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 may need.

I have an AP Royal Oak stainless blue dial that I purchased at MSRP for only $17k and I feel great every time I wear it knowing it’s a great value and so sought after, and I got it for its real price. For that reason I use it as a true sports watch and am unafraid to beat it up.

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 ...

The current prices are a result of supply shortage vs. demand

Mainly cause of the size and the steel nautilus being an all rounder.

5070r is a keeper

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.

5070 R

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

You even had the KEEP in caps for it - subconscious preference being revealed.

Dump the 5711 while the market remains strong.

 
 By: sam1234 : December 7th, 2019-06:34
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.

You forgot hideously ugly.

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.

 
 By: Miles_151 : December 9th, 2019-01:02
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 ... 

Apology accepted

You can share your opinion but always remember “Cocktail party”.

Then there is a lesson to be learnt here

 
 By: beejo : December 10th, 2019-02:20
One needs to be able to express an opinion without being offensive as that is the intelligent thing to do.

So we agree on double standards.

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...

Depends

 
 By: CastorKrieg : December 13th, 2019-00:39
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...

 
 By: watchme : December 18th, 2019-05:56
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
