New additions - opinions needed
Hello
All advice sought. I can't make a decision.
Thinking of purchasing 2 watches:
1st decision 5980 a - white dial v 5712a. I know the 5980 is now discontinued so it's last chance. However, I am not sure of the white dial. It looks great but is it true Patek. The blue dials seem to hold better in market.
2nd decision 5164a v 5167a. Both great watches. Simplicity or complication.
I already own a 5146.
Thank you for your opinions help in advance

is 3712 / 5712. Also 3700 / 5711 is a great watch! Both of these watches are very thin and I like that complication a lot. Aquanaut with 2nd time zone is a very nice watch with a useful complication for somebody who travels. Best, Kari

not knowing anything about you besides the fact that you own a 5146…. below are my 4c: 1) 5712A & 5167A; winner combo, but have to admit I am quite biased since I happen to own these. You can not go wrong with these 2, especially not as a complement t...

I have seen other white dial Nautilaus models (5711A and 5726A), but have not seen the 5980A white dial in person. In looking at photos, the contrast appears a bit off comapred to the blue dial 5980A. However it is a relatively inexpensive way to obtain a...
