If you post a pic Neil, his decision will be made

5164A plus 5712 but I'd go with steel. Since I think the Nautilus looks best on bracelet

I would do the 5164 and the 5726A.

I travel quite a bit and think the complication on 5164 is handy.

I personally like the symmetry of the dial for the 5726 - Get on the strap and you have a nice dress watch, it is my only watch on a strap.

Eventually, I would pick up a 5711 or 5990 :)

Well I have a pic up on the other 5711/1r thread for him to check out, altho that Tiffany dial is extra nice.

Both base models.

But after having them both, I would recommend choosing only the 5711 blue.

Thank you all for your comments. So part 1 is complete. AD offered me a 5712g last Saturday and I secured it yesterday after trading my 5165.

Slight concerns I had re legibility were completely eliminated after the protective film was removed. The fit and finish are perfect and the colours truly wonderful on the dial. Here'a a pic. Now I just need to decide 5164 or 5167R??

Whilst I generally prefer the 5726/1A black dial in isolation, in this combination (or with the 5164R in lieu of the 5164A), the white dial variant makes better sense. Though I have not seen either the of 5726/1A variants in real life, I have seen the white dial 5711/1A and it is a lovely look (even if in that particular piece I lean towards the blue dial). From the picture above, the white dial 5726/1A looks fantastic!

5726 on bracelet and the new 42mm Jumbo Aqua (5168G).

Congratulations on the 5712G. I would select the 5164A/R from the selection you have put forward, opting for the R over the A if practical and possible.

Enjoy it and congrats!

AK797 · 20 August 2017, 08:24 AM

Many congrats and that's a fantastic pic! I would be inclined to go for the 5164r now, but then I do actually prefer the 5164a so that one.

jem7v · 21 August 2017, 08:32 AM

Moonphase nautilus on leather strap and twin time aquanaut. Or, twin time nautilus and regular aquanaut. But I think the twin time aquanaut looks way better.

If I can go RG, I'd do 5711 RG, and twin time aquanaut steel.

thomaspp · 21 August 2017, 08:58 AM

5711 +5641 seems like a pretty killer duo

Giggsy11 · 21 August 2017, 04:05 PM

5164a & 5712r
Versatile pairing imo
