5712R - Advice please!
I’m currently going through the process of buying a new watch. I had thought of the AP Royal Oak Chrono but I have finally decided to by the PP Nautlius 5712R.
I will be buying this watch second hand, my question is if there have been changes to the model since 2006?
to make matters even more confusing I have found variance in the dial’s appearance between being brown/black and grey/blackPhotos below give examples. I can’t tell if it’s just a subtle effect of the photography or if there has been changes to the dial colour (and or anything else) the 5712 over the years.
If someone is able to oppine on it there have there been changes to the design of the 5712R since they updated in 2006 and is able to provide some information on the changes that have occurred on the 5712R since it was first released I would be hugely grateful!

Hmm a brown dial

I've never seen a brown dial until now but other sources on the Internet seem to indicate it's real and factory. My guess is that the brown dial is a a lot more rare than the common grey dial. The brown dial seems to work better with the yellow gold IMO.
Thanks!

Many thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate you comments and thoughts! It seems to be there hasn’t been a change since 2006, so I can focus on the condition of the pieces! I will let you know once I have made the purchase - hopefully this week! Cheer...
