gentlemen, i would never put the 5726 with an RO in the same sentence for comparison! but i have always assumed the 5726 was more than double the price of the RO and therefore would have made sense further down the line. i never thought it could be a "either/or" in terms of time of purchase.
i still love the RO DT (as well as the new ROC), but with the 5726 not so far away from it in terms of price -if the seller checks out- it makes it a tough call because, seriously, what can you get after a Patek

that said, i agree. 5726 > any AP RO (skeleton perp included if you ask me)

Well I guess you can pick up two of these for all occasions, to match perfectly! The SubC isn't bad, but I don't like how wide the watch is at the lugs. Great daily beater though.

LOVE THAT WATCH. I am biased, I say to get it! In-house Pellaton movement, love the shape of the case, and personally am a fan of the pushers (nautical themed - ship bollards). Great strap and deployant, too.

There is an article in the WatchTime from february 2011 you should read. They say, pros:very easy to read dial, good craftsmanship, attractive design. Cons: date display changes slowly, water resistant only up to 60m.

kevin, I will definitely have to check out that article. I appreciate your feedback, I have yet to see the watch in person and try it on- but I definitely do love it..so maybe it will be my next purchase...

Will be leaving for Zurich this eavening on business. Surely I'll do some windowshopping if I find the time. Am trying to find a new watch to want for my 30-the birthday, so won't be purchasing anytime soon. At the moment have no idea whatsoever what I'll get. been leaning towards something more simple, maybe with alarm. Panerai comes to mind, or Rolex Datejust. Maybe I'll get a used one from my birth year. I'll be sure to share what've come across and some prices (which are normally higher in swiss than anywhere else + add to that the swiss franc )

Sounds good Sonar, let us know how your window shopping turns out

What do you guys think about Longines btw? Within the next year I will need to get myself a watch that goes well with a suit. I found this one which I really like and isn't too pricey but I don't know much about the brand. Any info is much appreciated.

I know it's not as hot as Axmans awesome IWC but on the other hand it's a lot cheaper too.

I think I'd like the suit watch not to exceed 2-3k € and also I prefer a new one. If I were to buy a used one it would be in a higher price range but that's not gonna happen for a while.
