PP 5711 vs AP 15202 - POLL
Very curious to see how this one goes down.I am in love with both, but can only justify one of these.I would just rather the next after one of these be a different time piece to diversify the collection.I think the AP gives a better statement as it speaks louder, and is more obvious (bigger presence). The bracelet is more noticeable though it doesn't have PCL, the white gold screws on the bezel, etc.The nautilus is more discrete, more subtle, and also a stunner.Which will it be and why?Neither of these pics are mine btw.

The dates of the booklets are 2 years earlier than the calendar cards, is that normal? The clasp is 2 years younger than the watch, but taking
