Just Maybe.
Was offered. PP 7128 I gave it back. Due to one question. Knowing I have a 5711 I ask my SA . " This or 5711 ?" ...
I agree with your decision. While there are differences (eg white gold)…
the 5711 checks the boxes. I’m guessing you weren’t interested in the green dial variant, or the platinum?
This is the 40 mm ref. 7128.
The green dial and platinum are 45 mm ref. 5822 and I imagine they wear quite differently. I’ll be interested to see one in real life to understand how it really feels. Best, Emmanuel
True, they definitely do. I had a chance to try them and appreciated the Cubitus in the metal (as opposed to pictures)…
and even the size surprisingly worked well. However the 40mm felt a bit on the smaller side for me, even though my 5711 feels just right. I know, it doesn’t make full sense since the above 7128 and 5711 are both 40mm. Perhaps it’s an effect of the square ...
Thank you for your feedback, it helps understanding better
until I see one in the metal someday.
I would choose the 7128
over the 5711 every day. I know I am in a minority but the 7128 apart from having a superior movement also wears better on the wrist. The only thing against the 7128 is its heft since it is an all gold watch.
I would (and will) keep the 5711...
The Cubitus design remains a swing and miss for me and I am not interested no matter the size. Also prefer steel over white gold for a watch I am wearing every day.
Nautilus …
lineage. Have you decided it is definite no go ? How did the salesperson answer your question ?
No brainer (for me) and right decision imho 👍🏻
I'm not the biggest fan of the Nautilus. But I have a lot of respect for design and history. A great and iconic watch. The cubitus looks to me like the result of asking a child to draw a square watch. There is nothing on the Cubitus that I could like 🤷♂️...
