Re: I will take the rolex over an AP and a Patek

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

I have seen a patek movement, it is nice but it needs too much TLC. You want a prefect dress watch, then buy the rolex cellini prince reedition with cal 1620. Patek are fragile watches but nice watches. They are perfect if you want a very immediate good investment. You always win a lot of money if you sell a patek after some years. And did you ever heard of the bubblebacks rolexs with enamel cloisonn� dials and about the moonphase-date calendar oysters? They are rarer, better quality and far more expensive than Pateks. There were also a serie of vintage Omega semaster, constellation and deville with enamel cloisonn� dials for sale in the past which were more expensive and better quality than the Patek.
Patek is not for everyone. I would go with Parmigiani Fleurier, Speake Marin, De Witt or Philippe Dufour which have nothing to envy to Patek. But to each their own.
