Of course the REAL answer is getting both in RG.

My solution was to get a 5711 and a 5402 A series.

Yes Mike, it's a bit of a safe queen. It's a bit too big on my 6.2in wrists so hardly gets out. It's lovely though.

Not at all! It looks awesome on your wrist. A shame not to wear it more as intended.

I'm a fan of color matched date window. Unfortunately PP doesn't have that in most of their models. Therefore I went for the 5711a white dial.

You should have enabled a poll option for a tie. ;-)

+1
I absolutely love the blue dial, but ended up going with the white dial model. To me, it looks just as great as the blue 5711, but from a different perspective (more sporty imho). Owning both blue and white wouldn't be bad - maybe someday

Whilst I love both, I voted for the AP!

I remember when I started to look into AP and PP, around 1,5 years ago, the 2 were priced very differently, the 5711 much more expensive, but now when I look on Chrono 24 it still is but the difference is much less than before.

Strangely enough when I see both on pics but separately I tend to find the RO more beautiful, but when I see both next to each other on the same pic, maybe Ken could post one or two as I know he has some, I find the Nautilus more beautiful.

Of course the RO is more industrial and more sporty looking, when the 5711 is IMHO pure class and elegance.

It seems that Genta told that he was happier with the RO than the Naut, what is sure is that both are great looking, of course the blue dial does it all, I don't like them very much when they are another color.

For me the fact that the RO is without the seconds hands is hard as I like to see the watch "living", in fact it's quite strange that they would do at the time a "sports" watch without the seconds hand, ok it's not a chrono but having a seconds hand on a sport watch seems to me to be the minimum.

I almost got a 15300 blue dial before I got my 5712, had it on order, from 2009 in excellent condition for 8.900 euros, but I got a great price on a Blancpain that I was also looking at and took the BP, and shortly after that I got the 5712.

Anyways here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure and would like to know what you think about them, again I know that this has been already talked about but it seems that the RO is not so in demand as the 5711, on the AP section there are very few incomings for it, whereas 1 year ago there seemed to be plenty of them…

Naturally, adding i.e. 5402 helps...

5711 for me

[brandrea]

Non owner here, but which wears more comfortably? I realize this varies depending on wrist shape etc, but the braclet on the AP doesn't look as comfortable. I've tried the 5711 on at our local AD and its buttery comfy....

[benlee]

The Jumbo of course. And also my preferred choice between the two.

BUT....

I am now tempted by this. Every month is a different watch

The AP has a narrower sweet spot for comfort. If you are in that spot, I don't think there is a more comfortable watch.

The Patek is very comfortable and will fit a wider range of wrists due the case shape where the bracelet joins the case.

The Patek for me is not as ideally suited to my wrist as the AP and is not quite as low of a profile. The Patek outside of perfection of fit has many other attributes I find useful over the AP.

I'm just counting the days.

I like both and to me both are iconic.
I love that you can get your initials on the rotor for the AP.

Really? I didn't know that.

I like both but have a preference for the 5711, will probably get the AP or PP as my next piece

john Mayer is wearing the SS 15202 in a full page add for NY Times style section today.
its a cool very understated ad by AP.
sorry i don't have a pic of it and couldn't find one on the web.
