Although I did not start the earlier thread--- There were a lot of requests for a new poll... which one do you prefer--- 5980 vs 5990? If you already own or are currently considering.. or if you had to pick which one? Has your mind changed over time?

5990 on the left and 5980 on the right
Me: Like both but own and still would select the 5990.

sean8696 · 5 December 2016, 04:17 AM

Go with the 5980

Another poll, same answer, 5990 for me.

However in this case it's a no lose situation.

5990 blue in 2017 would be a reason I'd buy it back.

Headshrinker · 5 December 2016, 04:27 AM

5980 in RG with RG band. Otherwise, I kind of like the 5990.

JapRs · 5 December 2016, 06:48 AM

I have tried on both and the 5990 is to thick and messy dial...

onkyo · 5 December 2016, 07:41 AM

5990 has really grown on me since introduced. I do own a 5980 an love it. I voted 5990

Hollister · 5 December 2016, 07:53 AM

I really dislike both.

locutus49 · 5 December 2016, 07:55 AM

90 has better symmetry.

Lordofrolex · 5 December 2016, 08:13 AM

Really hard choice. Probably go with the 90 though.

WAK4 · 5 December 2016, 09:25 AM

Not really a fan of either, but between the two I'd choose the 5990 for the dual time complication.

alexlt730512 · 5 December 2016, 09:34 AM

either one would be great, but i don't think you can get 5980 from the dealers anymore as new one.

sechsgang · 5 December 2016, 10:36 AM

I chose the 5990 and think its possibly the most epic sports watch in production price/value not in question. However, I tried on a friends 5980R and I'm afraid Im going to need something like that as well...this is an issue.

AK797 · 5 December 2016, 10:56 AM

5980r is my first choice, then the SS.

scrappy · 5 December 2016, 12:50 PM

Own both. My vote goes for the 5990.

mdtddd2007 · 5 December 2016, 01:05 PM

5990

kilyung · 5 December 2016, 01:29 PM

I'd pick the 5990 but only in 1r.

GB-man · 5 December 2016, 01:31 PM

5980/1A black dial

BNA/LION · 5 December 2016, 02:07 PM

The 5990

yoast · 5 December 2016, 02:30 PM

5990 for me for the dual time zone, more presence and symmetry of the dial.

Oryx · 5 December 2016, 02:32 PM

5980 any day. The best nautilus ever for me.

Foxfeather · 5 December 2016, 05:50 PM

Not really a big fan of either - but hard pressed I would choose 5990

Odell · 5 December 2016, 07:43 PM

Both

mps354 · 5 December 2016, 08:27 PM

I'd be happy to have either. For me, the blue dial 5980 edges out the 5990

gummy · 5 December 2016, 11:29 PM

5980 (blue) 1st
5990 2nd

RussW · 6 December 2016, 01:50 AM

5990

JorgeCCW · 6 December 2016, 02:53 AM

Neither, instead I would recommend the 5980R (leather strap)

ash20 · 6 December 2016, 02:59 AM

5980--love the blue dial Nautlius and much prefer the date in a window.

subtona · 6 December 2016, 03:29 AM

I picked 5980.

5976 If it gets made in steel.

Actually would really prefer if the chrono watches didn't have a date complication.

Hairdude1 · 6 December 2016, 12:34 PM

Love the 5980!

incontrol · 6 December 2016, 01:20 PM

I think I would pick the 5990 if it had a beautiful blue dial over all of them.
