As someone who owns an AP...
I would say yes, make the trade. I love the RO, but the Offshores just don't do anything for me. I find the limited edition that comes out each time a watch maker there sneezes, quite tiresome. I know people love huge watches, but I find the Offshore sort of a bloated distortion of a beautiful design...and to me it loses something in the transformation. Now if it were a RO 15202 Jumbo...I'd say keep it, and just save up so you can eventually own both : )
Best regards,

Would you trade stainless steel Royal Oak Offshore for PP 5711?
Guys! I have an idea to sell my steel offshore with black dial on rubber strap and buy PP NAUTILUS 5711. For sure I would need to add some extra cash for this trade. Do you think it makes sense? Of course 5711 is not tool watch compared to Submariner let ...
yes absolutely
i never really had a like for the offshore models , i wear the 5711 everyday and as long as your prepared to live with a few scratches and marks on it(as its prone to accumulating them) you'll be fine. i also swim with it occasionally as its rated to 120m...
No-brainer!
Yes, I would. Without any hesitation. ROO has been very fashionable for a long time. But what's so special with this watch from where an unlimited amount of "Limited Editions" are published? It's about as nice than a similar looking watch starting with H....
Consensus omnium?
Thank you all, guys! Personally i do understand that we are all biased here and being pro-Patek it’s difficult to judge between two great watches.:) But, aesthetically I do agree that Nau looks much sophisticated and refined compared to ROO. The main issu...
About water resistance
I don't know what the Moscow AD speaks. If a watch is water resistant in the pressure test to 120 meters, it can easily take swimming and scuba diving. I have been diving with Nautilus 3710 and Aquanaut 5167 without any problems. Just take care that the w...
Kari, are you sure about every year seal verification?
too often for Hi-End watch, isnt it?
I am.
The check takes only 2 minutes or so and I have never heard that an AD would charge anything for that. To check to water tightness annually is recommended i.e. by Patek and Rolex. Best, Kari
LOL Kari! Totally agree with you.....
but be carefull with the "H" word :).....I know what I am talking about. Cheers Francois
Best beater ever
I got rid of all my beaters (Rolexes, PAM 88) for the 5711. Wearing it today in the ocean. Great non-complication sports watch. My keeps impeccable time.
Easy choice
I would do that deal every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The 5711 is in a league all its own and the Offshore is nice, but again, not even close in my mind to the 5711
In terms of choice .....
....... it should be to trade for a 5711. but as an everyday watch, i think i prefer a rubber strap watch, simply because the strap is something you can exchange when it gets old. The problem with a steel nautilus bracelet, once the screws are loose ( lik...
Re Aquanaut
I thought about that but my perception of Aquanaut is "light version of Nautilus"...:)
I have been wearing Nautilus since 2005
but in 8 years I have been wearing my Nautilus watches a smaller amount of hours than my 5167 during the past 12 months. Many say that Aquanaut is the most comfortable watch ever. In my opinion it's an understatement even I don't know what would be more t...
Yes, abso-frigging-lutely yes
But, to be fair, I have little love for AP ROOs! AP 15202 ST would be a tougher comparison versus the 5711 given the shared Genta genetics.
Anytime!
I have owned both. I would still own the 5711 if I didn't have to "sacrifice" it for a steel 5980.
Thank you!
To be honest i dont inderstand the look of subdial of 5980. Maybe it will grow for me someday and my taste will change, but this small digits on subdial looks a bit messy for me.
Been swimming in mine for the last couple of days..
...on holiday in Portugal and I'm glad to say it hasn't taken on water yet!!
I have been tens of times
down to 40 m with watches that are water resistant to 100 meters. No problems! Next time I'm going diving, I'll take 5167 to 40 meters (as a PADI Divemaster I do not exceed that with more than a couple of meters) and take a couple of photos. I am totally ...
Kari, please be careful, there are a lot of
Second World War underwater mines in Baltic Sea. I know what i am talking about...
I'm not that crazy!
Did you know that Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea of the globe? There are a couple of nations around who let all the shit from their cities go basically uncleaned to the sea. Small Finland has built cleaning facilities to the neighboring states but th...
