AD offering pick of incoming 5711A(White) or 5164A

Hey guys,

So I recently got my wife a 7021R and the AD is offering as a "reward" a pick an incoming 5711A(White) or 5164A.

I'm currently on a three watch rotation:

5170P and 5146J for work and a Platona for casual/weekend.

Which piece do you think fits better into my watch rotation?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Cheers,

I gotta ask... so you bought ur wife a 7021/1R and you have 2 other amazing watches and he is giving you the opportunity to buy a dainty 5711 white or 5164a

He should be offering you more than a choice?...

Have both and prefer the 5164 but rule number 1 is don’t pass on a 5711. You just don’t.

Seriously...the 7021 is a $300k watch. You should try to get the 5740 or 5711 blue. Maybe ask for 5711P or 5131P hehehehe

Both are excellent pieces, can't go wrong with either. Since all your pieces are precious metal and the PPs on the dressier side, I would personally go for the 5164 as the Aquanaut is the most practical weekend / travel type of SS watch from PP (the Nautilus bracelet can be quite scratch prone). Depends on whether the Platona already covers that role well.
