5711 as a full-time, all-day, everyday wearer?

[Mikeyman95]

Good day everyone,

I've been struggling lately about a decision between a 5711 and a DD40 YG silver/roman.

Truth is I prefer the 5711 but it's important to me to be able to wear a watch all-day, everyday, all the time. The DD40 is probably more durable etc (although the WR of the 5711 is 120m v. the DD40 is 100m).

I'm a one-watch guy (except I wear a BR 03-92 on strap mostly in the winter).

I wear a TT ceramic sub at the moment (which i'm going to trade). I sleep with it, shower with it, splash around at the beach, take it in the pool, wear it to yoga, etc. I wouldn't obviously re-pave the driveway wearing my sub (or any watch).

What do you all think? Would I be expecting too much from the 5711? Is it too fragile? Am I putting the 5711 in too much danger of needing service (which I understand could take upwards of a year)?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

Mike
