Assuming I didn’t already have one - or the other I would go 5711 - hands down.

aquanaut if your wrist can pull it off. Pateks look particularly bad if they are too big

I’d have to see it on my wrist but aqua chrono most likely would be my pick. I just prefer the aqua.

5711, I wasn't quite feeling the orange or the oblong subdial when I had it on.

Retail price is about 14k different. But I'll pick 5711
Thinking the 5968 might be too big

5711 all the way, it's such a classic (and beautiful). Not a fan of the orange Aquanaut, while I do love the regular 5167.

5968. That said, it's not small and I wonder how it would wear. Looks amazing in photos.
