Gorgeous, so which ones do you still have Ryan?

And is it possible I know where that third one went to?

Dan- Just have the 5960P at the moment. With that being said, 5070P is probably my favorite. Something about that blue... The watch was traded to a fellow collector...

Thank you, Sir. Thinking there might be a 5980R or 5712R in my near future.

The 5712R is very nice, however the 5980R would get my vote if it were my choice. The fact that it has the bullseye and the fact that it is a chronograph just seems so right somehow.

Ryan, that chronograph/perpetual calendar/moonphase is simply stunning!

Of course, the other ones are wonderful but there's something in that specific model of yours that really amazes me!

Well, it's nearly a month now and today was the first time I saw the "1" in the date window - had to crank it in there myself, LOL... Anyhow, had to commemorate the event by busting out the old Kodak...

I absolutely love this watch and it has completely derailed and redirected my budding WIS journey...

Thanks Daniel/Ken/Dan... Appreciated!

My AD gave me an extra strap that remains sealed and I noticed 2 steel pins installed on each end to insert into the case sides and anchor the strap. This is very cool and explains why there is no unwanted flex or movement of the strap on the watch. The rubber/composite material is comfy all day in spite of being non-adjustable - strange since I'll adjust a glide-lock once or maybe twice on any given day...

I tried on the 5167 yesterday. Very comfortable watch - weighs nothing but looks great. If I didn't have a Nautilus, this would be a serious consideration.

Paul, it sounds like you really don't need anymore enabling.


Ok, I hate to pass up the opportunity.


You know you want it, just do it.

A wee bit of Aqualume - lovely, but like others, fades rather soon to stay readable for many hours...
