My blue 5711 is delayed. Told by AD supposed to arrive this month but has been pushed back to next shipment whichever date that is.

Probably not a fair comparison price wise but the 5110p in the other (mps354) thread looks really beautiful and the 5110p and 5130p is more readily available (used & new) which got me thinking hmmm.

If price is not a factor which one would you choose and why? The watch is going to be used daily in mainly smart casual settings (no sports).

I would stick with the 5711 blue. Perfect for smart casual daily wear.

Stick to your gut choice.

hughiee2 · 2 July 2015, 01:04 PM

Mike and SJ have shared sound advice. Go with your gut choice 5711/1A blue dial.

alexlt730512 · 2 July 2015, 01:44 PM

5711 for sure,

Hairdude1 · 2 July 2015, 02:41 PM

Stick with the 5711

Another vote for 5711.

It is difficult to advise unless we know if this will be your first, second, third or even fourth Patek. If this is your first Patek, the 5711/1A will be an excellent choice. However if you already have several Patek watches, then adding a World Timer will add variety to your existing collection. A platinum Patek will always be a special timepiece, moreso than a 5711/1A.

In the Rolex world, a SS Sub will always be an excellent choice for a first Rolex. But for a Rolex collector, a platinum DD/DDII would be at a different echelon.

5711 blue for sure.

Stay put and wait for the 5711. After it arrives you will be so glad you waited. Purchasing your second choice just does not work out.

jjnd08 · 2 July 2015, 10:29 PM

5711 for me.

iazrollie · 2 July 2015, 10:41 PM

5711, followed by the 5110. Not a fan of the 5130.

GB-man · 2 July 2015, 11:44 PM

Stick to the 5711

NikH689 · 3 July 2015, 12:32 AM

Thanks for the advice guys

. I'll keep my reservation for the 5711. Probably makes more sense to me as this would be my first Patek.

descartes · 3 July 2015, 08:40 AM

Totally different watches, but if I had to pick one it would be the platinum world timer. It's on a different level.

Having both, I'd go 5711 for a daily. Don't get me wrong, the 5110p is amazing, but for a daily wearer I think the nautilus is more versatile and robust

5711

5711 hands down. The dial itself is amazing.

daytonaTBR · 4 July 2015, 01:32 AM

I would go for a 5130p I love everything about that watch.
