If the 5711 doesn't sing then go for the DD. Consider the WG DD if you are concerned about yellow gold being blingy.

beshannon · 17 July 2016, 11:09 PM

I love my 5711 and my BLNR.

I could not imagine not having either one.

And, NO I could not imagine selling my Patek for a yellow gold anything.

If you had the 5711 in blue dial then no questions, 5711 all day everyday.

The White dial pales in comparison.

Are you just chasing the Hunt? Do you want to add a full PM piece to your collection? Just remember DDs are dime a dozen, the 5711 is a lot harder to retrieve.

de66 · 18 July 2016, 01:18 AM

N E V E R ! !

Not unless you are considering getting it pre owned: just look at the price hit YG DDs take over time. Not much love for the precious metal DDs imo...

Are you just looking to have a full YG with bracelet? does it need to be a DD?

GB-man · 18 July 2016, 01:31 AM

I wouldn't but maybe for RG or Pt

derekstlmo · 18 July 2016, 01:47 AM

I like both but I love pm models more

Go for the DD, its a real itch now scratch it. You will LOVE IT

balmain2323 · 18 July 2016, 03:01 AM

maybe I'll just save for day date and keep 5711

brmeyers · 18 July 2016, 03:07 AM

I may be a minority, but I like the 5711 in white.
I would say keep the 5711

Either way I would keep any 5711 over DD.
Would be an easy choice for me

DECR · 18 July 2016, 03:14 AM

Do it. You seem not convinced by the 5711.

JJ WA · 18 July 2016, 04:48 AM

... If 'this' is Zzzzz, then I want to sleep all day!

Gotcha

I'll take superrior movements and finishing all day every day over precious metal cases.

And I will sleep better while doing it!

brmeyers · 18 July 2016, 05:08 AM

^^ Beautiful pic! I just love the white on the 5711 dial. Looks even better in person, but thats a nice shot. No sleeper there at all.

balmain2323 · 18 July 2016, 05:20 AM

thats funny.

RUK · 18 July 2016, 08:32 AM

Never! No DD is worth a trade for a Nautilus blue or white. The DD could be had for a fraction in 5 years and the 5711 would have appreciated around the price of a DD. Keep it and save up for a gold watch

Abdon · 18 July 2016, 08:47 AM

I would keep the 5711, save for the DD. That's basically what I did, and I have NO regrets!!! I too have the white dialed 5711, and I LOVE the watch. I could have gotten the blue dialed one, but the white dial seemed to "pop" more, and to me, is more wearable/versatile than the blue dial. I can almost guarantee you that you will regret getting rid of the 5711 if you do so.

Sure thing. The gradient colours of the blue dial is just more interesting to me, and it's harder to fine. Either way I still prefer the PP, I don't have much love for the DD, I also find YG a little off putting. But this is about the OP and I think OP must not be too satisfied with 5711 if he is considering the swap.

I know I wouldn't.

Royalex · 19 July 2016, 11:58 AM

Go for daydate, white dial nautilus is not as beautiful as the blue one.

77T · 20 July 2016, 05:30 AM

That 5711 is not more than you can carry off - the YG DD is way louder IMHO. And there's nothing wrong with that. I only mention it since you brought that issue up.

You just got it so let it settle into your life like a newborn baby.

Meh, dump it. Seriously if you're not that into it then move it along, we aren't talking about rare watches here so get something YOU like!

masyv6 · 21 July 2016, 05:19 AM

5711 Blue Dial > DD > 5711 White Dial, in my opinion.

balmain2323 · 26 July 2016, 11:37 PM

I'm going to buy back the blnr next week, I will also sell my sneaker collection and buy a day date. This way I can have all 3. Thanks for the help..

gummy · 27 July 2016, 12:01 AM

I'd keep the 5711...at least for a while.

if you said DD40 Platinum...then I might have a different opinion
