Another 5711/1a vs 5167a question
I know this has been asked many, many times before, but I'm at the crossroads and am looking for last minute help. I just picked up a 5196J and love it and am looking for another everyday "sporty" Patek. My choice is between a 5711/1a and 5167a on rubber strap. I've owned both in the past (should've never sold them) and have to say that I do like the 5711/1a just a bit more. However, given that both pieces have the same movement, is the price difference worth it? I'd be saving over $4k if I went with the Aquanaut. HELP!!!

My problem is I like the 5711 just a tiny tad more than the Aquanaut. Just wondering if it's really worth spending an extra $4k for it. I think it's going to come down which watch looks better on my wrist vs. with is a better watch.
