Hi, Alex. It depends on which complication do you prefer.
Annual calendar or automatic chronograph Another concern is the thickness of watch, 5980 is a tad thicker. Personally I like annual calendar more. Please tell us your choice and post the wrist shot after the acquisition. Best, Henry
French discs…
…this is cool, LFPTK. Did you change them afterwards or could you order the watches with the french discs for day and month??
Aside from the size (which may be a factor for you), I prefer the
5726 because I find it more balanced overall whereas the 5980 has the two pushers on the side. Best of luck with your decision and remember to share wrist shots !
Between the two 5726 for me but in reality I'd get 5711/1A white if you like white ...
I don't like how any pushers change the shape of the Nautilus case. This leaves 5726 but I'd get 5711 white instead due to the cleaner look and 3 mm thinner case (8 mm vs 11 mm). On the 5276 I'd much prefer a date ring a la 3448/50 over the date window pl...
Difficult choice to make.
I would try both on. As mentioned by others the chrono is a bit thicker and would wear more like a sports watch. The 5726 is also fantastic love how proportionate the dial is however if I had to point out a possible weakness is the day and month windows a...
That‘s only the cap…
…of the column-wheel. The columns are beneath and can only be seen with a loupe from the side…
My choice and my first PP...
I chose this back in 2014 over a 5711 and the 5980, lol...when I can have all 3, but of course, damn funds are the problem...if only 1 knew. At that time, I felt the 5711 was too thin, a little flimsy and 5980 is way too thick, so I picked this Goldilocks...
I’ve had them all this is what’s left
Sometimes the first design is the best usually the case anyway… This is all that’s left after all the different dial choices ...
Easily…
5980… it is in my opinion the coolest and most important Nautilus since the 3700… and in white dial offers a superb contrast and beauty… but again beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
Interesting! I would have guessed the 5980 winning out on the 5726.
But it seems more like the 5726. I would really want both if I could get my hands on the 5980 at msrp. ...
