Incoming...yes it’s a Nautilus!

After a bit of a logistical hiccup with my AD, the 5990 has finally arrived!

Love the dial and the different shades of grey it projects. In my opinion, the size and thickness of the case is perfect for me and my wrist. The bracelet is very comfortable.

Some say the pushers to adjust the travel time function can be easily accidentally pushed, I don’t believe so and I didn’t find it with the 5164 either.

The 5164a is definitely lighter and more discreet but I’m extremely happy I made the switch.

I’ll post some more pics and comments later.

It’s a small detail, but I do love how the ‘30’ on the chrono register also doubles as the 30 minute marker on the main dial. Not sure if that was a deliberate design, or just good luck.

Love how the watch fits your wrist, huge fan of the piece, but it doesn't look great on everyone, especial those with tiny wrists.

Congrats man!!! That logistical hiccup sucks, but it was all worth it in the end! I'm loving mine - it is somewhat analogous to a Nautilus Offshore with the presence, but many times classier.

Harder? It is near impossible. I gave up. Just yesterday I called Tiffanys. The Patek rep there interrupted me and told me that all sportsmodel have a “decade waiting list”. I am so happy for my fellow WUS but I am moving on from Patek.
