I caught the bug
Maybe getting a little watch crazy and thought I'd sit on sidelines for a while and enjoy but, these three now have my attention. I'm not sure if it's the brown colors or just what. I've already traded my YG Daytona with blue face and thought I'd happy with my last two Daytonas but, this new one does have my attention. I don't own a Patek YET but, again this brown themed Aquanaut also has my attention but a little on the formal side (also considering the stainless/black strap). I never have considered the OffShore but, the new Safari has my attention....and of all things, the Omega Dark Side of the Moon looks nice too.

Three of the four obviously are in a different price bracket and I can only wear one at a time even with current collection.

What say the gallery?

Would a 5711R possibly be in the cards?

Either the Omega or Patek would be a nice addition to your collection.
I find the Omega really compelling, with its case, dial, and movement.

Really depends on your age, character, and personality. I like AP cuz is more trendy, modern, and speaks of sport luxury.

I haven't seen many PP Nautilaus' nor Aquanauts in person but, the Aquanaut looks better to my eye. Yes, I know the history of both and etc, etc... I'm looking for aesthetics and day to day use ability like I WAS doing with my SS Daytona before my SS RO Chrono took over that job. I also think the 5711 is too similar to my RO Chrono, SS Daytona and GMT (stainless, blue, sport, day to day usability and etc, etc). The 5711r is still casual with the tropical band and it tones down the gold for me. So, I'm still picking the RO Chrono over the 5711 so, hard to add that one with my current collection. The "Dark Side of the Moon" is just different enough and definatly won't get unwanted attention.

It's funny, if/when I put the Daytona back on the wrist, it sure seems small!!! I'm LOVING the RO Chrono and only wear the EOT out for dinner.

Definitely aquanaut, you don't have a PP in your collection. The 5167r is gorgeous. Consider the 5726r on strap also.

The 5167a may be the better casual choice than the r. Not many around so, hard to find and size up.

Finally found a BNIB from an Authorized Patek Dealer a 5167a for a nice price and will arriving in the am. I hope it's not too small! Now which to sell and which to wear day to day?

Sell: Stainless GMTII Master BLNB or Stainless YMII?

Wear: RO Stainless Chrono or Patek 5167a?
