I think you put your finger on it well....
.....I am not anti-Patek in any way. My 5070P is most definitely one of my favourite watches. Yet, having said that, there are some days when nothing other than a hardcore, tool-heavy, iconic Rolex will do....nothing can do it quite like a Rolex. Having said that, it is the beauty of diversification that allows that feeling to emerge. If all i had was a Sea-Dweller, the thrill of putting it on would diminish. But you are in a position where you already have a wonderful selection of PPs..... In that sense....which of your choices will give you the biggest marginal thrill?
Rolex Comex or Complicated Patek
I posed this question in the PP thread as well. i have been thinking about my next acquisition and it really comes down to two options. I have recently shifted much of my collection to PP. I just did a big trade consolidating several watches for a new 597...
I feel qualified to answer this.....
First, I own a Comex 16660 and also a 1665 Gold Oman. The Rolex Sea-Dweller is without doubt my favourite reference. I adore it. And let me say, having at least one of these in my collection is a given. If I was to boil down my collection to 5 watches, I ...
For once we are in opposition
A comex is a label on a dial You want a SD Then just buy a SD and save ££££££ To pay this much is nuts in my opinion The 5970 wins all day long As I put my money where my mouth is also Ps I owned a 5514 and 1665 Comex And sold them to buy Patek complicati...
.....but....
.....the question was not whether a 5970 was better than a Comex. The questioner already has a 5970..... the question was whether the buyer should go for a Comex or another Patek.....having already shifted (and concentrated) a lot of the collection into P...
agree
Think there is no reasonable comparison between a Patek and a Comex. I think they are very far away from each other. In the end it all comes down to personal taste and emotion. I m fortunate to own a patek 5070G (thx to Nicolas) and a number of Comex watc...
Damn, Steven, this 5070 is gorgeous!!!
The common point between the 5070 and the Comex is their coolness. Best, my friend. Nicolas
If it was me for the price of a Connex I would rather go for…
6200 6541 6236 8171 6538 red triangle chronometre 6542 mint Logo watches just don't do it for me anymore But that's just me and I'm always happy when a collector gets a watch they love If that's a Comex then I'll be the first to congratulate :)
That's another story, i can agree...
... With a a couple of Rolex you mentioned, but not for a 5970 as you said. Maybe for a 3970... 2499 too :) Cheers.
I love that triple six that you have.....
The dial is PERFECT!!!, could you post a picture of the gold Oman. That's a special special watch.
Oh wow....
That's simply fantastic. You have an awesome collection my friend. I can't stop drooling. I think you have my two favorite Rolexes... Enjoy those. You are selling me hard in the COMEX. It really comes down to what you would wear and most enjoy. I LOVE my ...

I'll try to give you an answer ....
different from the one written on another forum .. well a Patek watch like a " complicated " chrono is rare , with a stunning movement and btw quite cool to show at a party ( where almost everybody can well recognize it at first glance .. LLOOOL ) on the ...
really sorry for this !!
to better explain my point of view ..... will do ASAP the english translation of another work written by me some years ago about Comex watches ( the title was something like : " Comex ... cult and mystique of a watch " )
