5711 + 5980
Popped into my AD today and tried these bad boys on. Beauties.

Both superb but the 5980 in SS is hot!! I think it would go nice with RG one!! Perhaps someday...thanks for sharing!

Yup they are both stunning watches! I still can't decided if I prefer 5980 in black/ grey dial or blue! But they all look awesome.
Cheers!

Tough question. They're both quite different watches - the 5711 is thin, time and date only, and has great lines. The 5980 is a thicker watch with amazing wrist presence and has a chrono function.
I would own both if I could. I'd probably start with the 5711 though. Cheers! |
