Hi guys.

Curios what everyone thinks of this.

Given the opportunity... which of the two would you pick and why?

benlee · 16 September 2013, 09:03 AM

Neither. Both don't appeal to me.

Soly20 · 16 September 2013, 09:06 AM

AP. I dont like the 5711 white dial as much.

codecow · 16 September 2013, 09:10 AM

I've tried both, I'd get the AP. I have two Pateks including the 5167 which I kind of prefer to the 5711.

ec00421 · 16 September 2013, 09:16 AM

I love both brands but out of those two, defo AP

s14roller · 16 September 2013, 09:28 AM

44ss. Had one, loved it. Also like PP but found I liked the 5711 mainly because other people seemed to like it. End of the day, I found it too plain and stopped thinking about one.

44ss vs 5726 or 5980 and it's a bit more interesting.

Presa canary · 16 September 2013, 09:47 AM

Out of those two, the pp by a mile...

Sam Philip · 16 September 2013, 09:48 AM

PP for me

singe89 · 16 September 2013, 10:15 AM

They are two very different watches. I looked at these two side by side and went with the AP 44mm. The PP was too small for me and looked plain. I was able to compare the white dial 15400 as well and I actually thought the detail and quality of the 15400 was better than the 5711.

Hairdude1 · 16 September 2013, 10:23 AM

I say AP for looks but for resale PP

DreambreaX · 16 September 2013, 04:37 PM

The patek doesnt appeal to me, its not only ugly, but super damn ugly.

DreambreaX · 16 September 2013, 05:18 PM

Roo ftw!

kilyung · 16 September 2013, 05:28 PM

AP. if blue 5711, then PP.

You should say how you really feel

Koi6715 · 16 September 2013, 07:27 PM

Pp is so boring to look at
No imagination when they designed that

HKRolexFans · 16 September 2013, 07:28 PM

Two different kinds of watch, can't compare, get both

So yer by both lol

Cru Jones · 16 September 2013, 07:50 PM

gotta go PP over ROO here (even if that white face isn't my favorite). comparably priced ROC and i would think harder.

This.

the ROO seems to be a different level. the dial has lots of classy detail, the patek looks like 50 dollars watch. im not talking the movement, but the looks.

Yes. To a person who knows nothing about watches. I mean nothing... The nautilus looks like a $50 watch. To the rest of us, to each their own

Take away the patek brand and what's left is a $50 watch !

Absolutely right - complacency on patek they think can get away with anything just coz they are Patek ,, ! Just change dial to white and expect people to go WOW

SigloII · 16 September 2013, 11:11 PM

PP is more elegant and dare I say it, more versatile (casual+formal) than the 44mm ROO. I say this while owning a 44mm FC ROO.

However, I choose the ROO in this case as the 5711 in white does nothing for me. IMO Nautilus looks best in blue dial. If I were to go for a Nautilus I'd spring for the 5980/1A in blue, which is a clear upgrade over the ROO from a fully in-house chrono and higher retention value standpoint.

rjarr · 16 September 2013, 11:19 PM

The roo is much nicer,the pp is to plain and boring looking.

QueueCumber · 16 September 2013, 11:36 PM

The PP. I have three AP ROOs and no desire for that model when I have ones I like much better already....

simongpaez · 16 September 2013, 11:56 PM

For me PP by far, I can't wear anything larger than 42 :(
