Great watch Joey, but hey where's the review on the forum for the Aquanaut?

There's one for the Nautilus located here:

http://www.rolexforums.com/~trfcom/s...35#post3174235

I mean if the watch aint worth reviewing.

I'm just saying.

herbie911 · 27 March 2012, 05:10 PM

I think both are great watches. I will go for the Nautilus first as you can wear that with either casual or formal occasion.

masterkiller · 27 March 2012, 05:28 PM

Nautulus witout an doubt, for me it's a no brainer...

Puffy · 27 March 2012, 06:44 PM

Like joey i'm also a 5167 owner

and if it's good enough for Paul and Ringo it's good for anyone wanting to buy their first

thing that put me off the Nautilus is the flimsy bracelet.

5711/1A--all day long, every day. Or, the new 5726/1A: what an INCREDIBLE Nautilus!

HL65 · 27 March 2012, 07:53 PM

Either way you can't go wrong--they are all nice!!

Huge Congrats Eric.

Personally I think it is about time we have another 5711 owner around these parts. I was start to get loney here all by myself. Almost makes me want to cry.

Hey Eric, here's something to hold you over until your pickup day!!!

dmlkw0102 · 28 March 2012, 11:49 PM

another vote for the 5167 over the 5711!i find the 5167 a perfect marriage of casual and dressy, and it looks great with a suit,and with a tshirt and jeans. of course having said that, the 5711 seems great for both those occasions as well

maybe it has to do a little with the age of the wearer as well!the aquanaut i feel could possibly attract the younger crowd,while the 5711 attracts somewhat more mature owners i guess? i chose the 5167 as i felt it felt right with my age(turned 20 last month) and i felt that i could still use it when i was 40 or 60(refer to the the beatles' pics above!they look way cool with those 5167s!)!the nautilus just seemed a little too mature for me for now..of course,if i was older,maybe 30, my decision might have been really different altogether!

love both watches and patek as a brand!

heres my 5167 saying hello!

Ah my young friend needn't have to worry, having young people around us like you makes us feel younger too.

So we will never leave you out in the cold.

DiamondJack · 29 March 2012, 03:52 AM

Both absolutely amazing watches........

But for me, if I wasn't going for the Nautilus moonphase daydate 5726 or Chrono 5980, I would go for the 5176 on rubber as the detail on the dial is just stunning and quite a modern take on a traditional style.

But hey..... I'd have both in a heartbeat......

Is 35 too young for a Patek?

haha not at all!i just feel the 5167 might catch the eye of younger people while the 5711 might catch the eye of the relatively "older" people!i feel no age is too young or too old for anything!35 isn't too young at all!buy whatever sings to you,regardless of your age!if you're 18 and you absolutely can't take ur eyes off a patek or ap grande complication in yellow/rose gold then i say you aren't too young for that either!

Eric,

Most people can't afford one at any age...... so you're clearly well ahead of the game having one tucked away at 35....

Enjoy as I'm sure you are ......

Absolutely beautiful watches.
