Thought I’d like the time only model over the complicated big date - turns out I was wrong. The big date on the strap wears a lot smaller than the bracelet model. Both wear larger than my 5711.

Thanks for posting your wrist shots !

In addition to how they wear on the wrist in terms of size, what are your thoughts on how they look đź‘€ in the metal and what is your overall assessment ?

Both models wear and look significantly larger than my 5711.

The blue dial large date looks smaller than the olive green SS time only as the bracelet on the latter is wide at the case and adds to the visual. Not tempted by either. I thought that the green dial would have more “pop” but didn’t under the boutique lighting.

I actually like the 5712 looking model.

What was your overall assessment? I’ve heard ppl say that it’s too big. I hope it doesn’t bring back the huge watch trend.

It really does look huge… wonder what drove the case size decision (?)

See above for the overall assessment.

I did prefer the large date model and really liked the strap - preferred it to the supersized Nautilus bracelet. The east-west real estate on the watch is really large and noticeable in the way which the ears on the Nautilus are not.

I think they look pretty good……..

….especially the time only version. People seem especially critical because of the incredibly stupid model line name. Thanks sharing.
