Does Patek come next?
I have my dream team with the 116610LV and the 116718LN as well as a 1954 Gold Omega. I think a 5711 would be a great addition. Is it hearty enough for daily, or near daily, wear? Should I just leave my collection where it is? It is calling to me

The 5711 is my grail watch, so i would say go for it. However, i would sell the two Rolexes and get a Calatrava, which makes an excellent partner for the Nautilus

Save for the 5711 it will make a perfect addition to your collection. Maybe sell the LVc later on if it helps you get there quicker. |

Your collection is spectacular. I can only hope to get within an area code of it!!!
I still am grateful that you turned me on to the 116718! I'll try to learn from " the greater artisan" Partial quote from TS Eliot to Ezra Pound. |

I woke up in the morning the other day looked at my wrist and realized this watch had become a LUMINOX - I called out sick and went back to sleep.

Save up and go for it! If everyone could buy every single watch they wanted immediately this would be a lot less fun.

Add the Patek if you can.
Would go great with what you currently have (or on it's own for that matter). For me, nothing is better than Rolex for daily though. The Patek can handle it, but there is a much more delicate feel on the wrist (that's not a bad thing). |

I sold three last year and have never looked back, I wear my 5711 more than all of my other watches combined and I am thinking about selling more pieces that I am not wearing. Here is the link to my original review https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=305772

Could see flipping the SubC as part of the plan, but never the YG GMT. |

Ideally, save up and keep them all is smart.

i find the calaltrava and complication pateks to be very fragile but gorgeous and elegant, whereas the Nautlius, in pictures, looks great, but on my wrist, felt unbalanced with an uncomfortable bracelet. bottom line is try everything on in person several times.

Buy what you like. Remember a PP is a more fussy watch than what your use to so it will cost more in maintance.
