My AD is holding a 5711 White dial for a few days for me. I have a 5711 Blue on the way. I will probably have it this year. Overkill??????

texex91 · 3 December 2016, 09:58 AM

Yes...overkill.

YMMV.

Peterandwatches · 3 December 2016, 10:27 AM

Nah, I don't think it would be redundant to have two virtually identical pieces.

CharlesGenta · 3 December 2016, 10:34 AM

You can afford it. Go for it. Not overkill. Different dial color complements different moods, dressing, occasion etc.

Vipes · 3 December 2016, 10:43 AM

Too redundant for me.

RussW · 3 December 2016, 10:45 AM

Probably, but I say go for it. Add a1.5 link to one and you've got a summer and winter nautilus.

goog53 · 3 December 2016, 11:22 AM

You have a killer collection already just add the blue dial and keep the cash for the white dial to put towards something else

AK797 · 3 December 2016, 11:28 AM

Yeah for me, must be some other Nauts or Aquas interesting you too?

kneedeep · 3 December 2016, 01:23 PM

I'd not have both.

Chute · 3 December 2016, 01:30 PM

Plenty of people on this forum would tell you to get both when discussing the white vs black stainless Daytona.

I don't see a problem with both a blue and white 5711, one for blue shirt day and one for white shirt day.

If you don't want the white one please PM me, I'm looking for a white 5711

mdtddd2007 · 3 December 2016, 01:34 PM

Sure I would. Love both!

JP Chestnut · 3 December 2016, 01:38 PM

If you really like the watch design, why not?

PJ S · 3 December 2016, 01:39 PM

If you like both, then get both – if you decide later that one isn’t for you, you’ll either make a few bob or lose next to nothing on the re-sale.

thejerseyrock · 3 December 2016, 01:43 PM

If you have the means, why not?

Widyhs · 3 December 2016, 02:20 PM

same watch, two different characters altogether.

incontrol · 3 December 2016, 02:55 PM

I don't think I would buy both since they are very much the same. If, however, I thought these were the two watches I loved the most then I would have to.

I would defo own both - the dials are very different and the 5711 to me is the most versatile PP

In fact I have a white dial 5711 waiting for me to collect at my AD

mps354 · 3 December 2016, 11:29 PM

If you like it that much go ahead...it's a great reference

codecow · 4 December 2016, 12:11 AM

I wouldn't.

sechsgang · 4 December 2016, 12:23 AM

As someone who has both Explorer II 42 models, I'd still say not worth having both 5711s. They aren't different enough to warranty that amount of money out.

ap1 · 4 December 2016, 12:23 AM

How many have two subs. You get my point. Personally I'd like Neil to chime in with his solution.

JorgeCCW · 4 December 2016, 12:46 AM

Yep , overkill

Racerdj · 4 December 2016, 12:56 AM

A little overkill. When the blue dial model comes in, the white face might sit idle more than average.

subtona · 4 December 2016, 12:59 AM

Blue & done

metdrdg · 4 December 2016, 02:29 AM

Overkill. Too many other great options out there.

locutus49 · 4 December 2016, 02:43 AM

You can always flip one for a profit, so go for it. Money in the bank.

jon_jon · 4 December 2016, 02:44 AM

I would say go for it if you think you will wear them both on different occasions.

KarlS · 4 December 2016, 03:06 AM

The white is really nice....go for it

I have two subs as you say, but my rule is it's okay if one is in PM.

KBM · 4 December 2016, 04:31 AM

I wouldn't. If the blue is also up for discussion, a nice option would be to change that to a 15202 and get the white 5711...
