Make sure it’s a keeper. Not having the second case back makes an already tough to sell watch nearly impossible for a fair price. I’d look for a complete example.

Without the case back I would unwind this trade personally. Value of 5327 going one way, the 5726 the other way too.

You're running against the sports/dress Zeitgeist so make sure the PC is a real keeper.

I would send it back. Without the second case back it will be extremely difficult to move if you decide it is not a keeper at some point down the road.

Thanks so much for all the help- so now it’s all about the caseback. No caseback - back she goes. Thanks

Good decision. No affiliation with the seller but if you are looking for a complete set European Watch Co has one listed on its site.

i m just wondering too , i know that references w/o the 2nd caseback are not really desiarable on the market and also read that PP won t supply you w a 2nd caseback later on the road so pls decide accordingly-i m personally d return it except if the price is stellar -.

In current markets I would hold onto any nautilus, unless you dont like it.
I know I am keeping mine. 5726 is one of the most underrated models but even now wait times at the geneva salon are upwards of three years and increasing.
Plus rumor has it the 5726 will be discontinued. We will see
