Thanks for your thoughts!

 

Wisefull thoughts; thanks!

Nevertheless, I am looking for a comparison between the 5167 and the 5711, not other brands. As you see: I am wondering if I shall switch my 5167 with a 5711G - or perhaps a 5711/1A. I am of course considering other brands on other fields. (My City of sails

I have the 'blings'. smile   I am looking for a discrete companion, yes. But the 5167 is even more discrete than I could imagine... smile

Thanks again!

Another try: how does a 5711 (Nautilus) feels compared to the 5167 (Aquanaut)?

See my prior post: patek.watchprosite.com = Can anyone tell me how the 5711 size feels like compared to the 5167? - Also hence to the weight and and 'wrist feeling`? I'm first and foremost interested in a comparison with the 5711G, the white gold model, b...  

Yes, it's actually hardly noticeable...

Thanks for your reply! My problem is a kind of the opposite: I am used to heavy and large watches on my thin wrist - and I hardly feel that I'm wearing my 5167 . I love the heavy - but comfortable - feeling of watch material on my arm. When writing this I...  

5711R

I find the 5711R to be a lighter watch than the Panerai 45mm black seal, and a very different weight to a rolex daytona or a 5960P. If you like weightier watches , the stainless 5711/1A with metal bracelet is probably more your taste. I found it too heavy... 

5711J

I have a 5711J. I have not owned a 5167. I did try on a 5167. I thought from the few minutes of comparison I had that the 5167 felt a lot lighter. And I imagine the 5711/1A would be even heavier than a 5711J because of the metal band. As to size, although... 

If the 5711 'wears' 40mm, what then about the 5167?

Thank you so much for your kind response, Glenn. This was usefull. I am really hoping that the 5711(G) will give a bit heavier feeling. But if 5711 'wears' like a 40mm, what would you say the Aquanaut 5167 wears like? I'd say under 40mm, amd the case is a... 

I can't compare

In my opinion there is no comparing the 5167 or 5711 with other sports watches on the market. If anything, I believe these pieces stand alone as Patek's definition of sports watches. The thinness of the cases are in line with Patek's general design DNA, a...
