Hello everyone. Want a daily watch and also want to get a rose gold watch. Budget is $50000, so I think I can just choose one. What do you think I should pick? 5164a or 5164r or 5711r?

tyler1980 · 23 April 2018, 02:45 AM

daily watch... 5164A

dmash · 23 April 2018, 03:07 AM

Your budget is $50k for a daily and a rose gold? Or just the daily?

pam66 · 23 April 2018, 03:16 AM

the 5711R is a real beauty, the 5164R has its charm, but neither is probably a good daily...unless you don't mind scratches. i lugged my 5711R around in planes during night flights and there are scars ..... also i keep touching my macbook with it all the time...

Just one watch. Daily watch is first concern.

I know that. But really like the color of rose gold version.

I'm on the same hunt, and decided to rule out the 64R.
it came down to having world timer vs full bracelet, the latter won out. also find the lack of adjustability of the rubber strap/deployant to be rather annoying for a 50k watch.
at least with the 11 i can add/remove links.

5711

Oh 5711, that bracelet is stunning in RG. A good candidate for a forever watch.

Bt122 · 23 April 2018, 04:10 AM

5711

mps354 · 23 April 2018, 04:39 AM

Both are great, but I'd go 5711

Do you think 5164a with 5711r will be the best comb?

i voted 64 too. You want a daily and even most 5711r owners here do not wear it every day.

Do you vote 5164a or r? Not sure the scratch situation on 64r.

pam66 · 23 April 2018, 07:23 AM

Not like that style.

Andrés G · 23 April 2018, 07:41 AM

Go with the 64 in steel. It will be the best daily wearer of the 3.

AK797 · 23 April 2018, 11:39 AM

Go for the 5711R, you only live once, and PP can polish your watch if they must.

HAL330 · 23 April 2018, 12:15 PM

my vote.... I voted with my wallet

Not sure whether I can handle it or not. Just 23 years old.

First choice if funds permit: 5164a and 5711r.
Second choice: 5164r if you want a bit of bling.
You could add the 5711r later.

What if you just compare 5164a and 5164r. Which will you choose?
