Of all the Nautilus I've tried, the 5712R fits my small wrist like a glove and the dial is awesome in the flesh. However, while I can stretch my watch funds for a minty 5712R without impacting other financial priorities, for a commoner, I am somewhat apprehensive about wearing such an expensive functional art (considering I wore the same Tag Heuer for 20 years before getting the bug 4 years ago). It would be a dream though if/when someday I can work up the courage to pull the trigger.
This thread has been an awesome read and I agree with your philosophy completely. Cheers!

Thanks , yes if you truly enjoy wearing your watches and err less in the hoarding side, then this philosophy is for you. For some take less cash to realize it for others (me) learn the hard way. Although I have to admit that owing all those watches, it gives you a better understanding and makes your opinion or mindset have a weight/validity that it's hard to get without it.
Cheers !
