Discarding the 5711. Which steel Nautilus do you like best?

5712

5726

5990

GeraldGentaFan · 22 February 2021, 05:34 AM

I own all three, and my vote goes to 5712.

mnl · 22 February 2021, 05:37 AM

5990 for sure, even over the 5711

vandyologist · 22 February 2021, 06:04 AM

I’d vote 5712 as well. The case dimensions and thinness of the 5711 and 5712 are perfect for me.

azizu · 22 February 2021, 06:58 AM

for sure the 5712, it is the closest to the 5711

sensui · 22 February 2021, 07:23 AM

I actually think the 5712a is the best Nautilus overall...with the 5740g as a close second. I'd take a 5726a over a 5711a also watch for watch...but can't deny the heritage and FOMO factor 5711a carries.

5726 for me !!

Ichiran · 22 February 2021, 09:48 AM

I will wait for the new 6711, or keep the 5711 if the 6711 is not to my taste.

m3tek44 · 22 February 2021, 10:37 AM

5712 for me.

Chute · 22 February 2021, 03:17 PM

As much as I like the symmetry of the 5726, it’s the 5712 for me.

WWC · 22 February 2021, 08:07 PM

It’s gotta be between the 5726 and the 5712.

I had a choice between many of the Nautilus models but I went to the 5712 as my only one. Wouldn’t think twice if I were to choose once again

7sins · 22 February 2021, 08:42 PM

5740.

MCMartiny · 22 February 2021, 10:08 PM

The 5712/1A is now the closest descendant of the original 3700 with respect to dial colour, proportions and material. The 5740 is similar proportions, but not in steel. The blue 5726/1A has similar dial colour but has much different more hefty proportions.

I had the choice of getting a grey dial 5726/1A or a 5712/1A at retail (this was some years ago!). Deliberated quite a lot over what to choose and went with the 5712/1A due to proportions, the legendary micro rotor 240 movement and the amazing blue-grey dial colour. Today I would chose the 5712 in a heart beat over any other Nautilus in the colection with the 5740/1G being a close second (but part of me still feel a Nautilus should be in steel, at least if you just have one in your collection).

I don't like the lack of indices at the bottom of the dial. The dial is too full at the bottom

I'd probably agree with this, altho the PC is a more useful comp to me, the layout of the 12's dial makes it equally as interesting and actually slightly better
balanced for the 40mm size and ofc it comes at a much nicer price point.

chmhill · 23 February 2021, 12:25 AM

When I had both 5711 and 5712, 5712 had much more time on my wrist because the dial is more interesting. So I would vote for 5712 for its dial and ultra-thinness.

Demonoid · 23 February 2021, 12:47 AM

Since I have the 5711, I’d have to go with the 5990. It’s a completely different Nautilus with a heft that’s just right, in my opinion. However, if I didn’t have the 5711, maybe I’d go with the 5712.

I was giving this quite some thought and have finally concluded meh give me a 15202st and I'm happy. The nautilus really doesn't do it for me anymore.

lukey77 · 23 February 2021, 01:37 AM

I had a 5712. Have to be honest I just didn’t love it at all. The face was nowhere near as blue as it looks in photos, and for my taste it was just too thin.

Also I was hugely disappointed with the clasp quality.

Don’t get me wrong it’s a great watch. Just didn’t do it for me.

I have a 5726 on leather and actually prefer it as I can rotate with my AP 15202 Jumbo for a different look.

Can I have your discarded 5711.

5712!

pav333hp · 23 February 2021, 06:16 AM

5712 for the overall watch profile (thin, close resemblance to the original) and incredibly captivating asymmetric dial. It make you look at it more and more. While I do like the 5726, I think the grey dial with that silver ring looked better than the current blue dial.

Over time, add the 5990 because it's just an awesome watch - beautiful, symmetric dial, and useful complications. This can easily be the ONE watch in your collection :)

SpaceDweller77 · 23 February 2021, 06:24 AM

5712 by a country mile. I love then asymmetrical dial and the functions are exactly what I like on a watch. I have a 5711, but would purchase a 5712 at retail in a heartbeat. The 5990 and 5726 are very nice, but don’t speak to me the way then 5712 does.
