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...

do you collect the watches? the 5990 looks decent and elegant. ha... I will prefer to sportier watch

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...
