Hi guys.

Curios what everyone thinks of this.

Given the opportunity... which of the two would you pick and why?

Neither. Both don't appeal to me.

I've tried both, I'd get the AP. I have two Pateks including the 5167 which I kind of prefer to the 5711.

44ss. Had one, loved it. Also like PP but found I liked the 5711 mainly because other people seemed to like it. End of the day, I found it too plain and stopped thinking about one.

44ss vs 5726 or 5980 and it's a bit more interesting.

They are two very different watches. I looked at these two side by side and went with the AP 44mm. The PP was too small for me and looked plain. I was able to compare the white dial 15400 as well and I actually thought the detail and quality of the 15400 was better than the 5711.

This.

the ROO seems to be a different level. the dial has lots of classy detail, the patek looks like 50 dollars watch. im not talking the movement, but the looks.

Yes. To a person who knows nothing about watches. I mean nothing... The nautilus looks like a $50 watch. To the rest of us, to each their own

Show me a $50 watch with a movement like this PP, and the finishing of this particular PP, that costs $50. Thanks in advance.

The Nautilus is nice but the white dial isn't as nice (in my humble opinion, that is) as the blue one, therefore I'll have to go with the AP, this model sure looks pretty classy.

QC, when you get the watch, please buy one for me as well and put that on my bill...

Absolutely right - complacency on patek they think can get away with anything just coz they are Patek ,, ! Just change dial to white and expect people to go WOW
