NEITHER. Must Keep Both! Sorry, my answer doesn't help! [nt]
No message body
Please put your reply in the title, if you had to KEEP one of these 2 ...
Just having a discussion and I want to know which of these you would keep. So you own both and want to sell one. Would you KEEP the 5070R or would you keep the 5711/a btw, a poll function on this site would be welcome ...
Keep 5070R and ...
sell 5711 Then with 5711 proceeds, sell 5070R and to use funds from selling both pieces to buy a 5070P
How is 5711 mass-produced?
The current prices are a result of supply shortage vs. demand
Come on my friend that's a silly question.
Ummmmmmmm let me think 🤔 Low production chronograph complication V Over hyped Unattractive large production sports watch. 5070 all day long. Or sell both and get a 5970 M.
5711
There is only one Nautilus by Genta There are many chronograph which is comparable or arguably better. You can even go to the super gorgeous 5370 Oh my God, I cant even mention 5370 without taking a deep breath
5070R all day, every day for me!
You even had the KEEP in caps for it - subconscious preference being revealed.
Dump the 5711 while the market remains strong.
Steel entry level watches will come and go; the 5070 remains in a class by itself. Once you peel away all the hype, objectively there really is no comparison. Whenever i think of the 5711, two words come to mind: irrational, exuberance.
I would take a 5070R,STILL
I find it very inappropriate to mock a reference some members here own,love and cherish including me,You have the right to dislike a watch but to attack with words like “hideously ugly” is “hideously ugly” ! You are violating the forum rules and you have ...
Here we go again. Ok I'm sorry.
I’ll keep all opinions to myself in future. I did try to find other words but struggled. I personally think overhyped is equally strong as ugly which seems to be regularly used here and acceptable. Having a good laugh at the choice is another way someone ...
Those that have known me for many years know I don’t do cocktail parties where only compliments and back patting is allowed.
So I guess I’m not welcome here any more. Miles.
Then there is a lesson to be learnt here
One needs to be able to express an opinion without being offensive as that is the intelligent thing to do.
easy for me , keep 5070R
why ? I wear watches for enjoyment and I can't enjoy Nautilus because its a scratch magnet piece
5070R
Without a doubt especially with all the hype and speculations associated with Nautilus
that was the reason why I posted it here
could not believe the results on that other forum. My only explanation is that rolexforums ( which I also like) is more about sports watches
If you had two children and could only save one...
from falling off a cliff, which one would you save? It's sorta like that question. I think no matter what decision you make in a scenario like this, you're going to wonder from time to time if you made the right decision.
What is the motivation for selling one and do you have another sports watch to fill the void? For sake of conversation let’s say it’s financial...
In that case I would sell the 5711 for major profit, buy a Royal Oak stainless black or gray dial from an AP boutique for $19k for daily wear as a sports watch, and then have a significant amount of profit from the 5711 to put towards whatever it is you m...
not selling
but got into the discussion on that other forum and just wanted to check if my feeling was still ok Look at my avatar, do you think I would sell a 5070 (I did not start that other post, I'm not selling anything )
Keep 5070R
That one would probably more fitted to be worn by your grand children's wedding in the future 😊. For Nautilus, I just think that it was a little bit overhyped and more into a fashion statement piece rather than pure watchmaking art in a nutshell... Best J...
Both are great watches.
Both very different yet both great. 5711A is a very versatile watch which one can wear almost in all occasions. Truly comfortable and amazingly beautiful. One of my personal most preferred modern Nautilus together with 5712 and 5980. 5070 is a cool classi...
5070 but not a level playing field....compare 5070 to 5170G
And I would have completely different view
Depends
They are very different, but both can be worn with a suit - your choice depending on your character: do you want something more official or more sporty?
5070R, for sure...
the Nautilus/Aquanaut/Royal Oak bubble will eventually burst, but the 5070 series has proved itself over the long term. In the end, "classic" always wins because everybody comes back around to it, eventually. -Dean
