Hey all
I have the 5711/1r almost two years, do you think its good idea flipping it and get the skeleton 37mm 154670or? How's the size compare to the nautilus?
I can get it in retail price not preimum.

Fat_ninja · 10 June 2019, 05:04 AM

No... maybe the 15407st. Maybe but even then I’d want my name on the papers..

Here’s size diff...tried to keep it gold vs gold comparison

The 15467or is truly special. That’s the piece I would go for

Johntee050 · 10 June 2019, 01:20 PM

The nautilus is a great watch but the skeleton is a few levels above.

As much as I love AP openworked watches, I would keep the 5711/1R here and its mainly because I don't like the size of that RO on me. If we're talking about the 15407OR then easily the 407! Or I'd even consider looking for a pre owned 39mm openworked

brmeyers · 12 June 2019, 03:53 AM

I like the 15305OR, so i would say Patek in this case if it were me.
39 is the sweet spot for me with AP RO.
37 just looks to small on my wrist (though not bad).

I just this weekend tried on a frosted WG openworked 37 mm... A tad small, but a real beauty

I also had a chance at this at retail. I think the 41's are the hard ones to get.

I have 17mm (6-1/2 inch) wrists and I have to say it still looked a little small. But not bad.
Definitely smaller than Nautilus and Daytona though.

I'd keep the PP, just wearing mine today after a couple of weeks, it's my top watch I realise despite the fact it is no where near a 100K watch, so surreal to be going to the post office with that much strapped on my wrist.

You are right it’s like 129k lol

Don’t get all the love for the open worked APs. (Though happy for everyone else to have a different opinion!

) I find them close to impossible to read, which surely defeats the purpose. Easy PP win for me in this case.

Tough call, they are very different watches. I'd go with the 5712R.

Bearxj86 · 13 June 2019, 05:07 AM

I owned the Skeleton and it just wasn't for me (personally speaking). It draws a lot of attention even in steel.

GB-man · 13 June 2019, 10:20 AM

I don't think it is a good idea.

tcheeco · 13 June 2019, 06:18 PM

A big NO
