona. No question.

Little machines · 31 October 2023, 06:14 PM

Daytona /AP is higher horology, the Daytona still has the edge on looks . Good luck!
nice to see you wear your watch!!

It all depends on your present collection, but will keep the AP if I have to keep only one.

Sell the gold sub and bluesy to finance the AP. That’s my advice as you move up the horological ladder.

nosignalbmwdriver · 17 November 2023, 05:15 PM

the ap bezel is a scratch magnet unfortunately. PT daytona ftw.

Michael1968 · 18 November 2023, 12:06 AM

Keep Daytona

PenDelicate · 18 November 2023, 01:15 AM

Interesting, I read your post asking which watch I'd prefer and found myself having a hard time deciding.

But then I read the rest of your post where you say you have the platona and are thinking of trading, and my brain immediately said, "No."

So I don't know which I'd buy first, but I do know that if I had the platona then I wouldn't trade.

I can't even understand why I feel there's a difference.

Stupid brain.
