5711R or 5726/1A-001 Stainless Steel

[kultschar]

Use the Aqua / Hulk when your at your desk etc

5711R when out and about and away from any “diving”

Thats what I do with my 5711 / 5167. My 5711 still mint like new

Ouch... I think when I finally get mine, I will wear it very very carefully. Or it will end up in my bank safe keeping my RG Skeleton company.

Skeletons belong on wrists, or at least in closets, not in bank vaults! It's a sin, my friend.

I was exaggerating a bit, it's just like my Rolexes as all polished surfaces mark up as you know, but I do try to protect it, esp the bezel and as you have other watches you should be able to keep it looking great for a long time.

By the way my AP RG 44 hasn't got a mark on it, maybe a tiny one on the case, but it is so well protected it has become my PM beater even over the Subc! Still looks brand new after a year and half.

How protected? Special force field of zen watch awareness? Genuinely curious as to how it looks brand new after 1.5 years. The RO is a scratch magnet isn't it?

Why not do it They're both beautiful pieces.

Because it has a ceramic bezel and on rubber strap so the usual avenues of marks are blocked, and like I say near pristine after a year and a half, I almost want to put a mark on it to prove it's not a safe queen!

It is a ROO, not a RO which is very different.

Sounds like you could take it into a warzone. Or at least on the beach

I’d go for the 5711R, for a gold watch it is very light (comparing it to my Gold royal oak AP)...it’s a very special watch ❤️

Given the criteria 5726/1A. Its a great looking watch too so its not a bad choice. Im considering it.

I agree to what Tyler have said. If you're considering wearing it regularly I personally think the 5726/1A would be a better option.
