The popularity with petite complications

Sep 07, 2015,05:03 AM
 

In the Nautilus 3712 and 5712 is so resounding. Prior to that, there were the 5054 and 5055 which were essentially the same complications in the calatrava case. 


Do people like the petite complications in 5054 and 5055 back then ? Why or why not ?

I was reading your post about the Red Sub and I didn't know you were interested in this one too. You opened your ownership with a great collection of pictures. Congratulations and wear it in the best of health JF! Cheers, Mark ...  

Thanks Mark. I love both kind of watches equally...

the vintage pieces have an incredible soul and the modern high end watches a formal beauty

An universal watch,

 
 By: dr.kol : July 16th, 2015-09:40
both for the leisure time and business does not go any better. Even I have the old, outdated model 3712, I am still often considering getting a 5712 sister. I have more than two watches and this is probably the watch I love (in average) the most. Congrats... 

Same with me; I'm not an expert.

 
 By: dr.kol : July 17th, 2015-00:39
But in my eyes the dial of 3712 is a bit nicer and the construction is totally different. The case of 3712 is made of two parts just like the original 3700. It expensive to produce. At the same time the case of 5712 is conventional 3-parts case. Perhaps I... 

As a Rolex Moderator you should know better!

In the mall I might meet former classmates or employees. Because I need to show everybody that I'm doing well, my Mall watch is a ROLEX! Best, Kari

Congrats Jeff

you have a great collection and this one is for sure one of the nicest modern watch

Merci Olivier ! [nt]

Whatever...

...you do, whatever you wear, the Nautilus looks just right on your wrist. Always cool and at the same time sublime and elegant. Congratulations! best Stefan

Congrats for this superb 5712!

My fav Nautilus... because the 240... Fx

Merci FX. It took some years for me to like the watch...

 
 By: DrStrong : July 17th, 2015-00:27
...because of the messy dial....which I find very sexy now !

Congrats on getting the best watch out there. Period.

 
 By: keks : July 16th, 2015-14:17
Subjective perhaps as I am very biased. But there are few watches that carry themselves as well in pretty much any situation as this one. By a long shot the watch I have that gets the most wrist time. Nice pics!

Dr. Strong your new purchase....

 
 By: watercolors : July 17th, 2015-00:34
looks absolutely beautiful on the photographs. The Nautilus is a stunnig watch. Congratulations, and wear it in good health for many, years to come! Cheers Edward

Congratulation

All your shots are superb.. Have a great weekend Ronald

Congratulations and welcome to the club……

The 5712 was imo, like you described it "messy" But over the past year, I have warmed to it. You have made an excellent choice. HAGWE Kind Regards Tony

As Nicolas said in the Rolex forum...

 
 By: DrStrong : July 18th, 2015-06:16
...sometimes people change their mind ;-)

Love the 5712

Congratulations on this special time piece. Be forewarned, the dial acts like an eye magnet. Try not to stare at it while driving!

The dial has so many color variations...

 
 By: DrStrong : July 18th, 2015-06:15
...it is indeed hard not to play with the watch all day long !

Congratulations, you will surely enjoy it for many years to come

 
 By: Pingparme : July 20th, 2015-01:55
Congratulations! Enjoy the beautiful timepiece! It's a pity that they don't make the micro-adjustable links like the new Rolexes and I had to buy a 1.5 link which spoiled the continuity of the asthetics of the bracelet. Oh well... The good thing is that i... 

This gang was waiting for you

and btw great set of picture, looks and fits nicely on your wrist. little bit envy of this one, must admit. ciao, chris

I'm glad this thread rose to the top again

 
 By: mauiguy : September 4th, 2015-23:58
It's difficult for me to express just how much I love this watch. People either love it or hate it, which is fine by me and perhaps one of the reasons why I love it so much!

Captivating!

 
 By: MTR : September 5th, 2015-02:17
For me the most attracting Nautilus at the moment. Very versatile. And IMHO: it delivers all the information you need including the date without the common date window. Thank you for the very appealing shots! Best, Thomas

Congrats and welcome to the club but I have to warn you...

 
 By: Mike H : September 6th, 2015-16:06
This Watch has a problem : it is so versatile, so captivating, so comfortable, so easy to wear whatever the circomstances casual or formal... that you will find yourself wearing it all the time and coming back to it every time you wear another one. Actual...
