Struggling on this one, hope u guys can help.

Dump the 5711 and get me a 5070g? I can only have one at the moment.

wrist size 6.5

I never wear a suit if that matters.

paid retail

also 5070 may be large on a 6.5? 42mm

never saw a 5070 in person.

also open to 5170p blue dial 39.5mm

I agree with u on the size matter it may be too large for ur wrist but it is the “better” watch between the two imho. 5170p is a good option but i still haven’t completely warmed up to the baguette indices, if ur fine with them i say go ahead

I wouldn’t. But the 5711 is just more my style. To you which one will get more use?

Haha this thread is insane... who would have guessed we would be comparing these a year or two ago...

5070 is of course the superior watch and cool as hell but 5711 is more in demand.

I will keep the 5711 blue. That's a classic.

You can always buy it back later. I doubt they will be discontinuing the 5711

tng11 · 28 March 2019, 11:06 PM

Make sure you try the 5070 first. I wanted one for the longest time, and trying it on quashed my hopes for it. Beautiful watch that's a classic, but it's a big watch and wears big on small wrists.

V25V · 28 March 2019, 11:07 PM

I would keep the 5711 but that 5070 is nice...... I dunno. Have you tried it on? If so, post some photos so we can see it on you.

Buy the one you will wear the most. I have a 5712 and love it. I also have a 5070P; 5970P, 5170G and Daytona C among others PP and Rolex SS. They all get wrist time but the 5970 gets the most. IMHO it’s almost perfect, wears great on wrist, beautiful casework and movement, PCC and does not draw attention unless another WIS is in the room. The 5070 does wear bigger than 5712 but not obnoxiously so. The 5711 is timeless (I would not sell one unless you just don’t wear it) but if you do replace I would only do so with another timeless reference which for me would be a 5970/5070 which would fit well with your Daytona and SubC

Vipes · 28 March 2019, 11:41 PM

I’m seriously considering adding the 5070g to my collection. I have the 5711 and it’s a keeper for me and I wouldn’t trade it for the 5070. I find bracelet models more versatile for me. I have about same wrist size as you and I think the 5070g will be fine since it has <50mm lug to lug length. I have the 5170p and its a great watch that is the perfect size for small wrists.

You won’t regret adding a 5070g. I have a 7 inch wrist, maybe a touch smaller, and everything from a 3940 to a 5070 works fine

You always give me solid advice, thanks

WatchYouGonnaDo · 29 March 2019, 12:08 PM

the fact that a 5070g and a 5711 are the same prices is ridiculous. I vote 5070 all day long, unless you care about how cool people think you are on Instagram

benlee · 28 March 2019, 11:49 PM

If I'm you, i will try to keep the 5711 and add the 5070G. 5711 is really hard to get nowadays, as is most Nautilus but the 5711 blue is particularly hard.

GB-man · 29 March 2019, 12:30 AM

I'd do it but personally prefer the 5170 series. Don't plan on getting the 5711 back at a palatable price though.

Snow-Dweller · 29 March 2019, 01:10 AM

I wouldn’t.

ppalasthira · 29 March 2019, 01:12 AM

I wouldn’t.

It would be tricky getting the 11 back. It would cost you an arm and a leg if you wanted it back.

mps354 · 29 March 2019, 02:00 AM

tough call. the two watches in my collection that would be the last to go are the 5711 blue and 5070G. i think theyd make a perfect 2 watch combo. If i were you, id be patient and eventually add, dont swap.

CamSLC · 29 March 2019, 02:13 AM

Love the 5070 series, it's an amazing classic that I would love to have one day in addition.
I wouldn't wear it the same amount as a Nautilus and therefor wouldn't trade for one.

Bearxj86 · 29 March 2019, 06:06 AM

I wouldn't. Get both :)

soundserious · 29 March 2019, 10:42 AM

Truly bizarre duo of watches to be choosing between.

ap1 · 29 March 2019, 10:47 AM

5170p. 5070 too large for 6.5 imho

Humble michael · 29 March 2019, 10:56 AM

Nope nope nope -please keep the 5711- know too if you get the 5070 and you decide you want to sell, you will suffer a loss of 10 grand on that piece.:-(

Kind of an odd statement without knowing the price of the piece he is considering, among other things
