Congratulations! This is a very nice watch. I know, as a Nautiman.
Yes, must also thank Tyler for his enabling because I too was influenced through his postings. By the way, don't your AD size for you when you're collecting the watch? |

Going to respond to the comments soon, once I get this piece sized down this afternoon.
I spent a good chunk of last night on my living room couch with this one in my hand... quietly mumbling to myself "my precious... my precious..." |

Tom, hearty congrats to you on such an awesome PP. The gradient grey dial on the 5990 looks incredible in person, which I was lucky enough to try on this afternoon. I may have been more giddy than you when I had your 5990 on my wrist today.
Enjoy it to the fullest Tom!

A couple of post-sizing wristshots:
I'm absolutely speechless. This piece far exceeds my expectations. The 5164 was an amazing piece, but this one really takes it to the next level. The feeling on the wrist is amazing, it has very serious wrist presence, but it is also extremely comfortable at the same time. The bracelet is silky smooth and the surfaces are impeccably finished. Now I know what fellow Nautilus owners are talking about when they refer to the bracelet. The gradient grey dial is absolutely gorgeous as it has so much depth and is so dynamic in different lighting. As my first Nautilus, the only little quibble I might have is that the clasp can be bit hard to open, but it gives a very secure feeling when clicking it closed. I still feel the need to pinch myself... Having this one in my hands is truly a dream come true! |

Really nice. Curious. What is your wrist size? So I can have context of how it might look on me.

In terms of how it wears to the Jumbo, it definitely wears with more presence given the thicker case, but it wraps around my wrist better than the Jumbo. On the Jumbo, the bracelet is very stiff and flares out at the lugs on my small wrist, whereas on the 5900, it drapes down more at the lugs and there's no flaring out that I see on the Jumbo. It wears a lot more comfortable - the interior edges are nice and smooth, while I find the inside edges of the Jumbo bracelet can be sharp and irritate my skin at times. Quote:
Thanks! According to my measurements this morning, my wrist has shrunk to about 6.3" (I lost 10 lbs in the last few weeks for a variety of reasons). |
