5726A + $ for 5711?
Hi Everyone,
I got my 5726 on leather a few years back, but even though I love this piece to death, people seem to not fall deeply in love with it compared to the base model 5711. The 5726 felt less like a Nautilus to me as the days go on for some reason as well. (Maybe due to bracelet) I had the choice of getting the 5712G and 5711 back then and that time I was never a fan of the Nautilus bracelet then but now its starting to grow on me. Prices has gone up for all of them but obviously the 5711 is way more and the 5726 is the least... do you think it is wise to trade my 5726 for a 5711 at the current prices? At this point, I like both watches equally but I gotta add more money for the 5711. Not sure reversing what I chose is a wise move or not as value isn't everything. Any comments appreciated!

if you really like the 5711 more than the 5726 then go for it. value wise, the 5711 will hold longer.

Be sure you are not being influenced by the hype of what all the others think, and if you then truly prefer the 5711 then go for it, but I'd hate to pay the iron (grey) price for this.

I like the 5726 a lot, but far prefer the nautilus bracelts to straps. And it's hard to imagine paying so much for a 5711 which has the same movement as a $19k aquanaut. Also, seems that many people with larger wrists find the thinner 5711 dimensions a bit too small.
Decisions, decisions.

I would do this before paying for a 5711 plus my 5726. At least I am getting a complication back and the bracelet. As Neil said, be careful you are just not getting caught up in the hype around the 5711. It is a great watch but the hype up charge is steep Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the comments! As many of you mentioned, all this hype cause me thinking, but if I jump into it now I could potentially go in too high.

5711 is my favorite Nautilus but I wouldn’t do the trade. You still love the 5726 so keep it. The 5711 is too much on the secondary market.

This 5711/5712 addiction is so out-of-control. A few years back, you couldn't give these things away. Now, everyone's sinning against that 10th benevolent commandment: Thou shalt not covet. You have to admit that >50% of the reason anyone wants a 5711 or 5712 is because everyone's scrambling for them. And if you "land" one, you think you've found Wonka's golden ticket. Don't get me wrong, though. The Nautilus is certainly a nice looking sports watch, but the "hunt" is out of control; and for the money you'd be far better off with a different brand like AP, VC, Breuget, A.L.S., etc. with all the complications. Jees, even a Daytona for goodness sake. Are you really willing to trade a beautiful complicated Nautilus for a port-hole Rolex? Wow. Get real, my friend.

Even though I don't like Nautilii on straps, no way I would contemplate doing this. Going from a complicated Nautilus to the 5711 and having to pay through the nose for that privilege doesn't seem to make very much sense to me at all. The 5711 prices are absolutely out of this world nuts, and there are so many better options at that price point. Plus, I feel like I'd be bored moving from a 5726 to a 5711.
As Tyler said, if you want a Nautilus on bracelet, go for the 5990. If you can get it at MSRP, it's about the same as the grey 5711 price, but it's so much more watch. |

I'm not the biggest proponent for the 5726a....and I definitely like the 5711 over the 5726a....but I wouldn't make that trade to eat that premium the 5711 carries now grey market. The watch @ 30k already is not easy to swallow for me in terms of what it is from the earlier price increase.....the 50k mark is reserved for other complications/PMs from Patek. Don't buy the hype and try to look @ the watches as an actual watch collector that you are.

I would seriously think of trading for the bracelet version of the 26 in your shoes. Gets you so much of what you want at the easiest financial transition.

Oh, yeah all day.
Nautilus on leather is definitely odd man out. Like the look but I’d never actually buy one...or trade for one.

For another 20 grand more than the 5711 you could land a mint 5070g or r. That's where I'd go if I were trading that far up in value.

You should keep the 5726a since you love it to death. Don't worry about others' opinion of this watch. The important thing is you love it.

A Nautilus IMO belongs on a bracelet so any bracelet version is sufficient.

As everyone can see the majority of the TRF members like the 5711 more than the 5726. I love the 5726 cuz I have a rubber strap on it, just makes it so versatile. At this moment I love both watches equally that I decided not to let the 5726 go. Will find a way to get a 5711 down the line!
Thanks everyone!

I agree. I know it's a different watch, but after years of looking, when I finally picked up a new Daytona. It was a good watch but there was so much hype about it and anticipation of getting it. I bet half the buyers of 5711/5712 right now either want to flip the watch or are caught up in the hype train. If used prices fell to retail levels or below, there would be a massive amount of people selling.

But the 5711, a time only watch with the basic 324 caliber? Yes, the blue dial is beautiful, but I don't think it's worth the 30K MSRP, let alone the 50K+ grey price. |
