Shinola Black Blizzard Titanium Chronograph Watch

I don't think it makes much sense having both these pieces in a small collection of 4 watches, as they serve the same purpose.Would you flip, and add cash, for an AP Jumbo and Patek aqua on rubber?Or would you keep the 5711, and eventually add something else that catches your eye?

Daniel Day Lewis- 5167
Looked to me he was wearing a 5167 on The Golden Globes. Anyone catch that?
