Hi all, need an advice on the above topic. Hope to hear your opinions. My collection is a 5980R (leather strap) and a Rolex subc no date. Have attached pics that I tried today. Thanks.

Jumbo should be in SS. Not a fan of Daytona so the all gold Nautilus in this case for me.

alika · 19 December 2015, 11:24 PM

I'm not a YG fan so it's pretty easy for me.
PLATONA

Since you have a 5980, I recommend the AP. Otherwise the 5711.

I agree the AP would give you the trifecta

AK797 · 19 December 2015, 11:39 PM

Obviously I am a big fan of the 5711 1R but the 5980R is kind of similar. I'd sell the chrono for the AP and have both the full RGs, both bracelets are to die for!

This one

Since you have Patek and Rolex already, grab that stunner RG AP.

This is good thinking AP or Rolex. As you have the 5980r already (rose gold) I LOVE the Platona which is PLATINUM which you are missing.

Btw, I own both Platona and AP 15202or and I wear the Platona much more..I'm afraid to damage the RG bracelet on the AP 😱

another vote for the 5711

kilyung · 20 December 2015, 12:12 AM

Yup. Sell the 5980r and get the AP and PP.

I would go with Mike, there are no losers in this selection, the Platona is certainly the most understated. If it is going to be more like a daily wearer then the Platona would be my vote, if not the others are both awesome.

asleep · 20 December 2015, 12:59 AM

Platona for me, one of the most stunning looks I've seen.

fai9al · 20 December 2015, 01:16 AM

Jumbo in RG is to die for!

manilenyo · 20 December 2015, 01:33 AM

15202, for diversity, gets my vote. Given you already have a 5980 and a Submariner, having another nautilus, chronograph and crown would be redundant. Good luck!

RichHitch · 20 December 2015, 04:41 AM

5711R, and then SS 15202 !!

Samui · 20 December 2015, 04:59 AM

You have great taste in watches. If you didnt have the 5980 i would say say go with the gold chrono on a bracelet but since you do have it I would get the AP. ITS PERFECT

s14roller · 20 December 2015, 06:24 AM

In pics, the 5711 and Platona look best on you. Platona I'd buy second hand though...take a look at the pricing.

Anyone able to advice what's the going rate for a mint Platona on the secondary market currently please?

$41k is what dealers currently pay used so $44-$45k USD.

Sell the 5980 and get the best Chrono in the business - the Lange Datograph in pt.

adrianyew · 20 December 2015, 09:03 AM

Very interesting to see a few suggested to sell the 5980R and get both AP and PP in bracelets. 5980R being my first PP, that will probably stay with me for sentimental reasons.

You guys think a 5711R able to coexist with the 5980R? Also do you guys think the 5711R is slightly on the feminine side? The watch looks stunning alone, but after I tried I couldn't help but think it was slightly feminine though.

Not feminine, but not as masculine as the 5980 for sure, I'd say more silky and elegant in its understated decadence. If the 5980R is a keeper then I'd get the AP.

Lordofrolex · 20 December 2015, 10:29 AM

5711R for sure

Wenga · 20 December 2015, 12:06 PM

Why not a 26320 OR , i think the 15202 is to plain and a tad to small ?

Did try the AP chrono, tad too large for me. My wrists are at 6.25inches. The jumbo fitted better.
