Unfortunately the ss bracelet with blue dial is approx $40k more than the leather strap right now aftermarket. $60k vs. $100k

Wow I misread op’s post . The strap is looking better, ha! But just means the 5711 is the choice for sure - at least for me.

No you were right. OP wanted opinions on the 5726 blue vs. the 5711

The purity and clean face wins, imho. 5711 it is!

I prefer the 5726 for the complications.

I feel like the 5726 is a near to perfect watch.

Very balanced dial. Cool useful stuff. Not as dainty as the three handers. Could easily be a one and only.

5726 offers better functionality with balanced dial. A true utility watch for daily use and for all occasions. 5712 is great but does not check all the boxes for me. That said, I agree with previous posters that you cannot go wrong with either.

I started out hunting for the 5711a because that was the first to be on my wrist..... After owning 3 Nautilus including the 5726a I can honestly say it's out of my mind. Don't get me wrong I would still love to own it one day... But it's not a priority anymore... Especially since I feel the 5726a is such a balanced watch. People complaining about the thickness... I don't get it... Sure it's thicker than my other 2 Nautilus with the micro rotor movement.... But it's still sleeker and thinner than most vintage Rolex... So it's not intrusive at all for a sports watch. The blue dial really takes the 5726a to a special place imo. I'd pick this over the 5711 myself.

5711 iconic, classic, beautiful. 5726 the better looking and more interesting piece IMO. Both fabulous.

OP, perhaps consider switching your 5711A to a 5711R?

5711R + 5726 blue = Nautilus win

Looking at secondary prices for a 5726, why not go the route of a 5980 and save money?
