Nautilus craze
Why is the nautilus craze mainly on the models 5711 A and 5712 A? The 5726 A and 5990 A don’t seem to be as popular. They are Nautilus models as well. Anyone please help me understand. Thank you.
My thoughts and curiosity as well but my best guess...
the blue dial...just look at the 40th anniversary and the 5740 and the discontinued 5980.
If the 5726 and 5990 comes in blue, their fate will be different.
That’s just my observation, no data to support, just like what you observed.... the 5726 has a more complicated AC but not much love... oh dear...if I got ban for answering you, I’ll blame you 😳
Hmmm...
Not sure I agree that the blue dial is the reason. The silver/ white dial is also hot. I’m curious too.
You can’t just walk into any PP boutique or AD and get 5726A or 5990A any time though.
Even though maybe less popular, but still very much in demand these days.
If you look at the item that we’re not supposed to discuss...
5726 is not much different from 5712, and not far from 5711, which imo is not very “fair”, considering the amount of work in the bracelets and AC movement, so is 5990 in relative term.
I agree there aren’t probably any in stock or display, If one were to walk into any AD or boutique to ask for any SS Nautilus.

Lol. When I saw the “no data “ words in your post I thought the same thing you did—-banned.
It is sad that your very nice post evoked that negative thought. What has this forum become? I hope all the talk about getting banned for unsupported opinions was a joke.
I understand where the Mods are coming from, to prevent negativity...
and to make this forum not a finger pointing culture or tarnishing brand images on a unsupported claim.
I’m a happy person who like to joke, take it easy in life, so I think they know me 😜🤣, so I’m still here.

I understand this. But there are better ways to achieve that goal. [nt]

Several reasons
-5711 and 5712 have the nice thin case as the original ,the others are not
-blue dial as on the original the others are grey or/and white
-11/12 has lower MSRP as the others
-11 reminds the most for the original and the 12 bit exceeds it ,it has no second hand but has some extra complications nicely cased .
orhers will surely mention some other reasons

Thank you
However, the 5740G seems to have more attraction among collectors. I am just curious on this observation.
You ve right that one i ve skipped
but that one also fit into some my criterias
sleek
blue
However the most expensive (to be fair made of PM and tge highest complication)

Just guessing
But maybe because of the dial color. Grey isn't so popular...
That said, it's not like one can walk in to any PP AD and get a 5725 or 5990. Even relatively less popular, these two still have waiting list.
My 2cts for what's it worth. The 5711 and the 5712 are slimmer.
Not much height. They are not so huge in diameter. My opinion. They are both slim, sleek, and sexy. And consumers are buying to it. Regarding the blue dial its manly. Therefore the attraction.
Geross.

I chose a 5726 over a 5711
Probably a really dumb decision financially but I love the 5726 and prefer the slightly thicker watch head
Should’ve bought the 5711 sell it for double the price then get the 5726 plus a good sum of cash [nt]

I would guess that the overwhelming factor is price
Other factors such as dial colour, thinness etc also play a part, but to a much lesser degree. The pool of buyers for a £20k watch is much bigger than for a £40k watch so I’m not surprised the 5711 has higher demand than the 5990.
I think the higher demand for the 5711 has also given it some momentum and caught people’s interest who might not otherwise have considered a Nautilus.

Thin for the win
5711 add 5712 are thin like original. 5726 is a great watch but the thickness makes it a totally different experience.
Yes I also had that in mind
Re the 5740, that’s my favourite of all the Nautilus. However I’m on the list for a 5711 but I’m not on the list for a 5740, and the only reason is price.
It’s the sport watch craze for simple complication...
The likes that you see on the AP Royal Oak, Rolex Sub, SD43, GMT.
It’s popular due to social media and hence gets more attention and demand. Supply is tightly controlled IMO.

I think you're 100% correct.
PP, Rolex, AP, RM, etc. should thank Instagram for the demand! 
We already had this in 1999 / 2000 / 2001. Sports pieces were scarcely supplied. Even an Explorer II or a GMT MASTER was challenging to get. Premium for the Yacht Master! [nt]
