The 5726 is a stunner for sure, I called up my AD when it was released and he is confident he can get me one in 1-2 years, maybe sooner I'm in no rush

5726 is the winner of 2019 for me, I know it’s just a dial change but it’s THE dial change

I don't know it's kind of regressive for me to see this 70's grey/blue dial back. Looks a bit weird on the 5726 to me after all these years, I think the new blue should have been used even if they are going for SS/PM distinction.

Really liking the 5726 but the 5168 I'm liking less and less the more I see it.

Same here. Thinking about canceling my order for the 5168 after seeing the video and these pictures. My blue 5168 is much nicer. 5726 is definitely a winner.

that third picture is so perfect and by far the best I saw until now.

I put it on instagram (collectible_watches)

if you are on IG let me know and I'll change the picture credits, or delete the picture if you want to

Was not me, taken by one of my AD's and texted to me. I am not a huge fan of the matte green from photos.

Will the 5726 be as difficult to obtain as a 5711 or 5712?

I’m not sure I’m a fan of the 5168. The matte dial and the extra size seem to make it unappealing to me.

Blue hands down and I love green. Just not that unflattering dull look. It would have been so nice with a deep emerald green.

Jello,
What do you think about the green Monster?
First i thought that it is ugly but when I look more often on this piece I think I like this piece , because it’s not a shiny dial like all the other dials and it’s not blue!!

The 5726 blue is nice but I think it would've been killer in RG with black dial like the 5980/1R

I think the matte green is perfect for the 5168...it is a casual/sports watch to be worn swimming...boating....hiking...jogging...etc. Will definitely get it and have pics posted once it arrives. Can’t wait!
