Agreed: 5990 is not true to the nautilus anymore imo; that famous and unique case hinge has been replaced by pushers

That's purely subjective - it's now my favourite Nautilus based on aesthetics. In terms of usefulness, a regular date window is easier to read than a dial version. I'll never use a time zone or chronograph function of any wrist watch.

Lovely trio of PP's John, they must put a smile on your face every morning?

How do the bracelets wear, comfy? Hope all is well?

I really love the complications it has!👍🏻

Here's a better shot of the trio...

That is simply a stunning pic - well done on the PP family!!

Wow what a collection! 11erv and scrappy!

Love the Naultius in all its incarnations, yes even the 5990! I have seen one in real life and find the dial layout quite interesting despite deviating from the original Genta design. Evolution is a good thing!

Enjoy in good health!

Happy to see another happy 5990 owner on here :D

Thanks to all for the compliments. I actually went to the dealer to buy a 5164 but walked out with the 5990 instead. The Nautilus line clearly has some kind of magnetic pull with me. Looking forward to the 40th anniversary unveil.
