5990 - the power !!
The coolest Nautilus for me - yesterday it was MY day !!

The last 15 years I had 3700, 3712, 5711, 5712 and 5980 - all BEAUTIFUL of course, but today i am crazy about the uberpower this watch screams on the wrist !

The sky today is matching the dial color :) - but my mood can't be better !

This is the 2nd time in 2 days ive heard “the power” used to describe this reference. It is either a new term or an old term. I cant figure it out :)


OP congrats again... what would be crazy is if they discontinue this reference soon.

@ All - thank you SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!

And yes, for me it is by far the sexiest Nautilus ever - the presence on the wrist is amazing, it is the bad big boy !!

Cheers to you all and thanks again for the great comments !!

Congrats! It looks really good on you.
I've been told I have a 'very good chance' at the 5990 before year's end. We shall see.

How's the weight? I'm guessing it's the heaviest of all the SS Nautilus models on bracelet.
How does it compare to your pepsi in terms of weight/feel on the wrist?
