5711 + 5726a

I wanted to get some thoughts, especially if you own both. I recently picked up a blue dial 5711, and was thinking of trading in my 5167 toward a 5726a on a strap, but was concerned they might be too similar. Originally, I was hoping for a white dial 5726a on a strap, but I tend to lose interest in light colored dials it seems. Thoughts?

I think those watches are quite different from each other -- specially the if 5726 was strap version.

you may see by yourself

They are different enough to be side by side in one's collection but I wouldn't do it myself. Personally I'd either keep the 5167 or trade it for a 5712 instead as I prefer it to the 5726.

If the dial layout of that Nautilus is what you like, perhaps you'd like to consider a 5396. It looks much dressier than the Nautilus but could be worn everyday and it would look much more different.

I wouldn't have two Nautili, but I suppose they are just different enough. How about the 5205 for an AC?

This sound more like it.

Too similar. Plus, the PP white hue is much different than other light colored dials. You won't lose interest if you go white.
