Ok so I'm getting married 7-7-17 and my fiancée is "allowing" me to purchase a wedding watch!!I've been waiting for the Basel daydate rose white roman dial for a few months now and getting impatient so decided to broaden my range and add PP AND AP to the mix! Here's the three contender. What do you guys think??

GB-man · 19 May 2017, 05:25 PM

I'd have the Patek! Smoke show dial on that one

Sunly · 19 May 2017, 05:33 PM

Out of the 3, 5711, but I would suggest you take a look of AP 15202 in Gold too

5711R out of those choices

jackal981 · 19 May 2017, 06:00 PM

5711r

Gator88 · 19 May 2017, 06:07 PM

5711r but you did ask in a patek forum!!!

Sam Philip · 19 May 2017, 06:09 PM

5711r

I'm leaning towards the 5711 but just seeing what else everyone might suggest in that price range I prefer white or chocolate dials

kentheevil · 19 May 2017, 06:26 PM

I'd say the nautilus but depend on what suites you if you don't have a big wrist and you think if fits you well go for it. I like it a lot but tried it on and didn't suite me as I expected it to be so for me I'd go AP

*forgot to mention Black dial for AP.

topcat30093 · 19 May 2017, 06:31 PM

5711R is my choice.
You probably would have got a more fairer response if you had placed your question/poll in the "Other Non - Rolex Watch sub forum"
That said, still a great place to be in right now :)
Congratulations on both your forthcoming marriage and potential incoming.

Fiddich · 19 May 2017, 06:46 PM

Patek

ezinhk · 19 May 2017, 06:53 PM

Obviously 5711r as this post is in PP forum, even if it wasn't I still vote 5711r

Andad · 19 May 2017, 07:00 PM

No bad choice there Sean.

At that price point you have everything on the table.

One of them will talk to you.

I've personally had a choice between the rose gold AP 15202 in blue dial vs the 5711r but after trying both on it was an easy choice for me. The 5711r really sits perfectly on my wrist and the chocolate dial is really something special. I personally believe that you can't go wrong with the 5711r. And you definitely won't lose money on it if you change your mind.

I have the same Rolex with the chocolate dial. I just went to my dealer last week and looked at the 5711r. Beautiful in person, with a nice weight to it that my 5712a doesn't have. It's priced at $51k but my dealer said, "we can certainly work with you on the price."

I'd be curious to know what work with you on the price would be on a 5711r it's definitely peaked my interest

1William · 19 May 2017, 08:33 PM

Of the three listed I chose the AP. Very nice watch.

brandrea · 19 May 2017, 09:31 PM

Let your bride pick it

codecow · 19 May 2017, 10:29 PM

5711R easy.

pd999 · 19 May 2017, 10:52 PM

As you've been waiting for the DD, and it's more of a dress watch than the other two sporty models, I say "go for the DD"!

lapince · 20 May 2017, 12:10 AM

2 high horology, one not high horology, except if you like drawing attention to your watch forget the DD

x2, the 15202 with blue dial makes me

mps354 · 20 May 2017, 12:54 AM

Of those 3 I'd go nautilus

jon_jon · 20 May 2017, 02:34 AM

Congratulations on your upcoming special day!

All 3 are great choices

As someone mentioned above, you should also look at the AP 15202OR.

If you get a chance, I would try all 3 at ADs and see which one really sings to you.

The DD is the most recognizable and if you want the watch to be recognized by others, it is the best choice. However the AP and PP are watches only recognized by those who are into watches. No wrong choice here but ultimately you want to be happy with your decision.

enjoythemusic · 20 May 2017, 02:56 AM

Depends if you love marriage and want reliability (Rolex) or looking for trouble and long wait times to be... serviced LOL.

I just tried on the 5711/1r last night (again). It is a perfect weight and silky smooth. The bracelet is like butter. Get it, you'll love it. And congrats on your upcoming marriage!
