Give it a blue dial, and I bet it would be well received.

Have you tried in SG? HourGlass will be a good bet.

Yup tried. But not as good deal as Hong kong. Any recommended Hour Glass sale I can contact to ask again? Because i only ask a friend whom is only a sale there. I heard must check with those 'old bird' to get better discounts.

Asked a friend working in Hour Glass. But not as much discount as the 10% given by Hong Kong. I read from some expert here saying that up to 20% if you got some connect in Hong Kong. As for Spore, my friend only a sale there. So i guess not much i can get. But he said that if know those óld bird' can get good discounts. Any recommendation?

i think is because if I am gonna have an AC, i rather have this

Which is the same watch but in a more suited way for a Patek AC
imho

I prefer other models for a Nautilus

there isnt disc for steel pateks, but 5% for gold models. Popular models are reserve to their favorite customers, or if you spent over 200k on your first visit they may tell you they have 1 for you that was on reservation

I dig the annual calendar dial of the 5726, but prefer the movement of the 5712 (micro rotor) as well as the blue option.


I know for some, it's the asymmetry of the 5712 dial that turns them off, but for me it's the utility of the complications.

All things being equal, I'd take an annual calendar over a power reserve.

That's a great pic but even then it doesn't really do much for me and it's the least appealing Nautilus to me. From a function POV maybe an AC is a comp better suited to a dressier watch on a strap and is probably why the SkyD is also not doing as well as other PM Rolexes.

I find the 5726 is an excellent watch, the Nautilus I really don't like is the 5990, prefer ten times the 5726, the 5980 is very nice in RG, but can't say in SS I find it amazing, but if you prefer bulkier watches it is nice, I prefer them slimmer myself

I picked up a 5726 several months ago, on leather.

Love it. A permanent member of my watch family.
