5711+5227. Save a little longer and get a killer duo.

Option 3 is a nice balance between dressy and sporty. 5196p with Breguets would be tops for me. I find the hobnail bezel a little outdated now.

Blasphemous as it seems to be amongst PP guys, I've never cared for the 5711 (or any other non-round watches), so I chose Option 1.
My current favorite twosome is the Rolex BLRO and PP 5396r-012. I own the former and the latter is next up on my acquisition list. |

Choice 1 everyday and twice on Sundays.
Why ? I don’t care much people believe the Nautilus is a sport watch, I am sorry it isn’t. A Rollie “ true sport watch “ and a Calatrava “ Dressy “ is the best combo ...the other 2 choices you end up with 2 dressy watches imho. A Rollie is key here , with ceramic bezel. 5711 is not dressy not sport , I’ll say a casual watch ...now if all u care is value retention then 5711 can’t be beaten, although good luck finding one. I am so glad that I can’t care less less about 5711/1a. I do like the 5711r , because it falls on a different category of mine , is a “Power Watch “ Cheers good luck , all beautiful watches , you will be fine

Option 1 covers all bases for me. Sporty rugged travel watch which can be worn anywhere and classic beautiful dress watch. If you had paired the BLNR with the 5711, I would have picked that combo.

Love the 5711, love the 5196G
I'd say adding a Rolex GMT or Daytona would make a perfect 3 watch combination Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Fantastic. I love that 3700, but, at the end of the day, I think that there's too much overlap in just these 2. They are, after all, both steel sports watches. True, the 3700 can pass as a dress watch under many circumstances, and many would argue that the 5167 could, too, but neither really is a dress watch.
Many would say, and I would tend to agree, that if you have a Nautilus, an Aquanaut is redundant, especially if you're limited to only two. |

I have a white 5711 right now, and when I wear it, I am so aware of it and careful with it. The combination of the brushed and polished surfaces all around my wrist is so stunning and beautiful and I seriously want to avoid tarnishing it with scratches, etc. I wouldn't have the same concerns with a BLNR as a daily wear watch, and then the valuable Patek would be worn more sparingly on those dressy occasions. So, from a purely practical perspective, I think the BLNR/5227 combo might be the better one. On the other hand, if one could be perfectly comfortable wearing a 5711 much of the time and not care too much about scratching it, well, then the combo pictured above would be the winner. |

Everyone needs a Rolex for weekends and risky situations , so get a GMT . The GMT is only 6-7k and if you don't like it or need it you can always sell with very little loss Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

It depends on your personal needs imho. I don´t need a dress a watch for example and where I´m living a watch with a leather strap is really unhandy because of the high temperatures. On the other way I´ll never auto-limitate me to only two watches. Although the idea of "one man, one watch" is really nice and desireable, in my personal case it would be imposible... :)
