Would you: 5712 SS for 5320 G?
I’m thinking of moving my 5712 SS Nautilus for 5320 G. Complication of 5320 is what has me thinking about it. Wanted to get feedback from the owners of both models or 5320 and get your opinions, likes and dislikes.
Thanks |

I’m assuming the consensus will be no but I personally would.

Tough one...
I love my 5320. The complication is cool, dial is stunning IMO, and the numerals look fantastic. Probably underrated on this watch is the case detail specific to the lugs - the "steps" are pretty cool. Not a fan of the original strap - Currently mounted on Blue Suede white stitch. I don't currently own a 5712...But I do currently own the 5980. Which I love as well. I would like to add a 5712, but I am not looking to part with the 5320 to do it. |

My preferred Nautilus is the 5712, and my favorite current PC is the 5320.
However, with today's market prices, you can probably trade to get a Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, like the 5270G... which I'd much prefer over both. |

I’d try to add the 5320 as they don’t seem to be difficult to obtain.
As others have said, 5712 prices have gone nuts so you may be able to trade for much more than just the 5320. |

No. I would definitely NOT do the trade. 5712 SS is a WAY more beautiful watch compared to 5320G. But I'm also biased since I own a 5712, and don't particularly like the 5320G.

In a way I did. Never liked the 5711/12 (silly divers helmet shape and flimsy latch) and bought a 5320. On my wrist now in a blue calf strap. Love it.

I think you would regret it. The 5712 is a a versatile, beautiful, classy piece that is emprically great. It is a home run on pretty much every front.
The 5320 is incredible, but not on the same level imho. I absolutely adore the syringe hands and triple stepped lugs and lumed dial. These are all very distinctive features but are also quite polarizing - you either love it or hate it. |

Never at this point. Very much like 5711/12 but 5320 in its existing iteration and dial color is not for me. Dial layout is great though and obviously follows 3448/3450. Personally I'd wait for different dial variants and revisit / add then.
