If you a Nautilus fan, then it never enough........

Just like Daytona fan and Submariner fan, those people own a few Daytona or a few Submariner......

Rolex Daytona and Daydate fits in well in Benz steering
Nautilus kind of out of tune inside Merc Benz.
What do you think?

I'd say 2 for me.
5712 and 5726 (or 5980/90).

If you collect Patek only, a fair few more.

If you are a Nautilus only person, then one of each variation mixing up between steel and PM.

A watch is not only an instrument, it should be durable and companion during your lifetime.
Nautilus is beautiful but the bracelets prone to scratches.

I wouldn't buy one Nautilus at current price.
If Nautilus by itself and didn't say "Patek Philippe" on it, the 5711 wouldn't it be in the $2-5K range?

Scratches on the bracelet don't matter very much IMO. Scratches on the bezel are a different story... In my view the Nautilus looks good either mint or beat up - the period in between is a problem.

Somewhere in the 15-20k range is more realistic I think.

the brand Patek has potential value retention or appreciation -
The Nautilus watch by itself without the print “Patek Philippe” , may worth less than Nomos or Japanese Grand Seiko;
I mean Nomos / Grand Seiko may tell as accurate time as Nautilus; well engineered and well built with fine quality movement
but Grand Seiko or Nomos they are unsellable watch if you one day need the money. And if you pass the watch to your children, they will wonder why did you buy these unsellable items for thousands of dollars and then your children help you throw the watches into a bin.

Maybe if they all didn't break and were reliable id feel differently? But the design never spoke to me like the Royal Oak, and I'm sure a ton of you feel the same way in reverse.

Thankfully we have preference

And PS to the newbies, my ownership was pre hype and before you guys saying "because they haven't gotten theirs yet" got theirs lol

If you didn't own it before the hype and investment is it because you truly loved it? :p

And PPS I respect you guys that truly love it love it, keep enjoying them!

Grand Seiko not unsellable. I've sold many new and preowned :)

Doubt it.....

Wear a Patek Philippe and sitting in the back of the diplomatic Brabus Benz is never out of place......

i get your point but i really like the AR. my favorite nautilus in fact. it looks spectacular in real life, once you overcome historical two-tone issues.

Two tone Naut is amazing with the blue dial. Probably only two tone I'd own and wear.

I'd dash the 5711/1A. Keep the 1R

Sell the R. Unless you plan on letting the wife wear it...
Is the 5170P more scratched up from the wife OR is the R from rock climbing?

I'd keep what you got and lose what you get.

Why? The pushers harm, or should I say ruin, the beauty of the symmetrical Nautilus case, I prefer thin cases, and I find the AR + bright blue dial combo a little too spectacular.

Would rather have the 5968 you had earlier.

wife still top. unmatched in scratching. she would do miracles on you RM, no matter the outer-space scratch proof materials. one day is enough.

If unsure, sell the 1A and you can always trade the 1R for another 1A down the line if it doesn't feel right.
