Horological Meandering

Which piece do I prefer?

Hello! It's a hard question to answer, as I like them all!! But, if I'm to pick just one watch out of the Nautilus range, then it's the 5712-1A, as it provides useful information for daily wear, and being the 30th anniversary model it also serves as a good collector piece. To me when I buy a Nautilus, I know I'm buying an icon of PP. As for the 5980, I bought it for the mere reason that I think the chronograph function ties up with the "sporting" nature of the Nautilus, when the Nautilus model was first conceived. some 31 years back. Enjoy your Aquanaut, for I think this is the only model in the PP range, which is suitable for both formal and casual occasions. IMHO, you should also consider investing in a pair of tropical rubber strap. Cheers!

I just picked this watch up the other day and wanted to share some photos. I never thought I'd ever own this model but the deal I got was too good to pass on. I always thought the watch wasn't bad looking from the photos but I was never in love the with r...

I personally like the Aquanaut better on the rubber strap cause the bracelet looks a little clunky to me since there are spaces between each link while on the wrist. Either way, awesome watch u got there! You still have your Breguet and GO? You sure have ...

I might try it on a leather strap down the road, the bracelet looks really good in person. I do still have the PML and the Marine BD along with a JLC Amvox R-Alarm that you saw at the NYC event and a Blancpain flyback chrono. (plus the 3 in the last pictu...

Congrats on being the owner of this fine watch! I bought mine some eight years back and was one of the first to come out from the factory. Mine came with just the rubber strap, which I think really suits the "sporty" image (by PP's own defination) of the ...

Thanks for the response. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at a watch, didn't really like it, and end up buying it six months later. I felt the exact same ways with the VC and AP pictured above. I'm sure someday I'll be a Nautilus owner and get ...
