Advice on AP 15202OR, 5711/1R or Platona.

Hi all, need an advice on the above topic. Hope to hear your opinions. My collection is a 5980R (leather strap) and a Rolex subc no date. Have attached pics that I tried today. Thanks.

Jumbo should be in SS. Not a fan of Daytona so the all gold Nautilus in this case for me.

I'm not a YG fan so it's pretty easy for me.
PLATONA

Since you have a 5980, I recommend the AP. Otherwise the 5711.

Obviously I am a big fan of the 5711 1R but the 5980R is kind of similar. I'd sell the chrono for the AP and have both the full RGs, both bracelets are to die for!

Since you have Patek and Rolex already, grab that stunner RG AP.

I agree the AP would give you the trifecta

Platona for me, one of the most stunning looks I've seen.

15202, for diversity, gets my vote. Given you already have a 5980 and a Submariner, having another nautilus, chronograph and crown would be redundant. Good luck!

This is good thinking AP or Rolex. As you have the 5980r already (rose gold) I LOVE the Platona which is PLATINUM which you are missing.

Btw, I own both Platona and AP 15202or and I wear the Platona much more..I'm afraid to damage the RG bracelet on the AP 😱

You have great taste in watches. If you didnt have the 5980 i would say say go with the gold chrono on a bracelet but since you do have it I would get the AP. ITS PERFECT

In pics, the 5711 and Platona look best on you. Platona I'd buy second hand though...take a look at the pricing.

Very interesting to see a few suggested to sell the 5980R and get both AP and PP in bracelets. 5980R being my first PP, that will probably stay with me for sentimental reasons.

You guys think a 5711R able to coexist with the 5980R? Also do you guys think the 5711R is slightly on the feminine side? The watch looks stunning alone, but after I tried I couldn't help but think it was slightly feminine though.

Not feminine, but not as masculine as the 5980 for sure, I'd say more silky and elegant in its understated decadence. If the 5980R is a keeper then I'd get the AP.

Why not a 26320 OR , i think the 15202 is to plain and a tad to small ?

Advice on AP 15202OR, 5711/1R or Platona.

I would go with the AP as you stated the 5980 is a keeper. Tough call but it would definitely keep you well rounded.

Did try the AP chrono, tad too large for me. My wrists are at 6.25inches. The jumbo fitted better.

If you're keeping the 5980 then get the AP.
