5712r
AD texted me has one arriving this year and its mine if I want it. Not my top choice, but getting something in steel is highly unlikely at the moment. Was originally planning on purchasing a mint 5070G, but might settle for the 5712 at retail and pocket th extra $$. Any owners have pics and any comments on the 5712? Saw one in person 10 days ago and thought it was much nicer in person.
Pics welcome! |

It’s my dad’s watch. I prefer nautilus on bracelet(steel or gold) as I think of it more of a sport piece than dress.

It's a great watch and very comfortable. No urge to wear anything else including steel one since I got it. Try it and sure you'll love it.

“Not my top choice” tells me you should pass and hold out for the version You want. I personally would not want a Nautilus on strap as I find it too dressy.

about 4 years ago when i bought my 5712r, i had the choice between the 3 of them: A, R or G. They were pretty much freely available.
So I put them all side by side and on the wrist. Picking the 5712r could not have been easier: it was the warmest and felt the most special. Despite the asymmetrical price rise of these models, i do not regret my choice a single minute. The only + of the 5712a was that it was so comfortable to wear. The most comfortable watch i ever tried on. The thing is, the 5712a is a 'false' daily: it's both too expensive and fragile (polished surfaces so exposed). So i'd rather have my 5712r and wear it on more special occasions and wear a ceramic daytona as a daily. Probably not the best logic, but one that works for me. |

 This is exactly my thoughts as well. I’m actually considering selling mine during this bubble. I’ve seen them advertised for $80,000!

I really like this piece and was heavily considering it just before the 5711r was released.

You aren’t the only one to feel this way! Perfectly describes how a feel about my 5711 now. Especially after it picked up a slight ding on the bezel from what I have to guess was a mild breeze. I still want a 5712a though. And the R is beautiful too. What is wrong with me? |

Congrats. Both great pieces. Although on strap I still think of 5712R as a sporty piece in fact it gets much more wrist time than the steel 5726. So comfortable with the composite strap and a bit more low profile on the wrist apart from the shiny bezel.
