Why is an opinion of “elegant lines and simple beauty” any different to one of “ over hyped, overrated and boring”???
Just my opinion like other people have theirs.
Is it because it’s a negative opinion and only positive opinions are allowed???
Crazy situation.

Sorry I will put my neck on the block here.
This watch is THE most boring watch on the planet at the moment. The most posted watch on IG It is so over rated it’s unbelievable. At best it is average as a sports watch and that’s being kind. M.
No need to say sorry.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion on each object or subject. To each their own.
I thank you for your attitude.
I am so disappointed that this is where the market seems to be. At absolute best this watch is a very low rated sports watch. Made by Patek and hard to buy at retail. Other than that please enlighten me what is it??? M.
I don’t consider it a sports watch myself.
I got it because I love the case shape, case thinness and the blue shades on the dial. I can wear it with all outfit. Very versatile for me.
I had one and sold it
I tend to agree with both you and Miles 🙈 The 5711 has a sportiness about it. It has a certain design flair. But at the same time it is stunning to me that it gets the attention that it does. It’s a sporty watch but not a sports watch for me. Easy to wear...
Agreed with the points.
Since people hold polarizing views of it, it’s not a “boring” watch by any means. 😉
a perfect example of your ego?
just because you cannot understand something, you define it as wrong. in this case you call it boring. it seems most clear that you have never understood the Nautilus reference. but rather than accept that YOU are missing something you instead argue that ...
That’s fine you’ve told me. I except your view and opinion.
Sorry to all Nautilus owners out there if I offended any of you. Miles signing out.
For the record Guru.
Over the last 35 years of collecting I’ve forgotten more than you will know. I’ve handled hundreds of watches over these years. Yes at a time when knowledge and experience could only be gained by touching and handling watches not by sitting behind a scree...

This is exactly how I see it.
People are free to share their opinions of the same subjects. There are always two sides and that’s what makes a great forum for people to share their views as long as they are not personal attacks. I personally went from hate to love for this watch so I ...
mj23. Absolutely spot on.
There are 2 sides to all opinions. But if we can only have the happy clappy version then that is a sad day. M.
always good to have two civilised difference of opinion
MJ23 shows great manners. You do not. you know you can disagree without being rude and ignorant?
Thanks, Miles.
The iPhone and 5711 did 99.99% of the job for me. 😉 I just had to click the button. 🤣

Easy to answer this. One shows good manners and intelligence and the other is rude and sort of thing one says hiding behind screen.
Opinions are best given when requested.
A owner posting a superb photo of a lovely piece and wishing everyone a great weekend I would suggest is not the best thread to use for venting your thoughts. Just my humble opinion.
I see a lot of boring watches in there, too!😋
But I also believe I understood what you meant when you said it's the most boring watch "right now". Today with IG, more than ever before you can see where trends are going and what the "it" watch is. Seems like anyone who ever had a chance ever to hold t...
Lol. I’d love to know your boring in there just to prove the point.
I agree with you about the “it” watch. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 M.
The Apple Watch ...
... is easily more boring. With each Series wearers get closer to wearing their Phone or Laptop on their wrist and further away from the mechanical self-winding elegance of a Patek. Now, ... I'm actually partial to the more complicated offerings within th...
Thanks for your feedback, Mean Solar Time.
Can’t agree more. It’s the simplicity dial yet changing shades of blue/grey that is so captivating.
There's no doubt a LOT of Patek Philippe enthusiasts appreciate ...
... the stealthy nature of many references offered by the manufacturer. The 5711/1A is a perfect example of exactly this? Miles_151 is not new to the Patek forum and surely he gets this ... especially sporting a Salmon Perpetual Chrono ... so I'm thinking...
Bad day ??? Wales beat us in the rugby.
A terrible day....... I just don’t get the Nautilus at all. I just need to keep my opinion to myself and make the best of the time I have. Sorry mj23. Good job we are all different Enjoy Best. Miles.
I too like the assymetrical case. Shape of watch, the porthole shape really makes it unique.
Fits your wrist nicely. Tfs. Handsome, watch. As I said before slim, sleek and sexy. All Patek's, my opinion. 👍 Cheers, mj23. 🍻 Geross
You really nailed it with that shot. Simply stunning!
it is a truly wonderful watch to look at and on the wrist.
