5176- some thoughts..................
I have been wearing my 5176, the 40mm Aquanaut as my daily wearer for 3 months now, and it is a very comfortable watch to wear. The synthetic strap fits the wrist perfectly and the deployment clasp is a beauty.
It is easy to read the time in any lighting circumstance, day or night, and getting it wet is not a problem. Unfortunately my other PPs dont get much of an airing since I bought this great watch. The 5176, although primarily a sports watch is still appropriate with a suit.
I had one of the 1st 5712 1/a Nautilus watches which is now gone as although a fine watch to wear, the face was hard to read, especially the pointer for the date, and I just dont like the aesthetics of the wing at 9 o'clock.
Good luck with your project,

Aquanaut or Nautilus?
Can someone please share his thoughts as to which of the two--Aquanaut or Nautilus--is a more comfortable wear as a daily beater "sports" watch? Thanks.

A quick follow-up Q
Given that you have only had the 5167 for the past three months, I assume it is simply too early in the season to gauge how the synthetic strap might feel during the summer months. As the strap is synthetic and by thus definition can't "breathe", it would...
aquanaut 5167 without doubt
Bought this watch a few months ago. It looks great, it wears great, it is great and for being a PP it's price is acceptable. You can wear it as a sportswatch but also as a dresswatch , you just need to buy a leather strap for it. not the best picture but ...
Agree with that!
These 3712/5712 were a real surprise for me, as I wasn't very found of the Nautilus, bfore seeing one in the flesh.. It was one friend's 3712...And I was suprised by this dial, simply gorgeuos... So, with a big luck, i was abl to buy a 5712...And now, I'm...
I have both.....
...with the rubber strap, sure the 5167 is more comfortable. But if I have to select only one, I think the Nautilus will be my choice. With the SS bracelet, the Nautilus will be more versatile....
