Hi, PJ!
You probably refer to 5167, the Aquanaut. It is sportier than the 5711 which, in my opinion, is more appropriate for daily wear. I personally find 5711 a bit more comfortable to wear because of its thinner case and bracelet. It depends on your dressing style and your lifestyle also. Service period of time should be the same for both, once per 4 years for the movement and yearly check for the water resistance. 5711 used to be a bit more difficult to find but hear that is not the same these days.
One thing is sure: you will enjoy any of these two. Good luck with your decision.

Both watches are certainly ones to consider however, be aware that these are not watches that can withstand a lot of hard wear as a sub would. Everyday wear is fine as long as you're not going to be chopping down trees or the like. Service with take appro...
