Apologies, Mark
...it was your review to which I was referring.
Thank you - the pictures were the best I've seen of the R variant. I don't think a full rose gold watch and bracelet will ever be my thing, but it's still fabulous!

Dear fellow Purists, After the release of the 5990A and the 5711R last year. My question is; did they live up to the expectations? The year passed and most of us might have had the chance to get accustomed to the newcomers. Some of us were lucky enough to...
Simple, but...

For me the relatively easy answer is: 5711/1a in blue dial, even with that date window and the 324SC. The P is glorious; but for me, the essence of this watch is the evolved original. (The white dial model isn\'t as attractive to me.) I haven\'t seen the ...
Apologies, Mark

No problem E!

I indeed thought the same thing when I read your answer to GT3 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Indeed, it is not a watch everyone will think about wearing, depending on what we are used to do but it is a nice watch to look at for sure. Have a nice Sunday. Cheers...
Favorite, the 5980/1R..

I like and own 5711/1a (white) 5712/1a 5712r 5980/1a (white) and 5980/1r Out of my own little "collection" I love the 5980/1r the most. I do not wear them much for the pass 6 months or so which is a shame on me. My current favorite Patek Philippe daily be...
Happy birthday!

Looking forward to seeing what you end up getting. You can\'t really go wrong with any one in my opinion. My personal preference would be to have room for a lot of Nautiluses like some of our fellow Purists... But I am very happy with my 2 for now. The 57...

I have the 5711 white dial and love it and look forward to one day adding a 5712. Although I also really love the 5980 in Blue or White, they are both beautiful in their own way. The Blue has an amazing contrast of colors and the White I just find really ...
5712A and 5980A
By: drphileasfogg : January 13th, 2016-01:19
I went for the 5712A, just got mine before Christmas. I love it – so thin. Nautiluses are best in steel, the 5711A may be too simple, the 5980A may be too bulky for my wrist although it will still be one of my choices; but the 5712A is just right for me. ...
Finally!

After years of searching and doubting ;-) As promised, here it is! We immediately went for lunch together ;-) "> And afterwards we had to celebrate With a nice dinner with it's older siblings. (I guess I like chronographs) What can I say? Can't be more th...
Did you keep the 5890R?
By: GT3 : January 15th, 2016-06:46
I love the R version too! But that's a tough call. Would I ever add an R and keep the A.... Good question. They are the same but so different. Honestly I couldn't give you an answer about that now. This option will be in my mind for a long long time ;-) M...
Kept R but not A
By: keks : January 15th, 2016-08:49
I wanted one in each metal and the thinner on bracelet. So decided to have 5712a/5980r as opposed to 5712r/5980a or which I find equally nice visually. If I was to add a Nautilus it would likely be a black or white dial piece ideally with a different move...

Thank you! I found it pre owned but from somebody who didn't wear it and kept it in very good condition. Unfortunately I didn't get it cheap. But I got it good As the saying goes: The quality will remain long after the price is forgotten. ;-) I have to be...
