5711, as for me it would be more versatile.

Another vote for the 5711, but I'm not really into calatravas yet.

GREAT screen shot from the Watchanish video from Basel 2013!!!! I must have watched that video a dozen times! That segment right there, the way that man's watch looked in that light, is what CONVINCED me that I HAD to have a 5711!!!! Great shot!!!

What Mike says

Though, I am slightly biased

The 5127, imo is the best looking simple date Calatrava

Both. They're very different, and I love them both, especially the 5127J variant. But, if it has to be just one now, then I'd say 5711.
