So I am on a list for a 5726a black strap. Was supposed to be in before end of year but got pushed back. Now he got in a 5712g and offered it to me. Thinking it’s a no brainer to go with it unless I’m missing something ?

Thoughts?

Thanks James

Thanks James

Do you like the 5712G as much? If not and getting it will mean you won't be able to get the 5726A then it is a no brainer to wait.

They are a similar price so I assume you picked the 5726A over the 5712G when you placed your order?

I would, on strap I prefer the 5712.

[Dayhvac]

Actually the 5712 wasn’t even obtainable originally. So never even thought of it.

5712 on strap is underrated. 5726 grey on strap I heard may get discontinued soon though, so that may cause an uptick in price

I like the 5712G better, mainly because I prefer not to have an annual calendar complication on a sports watch. It looks substantially thinner too, if that's important to you.

[cozy2009]

the 5712 is a lot thinner too. Not sure what you prefer. I also like the 240 movement better personally. Good luck.

[GB-man]

I would go for it. Cool piece.

I agree and I really would only want a simple date display on a sports watch. Plus, the outboard correctors really lessen the WR. So what's the point.

Factors to consider:

-One is WG and the other is SS.
-5726A might get discontinued soon.

You should get the 5712G while you can because you don't know if a 5726A will ever be offered to you before the rumored discontinuation.

I would wait for the 5726a, if your AD says that you are on the list, and he they pushed you back a bit, just wait and trust the AD.
At the end, do not go for the one you can live with, go for the one you can't live without !

If you don’t have any nautilus. I’d pick it up. If u have other ones if pass

[ts3]

Not a big fan of Nautilus on strap but even less so of the annual calendars - I'd take the 5712G...

[bruinmd]

I would grab the 5712g, and this is coming from someone who owns the 5726A on strap.

While I really like the latter watch, the poor day/month visibility gets a bit old. I've also come to the conclusion that an AC function on a sports watch doesn't really fit. Others may disagree and that's fine.
The finishing on the 5726A is fantastic, but if you're going to get a nautilus on strap, get a PM piece. The 5712g is incredible.

5712g is my choice. But if it was the new steel 5726 blue on bracelet that would have been my choice

[Dayhvac]

Thanks for the insight. This will be my first Patek. I told him I’d take it. Hoping to pick up maybe this weekend.

Thanks for the help

I would most definitely go for the 5712G for two reasons, the dial layout and also the difference in thickness of the case
