Patek Enablers, Some Help/Info Needed !!

To my TRF fam, and once Ap enablers not so long ago... Time to bring it to Patek First and foremost, you guy's are such BAD influences

Ive tried recently the 5980, and LOVE IT! Just worried I won't wear it too much because of it's sheer prettiness and somehow I won't want to wear it casually and sporty? I know it's a sports watch, but it felt kind of delicate, not sure why!

Also, I always loved the 5712, they are getting the last one in the company for me, with the blue/slate dial on bracelet to look at. Price is much more appealing to me, love the power reserve and moon phase, dial overall.. I think 51k is A LOT for a steel chrono, thoughts? Way overpriced?

Last question, I guess i'll see for myself, the 5980 fit beautifully but I wouldn't want to go smaller... 5712 people say wears smaller? How much so?

Which would you pick and why... Reliability? I've heard conflicting reviews of both movements... Mayor's is working with me here in FLA, 2 year factory warranty and 2 year their own warranty, so nothing to worry about really. Thoughts?
