This is very understandable
the 2 watches aim at two very different wearing/enjoyment feelings.
I have a 5712 and would totally see myself having a 5711 as well. Thus I can even more understand the complementarity of both references.
A sportier and usefulness 5990, more spectacular, on one side and the elegance, beauty and discretion of the 5711 on the other.
I like the black dial as well and don't think I have preference for the blue one.
Enjoy them both and thank you for sharing the pictures!
Cheers, Mark

Cousins meeting for the first time
I never thought I would say this but after having received the 5990 tonight, The 5711 and 5990 are similar but yet so different. But thats not the point, the point is I didn't think I would prefer the simple, classic line and color of 5711 blue dial to th...
Congratulations on the 5990.
Interesting to hear you prefer the 5711. I sometimes think about trading my 5980 (black) for the 5990 - maybe a better option is to keep the 5980 and add a 5711.
Thank you,
When you put them side by sidr then you will see more clearly the seriousness of 5711 to 5990
Both are great, and I prefer your 5711 because of its ...
... blue dial ! Enjoy both. Cheers Gordon
Thanks Gordon! They will be
Getting major wrist time for now til the ceramic daytona comes in.
I also prefer the pure 5711
I had a 5711 + the 5980r. I liked the dial effect of the simple dial much more. So I sold the 5980r and bought a 5711r on a strap. Much more enjoyment and comfort. With some extra cash I added a 15202.or as the Genta-bonus!
The chrono does wear bulkier and casual.
I wouldnt have sold the 5980r though since it will very likely be out of production next year.

Enjoying both for different occasion, Mark.
Cant wait for fall release of naut 40th though
The 5990 is thicker cause it has more functions.
It has complications. So thickness is under standable. To me the 5711 seems more chic and definitely a more handsome watch. But your 5990 is also a chic watch. My opinion. Congrats. Cheers Geross.
congratulations for the 5990
do you collect the watches? the 5990 looks decent and elegant. ha... I will prefer to sportier watch
I woulndt consider myself a collector.
But I do love the look of nautilus and more sports oriented watches. As I grow older though I find classic simple watches more attractive, though not necesarily fitting to the places I frequent. Here's a couple of 5990 shots under the sun. I think it is a...
