which one next - aquanaut or nautilus?

[tonupbklyn]

the DD has moved out to make space for another PP.
but which one should take its spot?

in consideration are: 5167R, 5164R, 5711R, 5711 white.

i am leaning heavily toward the 5711R full bracelet. a certain symmetry in the collection of the 2 APs (SS/YG) + 2 PPs (SS/RG) by virtue of that addition.

but will the 15450BA and 5711R be too overlapping - ie, when i feel like wearing a full gold piece, will these two be too redundant?

[5Zigen]

I think the 5164R would be a nice compliment to your existing collection, also gives you a complication you don't have (if that matters to you).

[tyler1980]

personally i would get the 5164R if you are set on the R version. I think the 5711's both the R and the white dial have more overlap with the 5712, the AP 15450 and the 15202 than an aquanaut would.

[Andrés G]

I agree with the rest. The 5164R gives you some variety.

How quickly can u get any of the watches? LOL. Then I will decide.

ha, very true. not in a rush, want to be sure of choice first.

I'm debating between the 5711R and the 5167R.
the 64R interests me, not for the added complication, rather the extra thickness. beyond that, i much prefer the simplicity of the 67 dial.
and yes, having an aquanaut to add variety is definitely a factor.

but that 5711R...argh.
i feel that I'll still keep thinking about that one of i decide on anything else.

exactly, recent thread is only adding to my favor of 67 over the 64.
and, like u said, the simpler dial of the 67 suits me. which is probably why I'm so drawn to the 5711R.

[RHIII]

64R gets my vote

Good luck!!

5164R or 5167R. I like the darker shade of brown on these models compared to the 5711/1R.

Have to go with the 5711R, just a spectacular and sumptuos piece.

[Silver Bullet]

5711 white gives you plenty of variety too. It would be the most sporty of the bunch and you could wear it with a Tux as well.

[Ichiran]

First of all - that's a very nice collection there!

I guess you have a preference for watches in bracelet? If so, the 5711R would be the perfect choice for you. It also gives you a nice balance of SS and gold watches in your collection

u r absolutely spot-on. in fact, only recently did i come to that realization. i tried to go strapped models in the past, and i think i've accepted the fact that i prefer sport-styled bracelet models that can do double-duty as dress pieces. and i think my current lot of AP and PP do exactly that.

in fact, currently letting go of my last strapped piece now to make (more) room for a patek.
i'm still trying to rationalize the 67R - even though it's still technically a strap (although rubber, not leather/gator), i do like the idea of the variety of nautilus and aquanaut in the collection.

but, to your point, the balance of SS and gold bracelet pieces is very appealing.
plus, i think if i ended up with the 67R, i'd still keep thinking about that damn 5711R

so my current rationale is to just hold out for the one that keeps calling me.

[TimeOnHand]

5711 in white dial is stunning!

I love the 5711R... if you enjoy a full gold piece then go for this one!

5164r

[smg8]

With that collection it would be a 5164 or 5167 for me. What a nice problem to have :-)

I liked your DD best of your collection. I hope you got a decent price for it.
I would go with the 5711 white dial. Getting one is the issue.

i definitely miss (and somewhat regret selling) the DD. but i think have two yellow gold full bracelet pieces was too overlapping. and although i don't regret swapping it for the 15450BA, there is some solace in knowing that a president in 36mm is fairly easy to attain (again) later down the line if i so choose.

the 5711 white is definitely of interest. but already have 2 other white dial sport models (although not of the caliber of the nautilus) - daytona 116520 white and smp gmt "great white".
the idea of having a 3rd white dial SS piece...don't know...i think the 5711R or 5167R would add more variety.

5164

[yoast]

My vote is 5711r, It would balance the collection nicely....

[dc98354]

Money no issue, I would definitely go 5711R. By far the best looking out of the 4.
