The 11R is beautiful but rather dressy so I don’t wear it a whole lot. Maybe I should be more like Ninja who wore his for about 2 mos straight , even w a droopy extra line, Ha! (Hope dealer got it fixed).
Well , I guess I will limp along saving my pennies til I get another “call “ , If & when.
Oh my sweet wife wanted to wear the R on her birthday but I got her this one a few days early- she loves it ! Thanks for all the encouragement. :-)))

Congrats to the wife!!!! Looks lovely... I’ll probably swap over to the 5711 a soon to give the a a break.

It’s difficult because I know the feeling that a certain watch can give you that makes you instinctively reach for it in the morning — like the feeling you obviously get from your ss 5711. Maybe you should try on the 5711r because it’s likely going to give you the similar bracelet feel you prefer, plus you might appreciate the extra weight of the gold. If this were my dilemma, first I’d dance a jig, then I’d get the 5711r, sell the 5711a, and keep the 5167. Then you have a gold nauti and aqua. Good luck! Nice options to consider!

Oops! Didn’t realize this was an older thread. Congrats on your choice!

Having recently seen ninja's 5711/1R in person, I have to admit the 5711/1R is a tremendous watch (crooked "T-scamp" notwithstanding :-). I'd never seen one before, it's just a spectacular and superbly well proportioned piece.

Besides, your new 5711/1R is far more befitting a man that is also fortunate enough to drive a Ferrari.

Enjoy them both in the best of health, rock on.
