5167 & 5711 review and pictures
I've bashed together a small write up and a few snaps to show the details and differences of the two references. I've also thrown in a Rolex to get out the details and dimensions :thumbsup:
In a nutshell the 5711 Nautilus is a classic among classics and the fact that you can't find it at ADs is an indication :read: The 5167 Aquanaut must be one of the most comfortable watches to wear. The rubber strap is extremely comfortable :agree: Both are great sport watches, elegant and understated. Very interesting and small pieces of art and you can't go wrong with either. Both 40mm and use the same 324 non-hacking movement http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psec735659.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psdc8df270.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps84c1f6b8.jpg The 5167 has a big tasty roman numerals dial. by far the best lume of any watch I've ever owned http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psc6cfad37.jpg The 5711's blue dial needs little introduction, it's simply stunning http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0c204fb7.jpg Three 40mm sports watches next to each other http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps065335e8.jpg The 5711 is very thin and sits very flat on the wrist. next to a £1 coin http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps13ee1460.jpg Bit thicker is the 5167 and like the 5711 is hugs the wrist and it's pure bliss http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps552595b6.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...pscd033aed.jpg 5711 compared to a 1680 Sub http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64f7a37d.jpg Both watches come with a clear caseback so the movement can be enjoyed :drul: http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps674611a8.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps48d329c7.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psed416896.jpg Deployment buckle on both - very sturdy and very high quality as it can be expected http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps652ca70e.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psc391e417.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps928814cb.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psfb615cb3.jpg 5711 on the wrist. 40mm just the right size http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psf61658ed.jpg This has to be one of the best crafted bracelets on the market. note the 1.5 link I've fitted to get a super comfy fit http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps53d3b315.jpg 5167 http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps271cade5.jpg So comfy it's unreal http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44a9c277.jpg Another 40mm classic http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps79f983df.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...pscc186e84.jpg On the arm to get an idea of the size of these two great Pateks http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psd92fc920.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psffc89fb1.jpg That's it folks, thanks for looking :cheers: |

Great PICs Anders. :thumbsup:
Great taste in watches Sir.:cheers: |
Fantastic thread! As a fellow owner of the 5167 I can't get enough of the pics. Thanks for sharing!
|
great pics,awesome watches!
|
Thank you for that great review Anders, well written! :thumbsup:
|
Lucky you! :thumbsup:
|
Great pics as always!
|
Nice photo review Anders :thumbsup:
I particulary liked the photo of the two pieces with their bracelets/straps mirrioring easch other :thumbsup: Any more thoughts on which metal/dial 5146 you are considering? |
Fantastic pics and great review! Especially loved the comparison re: feeling on the wrist versus a Sub, relative height, etc.
Never saw myself going for an Aquanaut but you may have changed my mind. |
Great post! Could not agree more on the 5167 being extremely comfortable to wear. You really have to try it to realize just how great of a wearer it is. Love it!
|
Amazing photos as usual puffy, you're the one that pushed me over the edge to get my Nautilus. Im getting it this Thursday!! Cant wait, the blue dial is mesmerizing!!!!!
|
Love this thread Anders. I've been contemplating which of these two for quite a while as I can't get the two at the same time. Although this thread is actually making the decision even harder. :banghead:
:thumbsup: |
Great pics . I just got the 5711. It is stunning. Not to big on my 6.5 inch wrist. When I went to get it I initially thought I was going to get the Aquanaut 5167 but it looked to big on my wrist then I tried the Nautalus 5711 (could not believe they had one) I was sold. To Puffy and the other who posted pictures of the 5167, what is your wrist size?
|
stunning!
|
Thanks for the nice review and pictures. On the lookout for my first PP so these come just so handy.
|
Great photos! Any plans to get your next Nautilus?
|
Thank you for sharing. Great review and comparison.
What is your wrist size? They look great on you. :) |
Great review and beautiful pictures.
|
thanks everyone! :cheers:

That's an excellent pictorial, Anders ! Thanks for sharing :thumbsup::cheers:
That is the first time I realized that the movement of the 5711 is non-hacking !!! |
Great job Anders! :clap:
|
Great review! If you had to only keep one - which would it be?

I keep looking at the great pictures you took. Thanks for taking the time for such a great thread. Both watches are amazing. You cannot go wrong with either watch. I have a 5711 but look forward to purchasing a 5167 in the future. I would love to see pictures of the the 5167 with steel bracelet if anyone has them.
