But I don't like nautilus. I am rare. Also no one impressed by the watches I have or wear so doesn't matter to me what is in. Buy what you'll wear.

5711 vs Darth
By: Chromatic Fugue : January 11th, 2022-23:50
Hi all -- as I posted a few months back, I got a good deal on a 5711 blue and went ahead and bought it. I really quite like it, in the way that I really like any well-fitting sports watch: it looks great and feels great on the wrist. I admittedly was infl...
Brave and bold move.

Speaks volumes where you stand as to your "collecting evolution". I'd do it in a heart beat, but I'm a Lange junkie. Good luck either way and thanks for your contribution! 🙏😉👍
Absolutely...

Unless the 5711 economics (anticipated appreciation) make the trade unbearable, I would definitely go for a piece you love and will wear over a piece that merely looks good on a winder. The Darth is a great Lange...under the radar and relatively rare. Che...

The Darth is so much more watch

I would never keep the 5711 because of the hype. If you don't wear it, take the profit and get the lange

Platinum and all black Lange 1? Yes please!

OMG, how that Darth’s spaceship went supersonic 😱 There was an ex-moderator sold his here in the CM in late 2020 for less than $28k and I was actually tempted. Now I can only congratulate the brand from afar. Oh by the way, congrats to you too, saw watch ...
thanks, and alternative idea

Hi all -- thanks for your comments, and must say I'm impressed by the pro-Darth consensus on the Patek forum. That said, I'm having second thoughts: as Clueless Collector says, the price asked here is literally unprecedented, and by a wide margin. My own ...
As Gilda Radner would say...

never mind! One's first instinct is usually the right one; my first instinct was to go with the Darth, and that's what I'm going with. Many thanks to everyone who responded to my initial post.
easy decision

The 5711 would be more my style of these two (though I prefer AP), but this is an easy decision...always go with what YOU like most rather than what is hyped most. (One of my "mistakes" early on was getting a Daytona, not because I loved it, but because e...
