5711 Rose Gold Review (MP Factory) vs BP v3 Aquanaut / BP v2 5711 / SW200 5711

Recommended Posts

TheSociety

Hey guys,

 

So this just came in - a 5711R from MP Factory sourced through Toro. I bought it used but basically brand new condition. It was originally bought two months ago from Toro so I think it's a relatively new product. There are some interesting notes as I have never heard of MP factory until the seller told me about it.

 

Overall Construction

-Great, not quite as good as the excellent build quality of the SW200 but I think its better than BP. Why? Because the bracelet doesn't rattle like my BP V2.

 

Case

-Decorated movement plate looks amazing!

-Surprisingly the same thickness as my SW200 - I don't have a method of measuring but its definitely thinner than my BP V2 with deco plates and is very similar of the same as my S200 (pics below)

 

Dial

-Beautiful dial

-Has the reflective quality like the GEN

-Not sure on the accuracy of the sizing, etc, but the print on the font is good

-Color is accurate

-Nice markers and hands, good print on the DW

 

Crystal

-Nice and clear, same quality as SW200 and BP V2

 

Bracelet

-My biggest issue lies in the bracelet

-The first link is too large

-First link lifts up a little from the bracelet depending on your wrist size (my wrist is small so the bracelet drops quickly after the watch head and there is a gap on the bracelet's first center link - it's not terrible and I don't think it's that noticeable but it's there and it shouldn't be there.

 

Gold Plating

-Really nice color

-Looks accurate when I compared to online photos

-Not sure how well it'll hold up but I baby my watches and will update this over time.

 

I have taken photos of it against my 3 other Pateks

I'd seen pictures of this 5711r before and wasn't blown away but I must say in your pics it does look really nice! Only really issue is the end links but other than that it's a nice looking watch. Also didn't think they'd got the colour of the dial quite right but in these pics it looks spot on!

 

Tempted!

Glad you like it buddy, also happy to see it got over the pond easy enough.

 

The watch is great, I also have small wrists so the drop of the first link like you said. Shame full RG doesn't suit me well enough. Hopefully you'll get more use out of it than me!

Gen 5711 doesn't have the extra screw on the first link.

BP got it right

Hey buddy, welcome aboard. You will find most web sites don't carry photos of every watch available. Pick a dealer on the trusted dealer list and send them an email. I originally got mine from Toro.

Those are beautiful watches!!! I just ordered a 5711 blue face stainless and am impatiently awaiting its arrival!

How has the gold plating held up so far?? I would love to get the gold but am afraid of the gold plating slowly rubbing off and blowing my cover!

the gold plating will hold up unless you knock it against the wall and stuff it will slowly look whiter and whiter

I have actually messaged a few TD's including Toro and Saed, I also asked @TheSociety via PM but have not yet had a response.
