Hypothetical question. which side would you rather have?
(relatively similar value)

PP Nautilus 5711 blue

or

PP Aquanaut 5167/a (black) and a 116500 Daytona (white)

singe89 · 26 July 2019, 05:52 AM

Hype and price aside I actually like the aquanaut the most. So light and comfortable on a rubber strap. Perfect modern day HH sport watch. The daytona would make it an even easier decision.

No brainer those two would make a killer pair

I prefer having two awesome pieces to wear vs. a single one, so I'd go Daytona and Aquanaut. I also love the 5167, so that helps too

stockae92 · 26 July 2019, 06:32 AM

I rather have to own? to flip?

With the current street price, I would be buying VC, ALS all day long.

At list price and if I can't sell it, I would be buying a VC.

At list price for flip, then 5711.

LOL

5711 has always been one of my most favored references.

Perfect modern day HH sport watch.5711 is the best

sensui · 28 July 2019, 06:15 PM

I would take the 5711.... But the real choice is 5712a.

Russell996 · 28 July 2019, 07:06 PM

5711

Ichiran · 28 July 2019, 07:30 PM

5711 blue any day. I know of an enthusiast who has 2 5711 blue.

Seaborn · 28 July 2019, 08:58 PM

I’d go with the 5167 and Daytona

brandrea · 28 July 2019, 09:02 PM

Not a chrono fan, nor rubber straps ... easy choice for me.

AK797 · 28 July 2019, 09:53 PM

I hesitated and then finally chose 2 and surprised to see it leading by 2 to 1! Thought everyone loved the Nautilus, must be just hype.

I'd take the 12 straight up.

Daytonaman799 · 28 July 2019, 11:09 PM

I just love the idea of having two. I love the Daytona and the 5711 and see the aquanaut as a reasonable substitute for a 5711 to have a watch with a date to pair with the Daytona. If you said a 5712 it would be harder.

wulin · 28 July 2019, 11:10 PM

5711

d11n · 29 July 2019, 12:56 AM

the elusive 5711 for me.

SL BRABUS · 29 July 2019, 02:36 AM

2 BEST brand in the world & 2 sought after models in the world.....

No brainer......SS Daytona & 5167.......

blam3344 · 30 July 2019, 11:39 AM

116500 for sure, its classic and sporty suitable for every different events. 5711 is a little too formal for me to wear while playing tennis. I almost got robbed at LA for wearing my 5711. I guess the watch is too expensive to wear daily.

ap1 · 30 July 2019, 12:42 PM

How about, 5712 or 5164/116500 - whoa!

T3F · 30 July 2019, 01:35 PM

Neither, the Aquanaut and SS Daytona are severely overrated for their current market prices -- take it from me, someone who owns both. For $75k (approx. grey market value of a 5711 blue based on what I've seen), get an OF Daytona, a 5230, and take a cool vacation with the remaining $15k.

I agree. I own both as well.

Just curious which of the 2 options people would prefer, independent of price or market value, since they are similar now.
