5980 for 5170r opaline
5980 started becoming something I was not, so traded for class. Did I time the 5980’s rise perfectly?  Nope. But watch for watch, it still was dead right for me.

A old picture of my ex Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712A.

Gone in a trade for my 5070G, twelve years ago. That was a nice one, but I don't really regret it as I much prefer and much more often wear the 5070G. Best, Nicolas ...  

Both 5712 and 5070 are great pieces !

Glad you enjoyed the 5712 and now get to enjoy its sibling ! 👍

Thank you, Tony.

Great minds think alike. I had 5712 for a few years, gave it to my son. Bought a 5070, not kidding , found it wore a bit flat, vs, rounded on my wrist. Traded for 5270 and it’s still in my possession. I love the way it fits and looks. Thanks all.

Good one, mon ami. Enjoy.

This 5712A

and the 5990/1A are the Nautilus I like best. Because of their tasteful indications. ;-) But I have to confess I have never joined and will never join the "Nautilus club". I have refused to buy one many times when it was not hyped as now. Maybe I could ha... 

Wise words, dear Fabrizio!

I've made many decisions in my life. Important and less important. Like many others, too. I always approach important decisions in a very structured manner. What I can say with certainty: There were "right" and of course also "wrong" decisions among them....

What did you trade this for

 
 By: Cookies : February 15th, 2022-12:34
Sweet dreams are made of these.

For a 5070.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:32

Good move and much better choice

 
 By: penfriend : February 15th, 2022-12:48
I personally never felt old enough in the last 30 years to wear a Nautilus on my wrist

Hehehe! Good one, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:32

No regrets at all, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:37

I never gandered the 5712, but you picture shows it in his full glory!

As for the trade, what the hearth wants, the hearth should get!!! If it brings a smile on your face and satisfaction to your senses, you won! Financially.... big mistake;-)))) Have a lovely day my friend!

5070G was a good move

 
 By: MiguelFlash : February 15th, 2022-13:50
But man, this one is also so beautiful!

Merci, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:44

Me too, me too, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:45

I can only agree, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:45

aye aye aye! Wow Bill! Stunning!

Do you also have a photo

 
 By: MTR : February 15th, 2022-20:08
with the minute hand at 3? 😉

LOL. No!

Too thick I’d call it maturity

 
 By: toxly347 : February 15th, 2022-22:14
No charm I’d call it dementia No offence

I m not sure

 
 By: yming : February 16th, 2022-15:37
The chrono buttons kinda distorts the distinctive nautilus case shape.. and of course the date window is like a blemish on dial

This is a fantastic timepiece.

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : February 15th, 2022-19:15
But your 5070G is a spectacular timepiece! I think you made the right decision, and a 5070 is a good enough excuse to let your nautilus go!

Glad the trade worked well for you

I also prefer symmetry in the information displayed.

Gracias, Jaccard.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-21:58

Definitely😉👍

Hehehe... ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 16th, 2022-14:32

Nah… ;-)

 
 By: FabR : February 16th, 2022-15:48

Si si si.... ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 16th, 2022-21:47

Clearly. Thanks, mon ami.
