No doubt about it - I would get the AP.

I think the 5711 is boring - whereas you would never get tired of looking at the skeleton!

15305. I could never get tired of staring at that dial.
Love the 5711, but if only one of the two, I'm taking the AP in this case.

Very tough choice, there are other APs I prefer so I would take the Patek as its probably my fav model.

I really wanted to like the 5711, but end of the day it was just to plain for me. I'd go AP.

A tougher decision would be a 5726 vs 15305

Have to agree, its 1 of a few requirements for a watch.


AP jumbo 15202, would be my choice.

Either would be a good choice but I'd vote for the AP because of the dial

I'd take the Skeleton, but both are very nice. Alot of votes for the PP, and I can see why.

This is VERY TOUGH decision. Both are GREAT.

After long & hard thinking with a lot of tears, I'd choose 5711/1A.

I'd take the AP...
Handled the 5711 today and compared it to my 15400, the RO felt like a more solid, better made watch. The 5711 also wears small.

I think it is all a personal preference, and I'd go for the 5711.
