Quick would you rather. Both are around the same price.

Have you tried on a SS 5711? It feels very flimsy to me and does not feel like a watch that you would pay upwards of $30k to me honestly. RG one maybe a little different.

I'd choose a DD over a SS 5711 anyday of the week.

danwang0520 · 19 April 2020, 06:08 PM

DD for sure in this roundup

SearChart · 19 April 2020, 06:42 PM

DD, no contest. 5711 is a nice watch but hugely overrated and shouldn't be more than €18-20k for what it is IMO.

Golden Ellipse · 19 April 2020, 06:56 PM

I’ve had a 5712 and two DDs, and this is easy — DD by a mile. If you have a big collection and just want a cool additional piece the 5711...

Yes, the 5711R is the better comparison.

This question is like asking do you want a simple house in the best neighborhood or the best house in a nice neighborhood.

timeldn · 19 April 2020, 08:22 PM

Platinum DD40 best choice

TankTom · 19 April 2020, 08:30 PM

5711 at retail no question

lord91 · 19 April 2020, 08:39 PM

5711

SUPERDOC · 19 April 2020, 08:42 PM

I can't believe this is even a question... but they sell for similar prices..
I didn't love the 5711 at 20k when it was widely available in any AD showcase.. so I sure as heck don't love it at 60k+..

But that too will go the way of the Beanie Baby

-Ally- · 19 April 2020, 08:44 PM

The 5711 will feel like a cheap toy compared with the Daydate.

I like this ^^^

strettyend · 19 April 2020, 08:53 PM

I think a lot of people have never held a steel 5711 in their hands. It is very underwhelming and therefore DD40 platinum.

The /1R on the other hand...

Kliminator · 19 April 2020, 09:04 PM

I wish they made the plat DD with a fluted bezel.... But from what I understand, they don't bc it's a tough metal to work with...?

Exactly for that reason, but they could have offered it in wg.

Good analogy.

1William · 19 April 2020, 10:14 PM

No comparison except for price. The DD is robust and a tank. The 5711 is cool in the understated PP way but is not a Platinum watch from the Crown. Go try on the 5711 and then the DD and you will see what I mean.

GoingPlaces · 19 April 2020, 10:28 PM

DD unless 5711 in RG.

watchmework · 19 April 2020, 10:31 PM

Plat DD.

rmlovett1 · 19 April 2020, 11:15 PM

For me, it would depend on what else is in the collection.

JohnTz · 19 April 2020, 11:15 PM

I have both. DD by a mile.

Cesium137 · 19 April 2020, 11:18 PM

I’ll take it a step farther and say, I’d go any modern DD over SS 5711

rolexfanforlife · 19 April 2020, 11:19 PM

I would take 5711, but if platona vs 5711, platona!

wisguy · 20 April 2020, 03:21 AM

Biased here, as I own one, but 5711.

DD is great, but it's a totally different conpcept.

It's like Mercedes vs Bentley, in many ways the Mercedes is superior, but it's no Bentley.
