I chose 5711 over 5167 (still think that way), as for price I think 5711 is crazily priced now but the market determines the price/''value''
Don't think 5167 will surpass 5711 as it's a different watch and history. The price of 5711 will keep going up? Nobody knows but look at Rolex's prices now 
How high can you go?
Will the Aquanaut go the same way as the 5711?
I’m on the waiting list for a 5711 and recently had the opportunity to try one at my AD. Sitting on my wrist with my Aquanaut I think there is room for both in my collection but I know which one speaks to my heart more! Perhaps Nautilus prices have reache...
Connoisseur-ship is not just about value, but also buy something you love.
Connoisseur-ship is not just about value, but also buying something you love. Two of the three paragraphs of the body of your message are all about price and value increases. I say the best pieces are the 5100 and 6000. Those are truly rare pieces. I do s...
You are right... I am interested in people's opinon on the value of the Aquanaut. Somedays I love mine and some days it leave me cold, that's why I have the 5100 (I can't see myself letting that one go) and the 6000.
I do aspire to being a Nautilus owner. I passed on a 5990 this year because it was too thick in my view. Now I've seen the 5711 I don't prefer it to my Aquanaut and I wonder if my desire is based on speculation. TBH I won't know what I'll do until it's th...
Sounds like you are speculating on watches.
And asking for a market (Purists) assessment of whether you should continue to hold the Aquanaut as an asset or trade to something else that you consider more valuable. I do not think this is the right place to ask that question or expect an answer. I sug...
I see what you mean, but, no I'm not speculating on watches. I couldn't afford the Pilot without selling the Aquanaut and I decided I couldn't do that and
it got me thinking about the crazy value of the Nautilus. I won't buy a watch that I won't keep: I could have made a big profit on the 5990 for example if that was my motivation and possibly on the pilot. I would imagine that plenty of purists have sold a...

i think yes based on the fact that this one is the entry level sports model from the manufacturer even now the
premium is very similar on the secondary market and if the trend continues the gap will be narrower , myself didn t really care with Aquas used to be but I m on a list at my AD .
If you really liked the pilot travel time watch you should buy one.
And if the Aquanaut has to be sold then just sell it. But at a price that is higher than what you bought it. Here's a formula you could ponder upon. Lets say a watch you bought cost 1k in $ 4 yrs ago. Now a similar model if your watch is discountinued or ...
let us make a gentleman's deal...
you love Aquanaut, so keep it. i love 5711 but could't get it from retail - so introduce me to your AD. 5711 is a keeper for me so if you get it at retail you buy it. Best, mahesh.,
Personally I would prefer the pilot
Aquanaut to me is a bit feminine, never liked it. Aesthetics is subjective. so anyways.
Hi Westrop
I believe the aquanaut and the pilot are such different watches you need both! The 5711 is a no brainer...IMO if you want to sell/trade a watch FOR ANY REASON it’s your money and your business. I love the Purist site and all the people that are much more ...
I wish I could get on a list :)
Other than say on this forum, I don't actually know anyone else who owns a PP. my friends ( as in my face to face non- internet) just aren't in those circles. I would love an acquaintance who was on the list but didn't want a 5711. Technically I'm on a li...
I’m the only guy in my circle of friends with a Patek too.
They know I love watches but they just don’t get it. I agree too it’s hard to be taken seriously at an AD especially if they don’t know you and they look at what’s on your wrist. I waited just under 4 years for my Aquanaut, principally because I moved loc...
Keep the 5167
Yes, the prices will continue to rise. I nearly sold mine and am so glad I didn't. Three dealers (they were proper ADs in London) told me to keep it and that was just over a year ago. It is great value for money and I think a great model, the same movemen...
I think price and availability in comparison to the 5711...
is partially responsible for the increased popularity of the aquanaut. However, I think it could surpass the 5711 with a little tweaking. For starters, I would ONLY change the part of the casing where it attaches to the strap so that you can fit the 5711 ...
There is always room for a 5711/1A, especially getting it from the AD at retail price ! LOL !
Enjoy your Aquanaut in the meantime. For me, if it came down to continue owning the Aquanaut, or selling the Aquanaut to fund the 5711 at retail, I would not hesitate to do the latter because it would be a good trade. Reasons are that the 5711 is more dif...
