Easter Magic: Incoming!

After uttering the words “nautilus aren’t for me” many times, I suddenly developed an insatiable itch for wanting to own THE nautilus. Once a watch nut gets an idea in their head, as many of you know, there is only one way to scratch that itch: INCOMING

While for years I preferred the 15202 over the 5711 as I found the 15202 to be the “original” Genta and loved the lack of a seconds hand, legendary caliber and the bracelet on it, my initial impressions of the 5711 1/A are very good. The watch is incredibly comfortable and the dial is really magical how it changes in the light: probably the only correct answer is to own both!

Look at those ears!

Until @KarlS ships me his 5711P, we will make due with these two blue dials.

Thanks to various TRF members and friends with whom I’ve chatted offline (cc: @goog53, @JorgeCCW, @racerdj and @subtona)! Have a great weekend and Easter holiday.

Great addition to an amazing collection. I was happy to enable along the way LOL! I think the versatility that this piece offers will make it a mainstay in your collection. Have a great Easter Weekend!
