External opinion: 5711 vs 5167 + 5170G

[francksav]

Just a thought I had,

If one could get hold of a 5711 only or both a 5167 and 5170g (white dial) for the same price in total. What would you do?

Not talking in terms of resale value as I don’t really flip watches. If I could I’d get all 3 as I like them all but budget doesn’t allow it…

5170G and 5167 would be at msrp or below. While 5711 would be at secondary market prices.

Extremely easy choice for me. 5167 + 5170G

5711 is one of my favorite watches but I would go with 5167 and 5170g. Much better value and more versatility with the duo.

Although I absolutely love the 5711, I would definitely opt for the combination of 5167 and 5170g. If you can make that 5167 a 5167r, you are definitely winner IMHO!

Or better yet a 5764 preferably R or stainless- if you can buy at MSR please don’t hesitate!
Although I love my 5711 stainless, if you are offered the opportunity to buy the others ,you will never be sorry , imo james michael :-))

Whoops I meant 5164

5170g is one of my favorite refs, just feel like you're getting way more bang for your buck with the two watch option and more versatility. This is coming from someone who absolutely loves the 5711.

Depends on what else is in your watch box. In a vacuum, I’d probably go with the 5167 and 5170.

Apparently I am voting 5711 with my wallet as I will not trade into 5167 + 5170G.

A decade ago I passed on 5167 and haven't looked back. It felt a little large on my wrist, definitely larger than 5711. Also, 5167 somehow felt like a nice beater to me. And 15k back then felt high for a new beater I didn't really need. 5170G white gets you a lot of bang for the buck but would feel like settling to me as 5170P looks much better in my eyes.

Based on my experience in these situations with watches in general but especially Patek.
Pick your two favorites of the bunch. Buy what you can afford now, save for the other one later.

For me, I’d do 5711 and 5170 here and would rather have these two added over a span of years. If you want all 3, prioritize which one comes first then second then third.

Tough one, I’m not a strap guy and the Nautilus bracelet wears like silk from what I’m told. I think I’d go with the Nautilus.

The 5711 is a brilliant watch but to get two good watches for the price of one is good business.

[GB-man]

I prefer either 5167 or 5170 straight up to 5711. This one would be very very easy to me.

Not even contest 5167 and 5170, of course. 5711 is nice but probably one of the most overrated watches in watch history, I see 5711 as a Jumbo follower, the original Genta.
