Would you wear the 5711/1A or the 5712/1A? Thanks...Jim

The 5711 is Sooooo clean...Jim

I always said 5711, but in the last year for some reason I have changed my mind and now very much adore the quirkiness of the 5712.

Our tastes change...Jim

...  

I already have a 5712G on a blue strap (thank you Brandon) and agree it is a very asymmetrical dial, however there is a huge difference in red gold and a brown face compared to the 5711/1A. Thanks for the input...Jim

I appreciate your input, again with RG and the brown dial it looks much different...Jim

not to mention the backside is more interesting

Perfect answer!

In the world where $ is not a concern, I am an octopus, apparently.

The 5711 is iconic and a perfect watch...Jim

I had previously made a "mistake" with AP, choosing the Royal Oak Chrono over the 15202. In time I regretted not making not making the choice of the classic, more true to the original iconic design, uncomplicated piece. The same I feel is true with the 57... 

I tend to think how you do, the classic will always be the most desired. The 5712 is better in rose gold with a brown or blue (what I have) strap...Jim

I much prefer the 240 mini rotor and the complications on the 5712 compared to the 324 rotor and spartan dial of the 5711. My wrist is quite small and a spartan dial on a 40mm watch would make the watch look even larger.

Movement better also and I love the complications. Thanks for sharing...Jim

I chose 5711, my daily wear. I love the simplicity of the dial (blue dial of course).

Between both on this thread. Thank you everyone...Jim

5711 !

Add one for the 5711!

Without exception. M.

not a 5711 fan ? LOL !

But the 5711 is madness. M.

the Sterns and Patek !

We can’t like them all otherwise our lives would be even more tormented than they already are. I just really don’t get all the fuss and obsession with this watch. My only rational explanation is that they are limited in their supply. I know for a fact tha... 

“limited” supply, the demand is high vs production, resulting in “madness”.

As I said we can’t like them all but I am glad to see the joy this model brings its owners. That can only be a good thing as we need as much of that as we can get in this mad world. M.

I Will never put a Nautilus on my wrist I’m not going to say they are not proper sports watches but I will say they are not my preferred sports watch. M.

My wife said it looked boring. After wearing it, I was very underwhelmed. Found it bland.

Bought mine in 2014 and cherish it. Having said that, no way in hell I would buy it at the current trading price. Best Regards, Mustafa

Of the two I would hands down choose the 5712 more romantic

Best, Ahmed
