In Response To: I will take the rolex over an AP and a Patek ()

: /Hi John

: The Rolex has a far better movement than the
: Patek which has a micro rotor and an
: overfragile gyromax balance. The AP Royal
: Oak has a jaeger le coultre 889/2 based
: movement.The 889 is a delicate movement.The
: Rolex blows the doors of the two movements
: in terms of very long term durability, shock
: resistance and over the long run
: accuracy.You have another solutiuon which to
: have a vintage Omega constellation with cal
: 561 which is a better timekeeper than some
: Rolex models because its movement was
: awarded with especially good mention during
: cosc in 1965.

AHHHH you've really missed the boat on that one buddy. In your case its truly comparaing apples and oranges. Rolex And Patek isn't even in the same luxury cat. While I'm no Patek movement expert I do know that they are of superb quality.
