My new watch crush right now is the 5711. That blue bezel is just pure sexy.

Soly20 · 10 October 2016, 05:16 AM

5711 for sure. Its just too damn sexy!

Ar_Mi · 10 October 2016, 09:59 PM

Between these two, the price gap is pretty big, but that being said, i would take a the plat. Rolex over the steel pp... however if we were to be talking about 5711 platinum.. thats a diff story

Honestly, after having had the PP and currently a DD (granted wg w green dial), I would do the DD. Something about the 5711 bored me, where as something about the DD just really sings. I think its the weight and bracelet of the DD at the end of the day. The PT version (holy acronyms) must be even more awesome in that regard.

I'll go with the DD 40 in Plat.

I tried on the DD yesterday, now that I've had it on my wrist, I'd say if you can get it for a good price lit might be worth it. The sticker shock at the price blew me away. Super nice watch though and unparalleled wrist feel.

Nautilus hands down.

Nautilus if you care about resale.

locutus49 · 5 November 2016, 04:50 AM

I would not buy such a watch if you are already thinking of resale. Whichever you buy, it should be a keeper and resale should not factor into it.

If you are a flipper, then buy the 5711 and sell it for a slight loss.

mps354 · 5 November 2016, 06:37 AM

nautilus for me

Tan · 5 November 2016, 06:54 AM

Nautilus, no question.

wisguy · 5 November 2016, 11:13 AM

PP hands down

brettpaul · 7 November 2016, 05:11 PM

I like this idea!

If you go try them both on. You'll know right away. One will call to you.

If the choice was 36mm day-date platinum, I'd go for Rolex.

But, between these two, I would go for Patek 5711.

arejay · 20 November 2016, 04:38 AM

Get the patek... the price will stay the same or trend upward.

The platinum models can be had for significant discounts used in a few years (even now if you buy right.) This is all speculative though.
