Versatility of Nautilus 5711

Really think hard about getting the Nautilus 5711, with a couple of consideration.

Firstly is of course the dial colour, the fantastic blue (or is it black or grey) which is always classy and mysterious with the tone changes VS the refreshing white, which somehow makes the watch less classy (not in a bad way) and makes it feel and look "younger" (lack of a better word to word to describe that i can think of, pardon my english)

Secondly is the versatility of the watch. Is is versatile enough for a casual weekend where you just feel like wearing your bermuda with flip flop. While the watch will be mostly under my cuff at work, versatility is always a factor to consider.

Any thoughts and opinion. If any kind owners would like to provide some pictures of your casual moments wearing your Nautilus, it will be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

"You can choose any color as long it's black". That was about the T-model. To me Nautilus is with blue-gray-black dial. That is a part of the character of the watch. White looks nice but it is too bright and too "obvious". I am wearing my 3712 with shorts...

This watch is perfect except for weddings and burials! nt [nt]

I have a problem with the uploader, but I loved the 5712.

Versatile, it was, as you stated it perfectly. I had to sell it for two reasons: To fund the 5070, and because I was a bit tired of the moonphase you always have to set when you don't wear the watch for a xhile. Now, you don't have this problem with the 5...

5711 Blue

I personally like the blue dial better. Wears great both casually and formally. Nautilus is a very elegant and at the same time practical timepiece. I have a 5712/1A and it wears just perfect in almost all occasions.

One of my absolute favorite watches is the 5712...

basically the same size as the 5711. As others have said, no problem wearing it in almost any situation. Usually looks blue, but happens to look gray in this pic. ...

A great choice obviously

I'm a 5712 owner but they are very close regarding your questions. I just can confirm all you think about it, and it is even more obvious in real life. I made a review of the 5712 that you can read for colors and dimensions ... (the movement is different ...

It actually led me to a follow-up purchase for the 5711, after finding out the very limitation of the 5205g. But no regrets as I now have two watches for different occasions. Love them both! Between the blue or white, I'd go for the blue. It is just what ...

Don't take this watch too seriously

By: Mostel : August 25th, 2012-17:33

It is a very nice watch, with a beautiful blue dial that is a soft medium to dark blue. It is very subtle and casual. My only criticism would be that the bracelet feels not worth the Patek premium. Others will no doubt disagree. It may not live up to the ...
