I believe the aquanaut and the pilot are such different watches you need both! The 5711 is a no brainer...IMO if you want to sell/trade a watch FOR ANY REASON it’s your money and your business. I love the Purist site and all the people that are much more watch smart than I but to eliminate the value proposition discussion entirely is to rob even purists of a valuable consideration for the total experience...Jim

Will the Aquanaut go the same way as the 5711?
By: westrop : September 5th, 2018-00:51
I’m on the waiting list for a 5711 and recently had the opportunity to try one at my AD. Sitting on my wrist with my Aquanaut I think there is room for both in my collection but I know which one speaks to my heart more! Perhaps Nautilus prices have reache...
Connoisseur-ship is not just about value, but also buy something you love.

Connoisseur-ship is not just about value, but also buying something you love. Two of the three paragraphs of the body of your message are all about price and value increases. I say the best pieces are the 5100 and 6000. Those are truly rare pieces. I do s...
Sounds like you are speculating on watches.

And asking for a market (Purists) assessment of whether you should continue to hold the Aquanaut as an asset or trade to something else that you consider more valuable. I do not think this is the right place to ask that question or expect an answer. I sug...
If you really liked the pilot travel time watch you should buy one.

And if the Aquanaut has to be sold then just sell it. But at a price that is higher than what you bought it. Here's a formula you could ponder upon. Lets say a watch you bought cost 1k in $ 4 yrs ago. Now a similar model if your watch is discountinued or ...
let us make a gentleman's deal...

you love Aquanaut, so keep it. i love 5711 but could't get it from retail - so introduce me to your AD. 5711 is a keeper for me so if you get it at retail you buy it. Best, mahesh.,
Then keep it.

I wish I could get on a list :)

Other than say on this forum, I don't actually know anyone else who owns a PP. my friends ( as in my face to face non- internet) just aren't in those circles. I would love an acquaintance who was on the list but didn't want a 5711. Technically I'm on a li...
I’m the only guy in my circle of friends with a Patek too.
By: westrop : September 8th, 2018-03:35
They know I love watches but they just don’t get it. I agree too it’s hard to be taken seriously at an AD especially if they don’t know you and they look at what’s on your wrist. I waited just under 4 years for my Aquanaut, principally because I moved loc...
Keep the 5167
By: Poky : September 5th, 2018-16:08
Yes, the prices will continue to rise. I nearly sold mine and am so glad I didn't. Three dealers (they were proper ADs in London) told me to keep it and that was just over a year ago. It is great value for money and I think a great model, the same movemen...
I think price and availability in comparison to the 5711...
By: kennygfunk : September 6th, 2018-17:56
is partially responsible for the increased popularity of the aquanaut. However, I think it could surpass the 5711 with a little tweaking. For starters, I would ONLY change the part of the casing where it attaches to the strap so that you can fit the 5711 ...
