It looks a little big on your wife. Oops, she may have to give it to you.
Just kidding, hope she enjoys it. A 5711 on steroids! Very nice watch!

Lol, its her choice... not mine. I told her it looks like a AP ROO.

In person it looks better. But still ostentatious...lol. I never realize how u could do that with a nautilus. Now i do.

I lost so much money on that diamonds and bags :(. Im just happy shes into watches now froma value retention perspective.


I think it looks like this on her...

Congrats to your wife.
I can't wait to use this as my new travel piece. ETA: Unknown. So hard to get considering this watch was at 10% discount just 2 years ago. I'm feeling sick to my stomach now for not buying it.

Congrats. I’ve hardly worn anything else since getting the 5990, it’s utterly brilliant!

I was originally in the camp that the 5990 was too big and bulky. After seeing it daily now... its a good size sports watch. Probably the right size. Right weight.

Im still waiting on my 5980R. The 5990 slighly bigger i think

I don't agree, think it makes her look slim and if you tell her that it makes you look sexy and then happy days...

Cheers Sam - the fact that you’re still loving the 407 says a lot, the honeymoon period should be well and truly over by now.
