Not a fan of the non-thin profile ones, admittedly. And I know it's heresy, but I find the 5711/1A blue boring in comparison to the 5712/1A or 5711/1A white.

I agree with these three but the 5740/1G must be first. The perfect Nautilus.

Very boring, I know ... but I don't like marrying the Nautilus design and the idea of it being a sports watch with AC or PC complications. Chrono complication does make sense in my mind but I couldn't have pushers "mess" with the design and don't like the thick cases. Also continue to prefer SS over PM for the Nautilus.

As a result I am down to the SS 5711 and 5712 as if it was 2006 rather than 2019 - the latter would work for me as I like its playfulness and the asymmetric dial breaking with the "strict" case design.

Surprisingly though I prefer a little 3998P over my 5711/1A blue for "no-ding" days and a tool watch that can take a beating - in my case a Mark XV pilot on SS bracelet - when working on the car or bike or when boating, flying, hiking etc.

My ranking was definitely biased. I think the 5740/1G is awesome, but maybe a tad cluttered for my taste. Besides, it's way out of my price range.

To me, all natilus are lovely, each having its own merits but :
1. Must be in bracelets
2. Blue dial
3. The least waiting time

I had a 5726 and traded for a 5327 which I really like- so far :-)! The 26 I just couldn’t appreciate- for me it was too bulky and I didn’t like the leather croc or rubber strap. I do have a 5167 in rose gold I really enjoy. Probably for me:
5990 1a
5711 white
5167 R

The 5726 is 11.3mm thick, the 5990 is 12.53mm thick. If you thought the 5726 was bulky, curious why you would put the 5990 in your top 3.

Would have put the blue 5980 if this wasn't limited to current production. Also need to mention the 5711 White.

Good to see people selecting 5726 as a choice. It baffles me why this model gets so much hate. It is less thicker than 5880/5900 and aesthetically more pleasing compared to the 5990, IMHO

Thanks so much Neil! It is a real beauty. The ultimate Nautilus complication at this point in time.

You are both very kind! Thanks so much! It is a grail for me and had to sell off many watches to fund it.

The cost is high for sure, but once you walk out of your AD's store, the value more than doubles immediately. Whether or not you will sell eventually is secondary, but it is good to know your 5740 is worth so much at the markets.

Enjoy it in good health, and post more pics please!

Will do! Will wear it again soon. Thanks again.
