A difficult choice

Aug 09, 2019,14:58 PM
 

I am a happy owner of a 5726, 5164, and an AP 15202 and Vacheron Constantin 1921. But I have always had a hankering for a 5711. I am being offered a 2018 5711 with a small amount of money for the 5726. Would I be crazy to consider this trade? I worry that the 15202 and 5711 might be too similar, although I wear my 15202 less and less as I perceive it to be fragile. Here are a few pics of said watches. Any help or advice gladly received. Is it madness to effectively trade down an annual calendar nautilus for a slimmer model?



















Thanks

I wouldn’t do it if I were you...like you said already...

5711 and 15202, both time only. 5726/1A still has a useful annual calendar and your model has discontinued, not the 5711. I don’t see how the 5711 is more appealing than the 5726. With your collection, assuming you have good relationships with an AD, you ... 

I would keep the 5726/1A

Very under-rated watch. As an owner you already know what a pleasure it is to wear.

I would keep the 5726.

It's a very nice piece -- so versatile, yet much more interesting than the 5711. Only downside versus the 5711 is the thickness. Cheers, John

I would do it if you can’t get one at AD

After wearing the 5726 you will find the 5711 very flimsy

I would keep the 5726 over the 5711. 5726 has a great and useful complication where as 5711 is time only . Iqbal

I think the only reason the 5711 is so popular is because we can’t get them. I also wanted one for that reason. I own a 5990 and love it. Keep yours, it’s beautiful and more functional.

Why all the fuzz for the 5711. The one you have is nicer 😋

Don't do it.

The 5726 is a cracker. The 15202 fits the spot for the OG luxury sportswatch and don't be afraid to wear it hard. R
