5164A vs 5726A vs ROO rose gold 44 vs Messi rose gold

[Eugene-Taiwan]

HI guys,

I have been thinking about this problem of late with the watches I have listed above, I find the decision is quite hard to make so I was hoping for some suggestions.

[lipjin]

They all blend if that's the question :)

Its really hard for me to just pick one :(

PP 5726 for me! Good luck deciding, as they are all good choices.

[Flex368]

5726 for me, too.

[lipjin]

Why Messi RG? I would go for the ROC 26320or (not on the list). I'm going to say Messi out of the 4.



5726 is nice, but it's not RG!

[Eugene-Taiwan]

thanks for the feedback so far!
I really nice the AP Rose Gold and Black ceramic look, but the PP is also very elegant.

more input is always needed.

[diver2012]

I love the Messi.

[texex91]

RG 44mm--period.

Patek is great, but a smaller watch. If anything, I would get (and did) the 5980 over 5726.

5726 for me. If you want precious metal then AP RG ROO. I'm not a big fan of the Messi.

[s14roller]

How do you normally dress?

44MM RG is a no brainer for me out of the above. If Patek, I came really close to pulling the trigger on a white dial 5726 but after seeing someone else wear one, I realized it was too washed out for me. Not enough pop.

5164 is nice if you are looking for a casual nice piece that can be worn anywhere.

Good choice.

[hengkyganda]

5726 for sure
the best looking Nautilus IMO

[JorgeCCW]

5726A I think. I would consider other choices though

[kilyung]

Of your choices, I'd narrow it down to 44 RG ROO or 5164. You seem to like watches that pop, like the 507, or simple elegant designs. If I had the 507, I'd probably go 5164a.

[diver2012]

Why no love for the Messi people?

For me is personal, I can't stand the guy. Same for the Lebron James watch; I just can't
In general not into watches named after an ambassador of the brand.

[watchdog507]

I would save my money on the Mesi. If it's AP the 44mm RG is great but so is the alternative an RG ROC. If it's Patek go for the 5726A.

[AK797]

Messi or RG ROC but I prefer the gold bezel.

[kb24]

out of the 4 that you mentioned, no doubt that the AP RG MESSI ROC is the hands down winner.. the best RG watch if you ask me..

if you're looking steel then the 5726 is good.. but for the price, you're better off with the MESSI RG + its limited edition...

I actually kept the 507 just because its not seen as much in the wild, I actually feel watches that are around 40-42mm feel the most comfortable. 5980R was on my list as well until I saw how small it felt compared to a steel bracelet.

I like the Messi because its not too flashy being a RG

I dress pretty casual that's why all I buy are sport watches

If you were considering the 5980R that's the one I would pick for sure out of all of the ones on your list! I can't imagine the 5980R to wear smaller than the 5164A or 5726A

I think it was just the brown leather strap.

I go and take another look in person again

Well you would be right. There is no stark difference but the 5980 clearly dominates in presence and case thickness.

[braningan]

I would take 44m RG

[bmwboris]

If I could, I would get the Messi as my first choice- followed by the ROC RG.

I'm not a fan of the ROO line- great to look at but just not for me

As for the PP, my IWC Big Pilot looks "normal" on my wrist, so you can imagine how small the PP looks.

All great choices for you though

[Eugene-Taiwan]

went down to see more actual pieces today, I'm going to going on a business trip and think this over! thanks for the input guys.
