Match up. Patek 5726 strap vs 5711 white dial.
Forgetting the price hype at equal value how to compare theses two watches along the lines including strap vs bracelet.
Popularity and the fact they are both likely candidates to be discontinued.
Go with the one that makes smile is a given but any other thoughts.
Have a great weekend.

I think the more sober 5711 would be a great compliment to your 5980 [nt]

I used to have the 5711 white (now gone to a childhood friend), and in general I tend to prefer Nautilus with bracelets, so that gets my vote :-) Cheers. [nt]

If I had to Take one of these two, it would be the 5711 White
The 5726 is in theory and on Pictures a very nice watch. I've been interested in it several years ago and tried the White and black 5726 on my wrist. Result: I've got a serious Issue with the fact, that the Date windows are so tiny, that They're basically Not nicely legible. And the dial Looks too crowded. My conclusion was Not to buy a 5726.
5711 is therefore my choice between These two.

Benefit of experience with the watch on the wrist is crucial. Thx. [nt]

The 5960 defender. But it is not in the cards yet.
The steel one is the one to get as they are slowly becoming more available.
Yes, go, my friend. The 5960A is the reference to get before they go too high... [nt]

For only 1 reason I’d go white 5711...
I love the annual calendar, but a leather strap on a Nautilus is a deal breaker for me. If it was the steel, then 5726 for sure.
5711 all the way
You will love it so much. IMO this watch is made with the bracelet. You can’t separate the two.
Btw it still beats the 5960 - I have both. No doubt in my mind.
I have both, actually have all of them and it just comes down to what you like more...
I find I wear the 5726A more often than the 5711/1A. Most people would not but since I have other Nautilus watches as well as a rather large assortment of SS sports watches from other manufacturers it comes down to what is more useful, and for me it is the annual calendar function.
Just swap out the leather/composite strap for a rubber B and you are set.
Both is better than one. Thank you for giving a very personal note.
The bracelet seems to be the sticking point in general to have the authentic Nautilus look. But in your case with both you have the best of both worlds.

I would pick the 5711 white...
I've worn both at one time or another. I love the 5726 annual calendar, but would prefer it on a bracelet. The white 5711 is a very nice watch. Good luck!
