First and foremost no one can influence my decision and it will be made out of my own feelings And second , are you having a bad day? I thought this forum was about discussing watches and steps we make toward them)
That obviously can't be true. You're asking for opinions in your original post, and in your post responding to me says you won't be influenced. So... That makes no sense... You're asking for opinions. Now you're saying all these opinions are going to be completely disregarded and that they have no influence on you at all. That does seem rather illogical or untrue. A more likely explanation is that you're looking for opinions to help you make a decision and then now you're no longer willing to admit that you can be influenced. I'm not trying to be combative here, and I'm not trying to upset you. But I am trying to help you realize one thing; this is a deeply personal decision - and it should be a quiet personal decision. Especially since we don't know you personally - you're not a frequent poster, we don't know your preferences, we can't give you tailored advice. Then again - some people use the anonymity of the internet to crowdsource opinions. Either way. If you say you can't be influenced, then why bother asking in the first place?
Virtually every collector I have ever known over decades of collecting Pateks is interested in knowing and discussing other collectors’ opinions about

about watches they are thinking of buying, watches they are comparing and watches in general. It is a most natural, enjoyable and informative exchange of ideas to have. It appeals to both the intellectual and emotional sides of buying and/or trading a specific watch. Also knowing the viewpoints and observations of those who currently own a specific model can be quite informative. This is especially true if one hasn’t seen or spent time with the contemplated model in the metal. No one should write discouraging or disparaging remarks replying to someone who is very politely seeking the opinions of others. In the end we all make our own purchasing decisions, but comments can often focus our attention on details that never occurred to us but might be quite meaningful. With all that said, I hope you are able to own both. They are very different in character and functionality and complement each other beautifully.
Thanks for sharing these two gems with the forum! In my view, they are MUCH more complementary than alternative to each other....not to mention two of the most gorgeous current Nautilus models in this /1R configuration! Keep both is my vote Sir! :-)
