5980/1R vs 5990, which one would you choose?

[Humble michael]

Wahhh , my 5711 is a fat boi - just looked up RM 67-02 , it’s 7.3 thick. Guess I will limp along with my 11 and the 11r . Interesting:-))

Glad u found it. Yeah it’s a cool watch. They have a bunch of thin watches coming out

I own them both.

I'm wearing the 90 now and wear it a lot
I haven't worn the 80 in like a year

I have both, but if were to keep one it would be my 5990 as it is more versatile. While I like my rose gold 5980, it is anything but subtle. With that said people value different things and then prioritize accordingly, so there is no wrong answer in my book. Ultimately, you gotta do you!

between those 2 , I'll go 5990.
personally I wouldn't buy any nautilus that is not a 5711 or 5712, but since those are impossible to get , I get it

5990

Probably cause it’s gold and it’s heavy

The 90 is very comfortable and still flies a bit under the radar plus I really like the gmt for travel. While steel it still has enough heft to make me feel like I'm wearing something special and a lot of ss watches fail on that front.

I find the 80 unbalanced on my wrist and not as comfortable and it's very flashy...I mean when the time is right it's a great piece...but the 90 is on my wrist regularly. I can't really wear the 80 to work or to certain places.

So the 80 is a terrific piece but I'd certainly choose the 90 if only one.

5990!

Yep,I have to say 5990. The 5980 is a great piece but seems like my 11R just a little too flashy for every day. I find myself wearing the 5990 much more than the gold 11. I have to say though, my 5711 white SS gets the most wristtime of all my pieces. Just my experience, don’t think that would be the same for all of us.

I really enjoy both by 5711 and 5712.

I have to see and try on the 59801R

Off to the diamond district

Between my 5711 and 5712, I have to go with the 12. It’s always been my grail.

I really loved my 59801AR for the few days that I had it. The dial is just amazing. Maybe I wasn’t 100% sold on the TT, but the dial made up for that.

Let’s see how I feel about the 59801R when I try it on 47 street.

Never had a full rose gold watch, always white gold, so I’m used to the weight on the wrist.

I still have the 59801AR coming soon together with the 57261A-014, so I’m not sure if I’ll ask my AD to get one for me, but you never know...

At some point the question will become how many nautilus do I need and am I that much happier with 1 extra complication :)

@turborolex , fit and feal are great i think they removed about 1cm of links and now it fits slightly loose when my wrist is “deflated” and fits perfectly while beeing active and out and about during the day while my wrist gets a bit thicker... i was wearing my yg daytona john mayer special on my right wrist while walking away and driving away from my ad and i could have sworn it felt heavyer ... maybe its due to me not beeing used wearing a watch on my wright wrist , i have some pics but i either need to install tapatalk or make me a new free image hosting accound �� if you are really intrested i will otherwise i wont bother
