From a recent AD visit

I got to see these three models during a recent AD visit.

Which one would you pick?

I would take them all

We’re these for purchase or we’re they already spoken for?

Already spoken for, but at least they were not "exhibition" models that Rolex ADs have on display.

5726 > 5811 > 5168. 5968 would go to the top of the list though

None of these three for my money. I'd rather get a 5712/1A or 1R, 5164A, or 5167A.

It depends how big your wrist is.

For a bigger wrist I would lean towards the 5168 or the 5811. For a smaller wrist I would shoot for the 5726.

The 5811 wears a lot bigger than the 5711 IMO.

The 5811 looks much larger than the 5726. The 5811 is only one mm larger but it sure looks like much more. The Aquanaut is crazy big. Too big for me, I think.

I think it might be the angle of the watch in that picture. I picked one up a few days ago and the proportions are good in my opinion!

Actually Patek does exhibition models too, as my local ad had some in the cases a month ago.

5726;then 5811. The *811 looks more like a 3700 than the 5711 did. The 5726 is the best of the lineup though.
