Help with collection - John Mayer vs. Nautilus vs. Aquanat

[DK7]

i would go 5167a or better 5712a

[ts3]

John Mayer does not work for me. Not into green dials.

Aquanaut I passed on when 5167A was readily available for 15k. Not worth it for me back then and looks larger than I like on my 6.6 inch wrist.

Nautilus on a strap is a hard no.


I'd go 5711/1A or 5712/1A. Still enjoying the 5711 blue I got many years ago.

Bluesy and full gold blue dial sub are def overkill. I initially wanted to move the TT on, but it has sentimental value to me. I bought the full gold bc it was offered to me by my AD and I thought why not. Instant regret because its so similar, but hey, you live once and blue is my favorite color.

I like the idea of selling the 1226618lb. I'll probably move that to get my next watch. I really like the green dial on the daytona, it looks awesome with a black shirt/sweater.

I do think the JM is expensive. I could get the Paul Newman for 40-45k and that's very nice too. Just something special about the green dial to me and the fact that its discontinued makes it feel more special.

I am worried about this. Hobby is about to get a lot more expensive.

Deffo the idea I would go with! Is the Aquanaut at retail tho? In the UK it's 20k over retail and while the watch is stunning, it's a hell of a lot of money with the way the economy is.

JM I've seen at 50K which again is expensive but better then the 75ks they seem to advertising for not so long ago.

Nautilus belongs on bracelet for me.
Aquanaut is really pricey on the second hand market, nice and for me is best in rose gold, ideally 5164r

As for the YG Daytona, I dont think I could bring myself to pay the second hand prices. It's nice but not that nice. It's probably my favourite of all three however. But the blue dial is equally impressive. Far more versatile, far cheaper.

Alright guys. Y’all all helped and I’m reporting back. I traded the 126618lb plus cash for the Patek. But went with the 5711r. Thanks for everyone’s input. Nautilus def belongs on a bracelet.
