Need opinon
Am in the process of trading in my 5711 1a, which to most peoples surprise, just doesnot do it for me..for either a 5056p(with extra funds), or a 5035. Love both watches, but is the price difference worth the exclusivity of the 5056p?
Thanks for everyones input. Peter |

Yes for me absolutely and never was a fan of the 5035.

5056 is a very nice choice

Id say so but really like the 5146 in this style for the cleaner aesthetic. Frankly I'd take a 5146g and forgo the platinum if needed to stay in a comfortable price range.
No wrong choices though! Let us know what you decide

I wouldn't do it. For me both the 5035 and 5056 have too busy dials. I'd try to squeeze a 5146P in the budget instead. Or, for the same price (of a 5146P) you _may_ also be able to source a perpetual calendar 3940. Just a thought... :)

5146g or 5146p are better options in my book
Good luck

They are both nice but not really the kind of watches I could see buying, you wouldn't consider a 5712 or 5726? Also Nautilus but much more interesting than a 5711, at least as far as a 5711P is not involved….
