Your experience is helpful. I very recently received a Royal Oak all steel as a gift and ever since have been quite unhappy with it. The bracelet, although properly sized, pinches my skin at every turn. I thought it might be otherwise with the 5711, which I agree is beautiful and which I have been considering in its place. I tried one on the other day and, to my chagrin, it wasn't much more comfortable that the RO. I thought it was just me, but apparently I am not the only one.
