Yet another 5711 quandary

[DR.Golf]

So I was offered a 5711 about a year ago from my 'go to' AD. I think I have paid for multiple Ivy League university degrees for his kids. I have worn it less than 20 days. I know how hot they are and I do like it I just never wear it. Not looking to sell it, well not really. I have a 5726 strap and 5712 and a 5711P. Those first two seem to get my Nautilus wrist time, the P is in hibernation. All four are dark dials.

I have a chance as a reward (nice to have 14 Patek) to pick up a 5711 white dial. I am seriously considering it. Nautilus are hot right now and I have no fear of the bottom falling out of them. I have yet to see a white in person. I have a few days until it arrives.

If they ever stop the 5711 production, the the white started the end of 2012 they will be far fewer. Maybe a good thing.

For those who have the white dial, do any of you also have the blue? If so, what gets worn more?

The 5711 is still an inexpensive (relative term) watch. I see no reason not to have it.

I suppose just seeking some enabling or nay saying.

Thanks guys.

White is great. Had one for a year or two.

I could go on and on about the details but honestly you have little to lose. Might as well grab it.

Agree with this...don't see any downside

Lots of threads on the white...I sold my blue for the white and like it a lot. Plenty of pics on that thread. I wear the P a lot as well as I like that blue.

if i got a 5711, it would be the white for sure. I would give it a go.

Keep it sealed and locked in the safe.
Come back in 5 years and give us an update if you still want to wear it.

There is nothing wrong with having both a blue and white dial 5711!

Little downside, 15 Patek sounds better

So… if we cut through the whole willy-waving antics, all that's left is a very simple query – you’ve an option on a white 5711, should you buy it or not?
Next time, may I suggest you just go with this instead…



…and we can all respond with...



Seeing as the watch is "inexpensive", and the question was rhetorical, can we just skip to the congrats stage now?

^^^ Brilliant!

I prefer the white 5711 but both sealed/unworn would be even better!

Yes, because then they'd make great paperweights!

PJ strikes again. Willie waving antics could be a subforum. Watch pictures only!

Get the white, with the 5711P with the vibrant blue dial don't see how your 5711 gets worn.
