With today’s Daytona meteorite dials, I think I would prefer the MOP dials better, like the 116509 md.

So, since any of these is Monopoly money for me , I’ll go with the 5811.

So with the leather strap and PM watch the WG bezel give it an amazing integrated look that I feels makes it an all time classic. BTW I also have a 116519 Ghost, so I appreciate the ceramic bezel, just not on the meteorite dial. The dial on the metal bezel does not have panda black subdials keeping the face 100% meteorite, which Is very clean and pure. Finally, while a full set, excellent condition example is hard to find, the value/pricing relative to other Rolex meteorite dials is quite favorable.

I really prefer this meteorite dial with the red bits compared to the current 116509 mtbkio.

Met Day.

However, I am biased against the Naut - never liked it, and biased towards the Daytona as it's my favorite Rolex model (specifically the white dial 116500).

That said, I'd take the Aqua Travel Time over all the pieces you listed.

Meteor Pepsi from me assuming it’s to wear and keep.

5711 Tiffani dial if I can trade it for the sake of enhancing the collection

Meteorite pepsi for me. The GMT layout really presents the Widmanstatten patterns of the meteorite best--uncluttered. Honestly for a PP I'd rather have a round-cased 5172 salmon chronograph or 5935a world time. Every time I've tried on a nautilus I've been left slightly underwhelmed, especially at resale prices!

5811 and it aint even close!

Rolex make great watches, but are light years away from a 5811.

For me it would depend on what else I have in my collection, as those particular watches are vastly different.

I rate all three - Pepsi Meteorite, Daytona Meteorite and 5811/1G as equal. All are lovely watches. Having all 3 would be a dream!

The only one out of the 4 which I dislike is the 5711/1A.

Meteroite Pepsi

Full slice of Meteorite.....Love Daytona's, but for this particular material I'd prefer a full view of the dial.

You’re buying?

This is the config most should want:

5711 Patek x Tiffany #1

Apparently it buys you instant access into Tiffany Pateks. Buyer received multiple afterward. So use the new connection to get Tiffany 5811.

Tiffany then rents the watch back for display. Use that money to buy meteorite Daytonas.

Become friends with Mark Wahlberg and featured in his productions as well as cofounding a sportswear brand. Use that money to buy OnlyWatch 2024-2025 Patek.

Not sure why anyone would pick anything different.

Out of these options, I would pick the 5711.

Haha the 5711 isn’t that bad. But this is probably a better epic battle
