To make a Martini wearing your AP?

15400 vs 5711
Hello all- I am considering getting an 15400 with a silver dial. How does the RO compare in quality to the PP 5711? How does the RO wear compared to the 5711? It looks like it wears bigger but I'm not sure. I had an AP diver which wore a lot bigger than the 5711. I got rid of my 5711 because I found it too subdued for my taste, so if the 15400 has more presence, it will be mine! Edit: I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't realize it had been until I already posted this. Please forgive me, and contribute to your liking

Best combo for me. Super comfy.

Wear and Flip question for 5711
So as some of you may have read in my recent thread titled Bit of luck I recently (by some minor miracle) happened upon a brand new, unclaimed 5711 which had arrived at the AD that same morning. I've made the down-payment, and will be paying the remainder in full Friday morning. Before I do, I'd like to get a real, honest sense of what I am getting into in terms of investment. I plan to wear the watch and enjoy it for a very long time to come, of course--but because it's such a chunk-o-cash for me, I'd like to know what you guys think is in store for such a watch in terms of gaining or losing value over time, flip-ablity, etc. I'm used to vintage watches (Rolex in particular), and I know new watches are typically like cars, in that they lose a lot of value after you wear one off the lot. BUT, I also know as a Patek Philippe, and as a SS Nautilus, this watch is anything but typical. Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated!!

In praise of the Rolex Half Link
I bought my 116000 OP around 18-months ago on the strength of the clean blue dial, simple 3-6-9 markers and brushed case/ bracelet.However, out of the box it was always just that bit too tight. An extra link was too much so it didn't get too much wrist time - even though when it did I was getting almost +/-0 spd on accuracy.The other week I saw Watchfinder advertising the Rolex Half Link on eBay as also fitting the OP 116000 so took the plunge for ��25.00.What a difference it makes to the comfort of the watch on the wrist. What puzzles me is quite why Rolex won't make it available via AD's to their customers or include it as standard on the OP without the EasyLink?10/10 to the Watchfinder team for their help in getting me sorted out!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
