honest opinions about 5711 (pro's/con's)
most know me for being very anal when looking into details/etc..
curious to those that have had the chance to fondle a 5711.. what your opinions were...
meing being an audemars person first and foremost i immediately relate it to the royal oak date (not only because they share designers (genta) but because of layout similarities) and because of this i feel the watch would be more "wholesome" without a seconds hand... but i think i can get over that..
as far as movement/finishing/other quirks.... what are your opinions on the piece?
please be as honest (and blunt) as possible... i encourage you to voice your dislikes just as much as likes so i can get a true response, rather than biased

many commun points with the royal oak...
... beside the hands and the brushing of the case, the main common point is how genta succeeded in doing a timeless design. Main problem of the 5711 is that the 5712 looks so much nicer, makes the 5711 looks dry and boring. If we want to be picky, the ear...
5711 more comfortable
While they look similar, 5711 wears more comfortably than 15300. 15300 however has a better looking movement. Both great watches to have but there is a significant price difference to consider....
You asked to be blunt...
Please do not understand my answer to be offensive - I just want to be honest as you asked for! I would not buy a Nautilus at all - IMHO these sports watches are not real Pateks - they are just attempts to cover the sports watches segment in the market. W...
Took courage to say that, but you are spot on
Nautilus and Aquanaut are a feeble attempt at a sports watch, totally not in keeping with what made PP famous. As such, there are more of a beginners Patek for a fickle collector market that is getting bludgeoned vlauewise as of late. If you must get a Na...
I have a 5711/1A
as displayed in "docbchan's" e-mail above. In fact, I sold the very same AP in that e-mail and then purchased the 5711. I found the AP RO to be rather uncomfortable while the 5711 to the contrary is quite comfortable. It doesn't matter how beautiful a wat...
Ok buddy I will be very blunt
The 5711 will keep you excited from the moment you walk into tilted Kilt, until our cute little waitress brings your third sprite, then you will tell me how boring the watch is and the search will be on again. Face it Riley, you are Mr. catch and release....
Simple & pure
that´s why I really like the Ref. 5711 and love the Ref. 3700. 3712 & 5712 - the dial is just to busy for me. The cal. 240 is great, but I would prefer it in another watch. Anyway, I love this kind of subjective "discussions". LOL Oliver
