Patek Philippe 5711 Nautilus (blue dial) VS Rolex Day-Date 40 Platinu,
Which of these two would you pick? I'm currently deciding between these two and I cannot make up my mind. Please help me out with this decision, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Owning 5711 and 5712
I have a steel 5712 and I love it. I was offered a blue 5711 which I like a lot, but keeps me wondering if it makes any sense to own two quite similar Pateks. What do you think?

Calatrava, Nautilus, Aquanaut, or ???
For months I've considered upgrading my meager two-watch collection, currently comprised of a stainless steel Breguet Marine and a rose gold JLC MUT Moon. I've initiated several forum threads during my search and have received many kind replies from TRF members.I initially focused upon a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date because I had the opportunity to buy a new one from an AD at a reasonable price. But I wasn't sure how the Day-Date would fit into my collection and which occasions might be appropriate for wearing a Day-Date. Is the Day-Date a flashy casual watch, a flashy special occasion watch or just over-the-top flashy?

Vintage Tudor
My father passed away in the 60s, and I have recently acquired his Tudor, minus the 'Oyster' shaped case and the steel bracelet.I'm trying to find out the year etc. Seems like the Rose in the Shield comes from the 40s but not sure.It has the 'rose in the shield' above the Tudor Oyster Automatic, numbers 2,4,6,8,10,12 on a champagne coloured dial with the words 'Shock Resisting' between the 4 and 8 position.It is a hack second hand. I was told by a jeweller that it is gold filled and the gold plating on the crown is almost gone. The serial# is 509xx next line is 95xIt gains about 1 minute overnight on my night stand, so I'd say it's working quite well for an older watch.Here are some pictures. Any info would be great, and hope you enjoy the pics.Denis
