5711 is a great choice. Less complications but more blue to admire. I really like mine.

If your gonna do it go all the way.
I own both, and from experience both have a valid place in a collection. I wouldn't trade my Aquanaut for my Nautilus and wouldn't trade my old Cayman for my 911.

When you've owned and experienced both you discover you have a different perspective. The Aquanaut can do things the Nautilus can't. And the Cayman can do things the 911 can't. Things you can only appreciate through ownership. Correct?

Agreed, I also own both vehicles. Anyone who has knows they're very different and a Boxster is its own car, not a 911 at a lower price point. Same can be said for 5167 vs Nautilus.

Good choice

Make sure you try them both on before committing, pictures only tell half the story.

It's all about what you like, we can only comment to a certain extent and many of our opinions are biased as a result of the watches we own (or would like to).
