Many congrats Steve, I didn't actually know you had already bought one, glad we pushed you over the edge at last. The truth is I would keep both, even if they are both Nauts, esp if the 5164 is not for you. That was my sports pair.

This is an excellent time to say both because they are not comparable in my book. The 5711r isn't an everyday piece.

Congratulations Steve for the addition of 5711R. It is truly beautiful. On the comparison with 5712, it is very hard to compare as for me these are very different watches, the R is a special occasion watch and too flashy in my opinion to be used daily. While the 12 is very versatile watch that can be used daily. I personally prefer the 12 but the ideal solution is to own both.

I'd pick the 5711r just because I don't like the dial layout of the 5712
