i dont know why BUT i have this deep deep urge to get the 5980
i mean before i didnt like it and was fascinated and still am by the 5712 (i was stupid enough to sell it just months ago but for personal reasons and still hurt from it) but i swear out of no wear the 5980 became some kind of obsession at the moment...it...
GO FOR IT
i have the steel version and the rose gold version they are way thicker than the 5712 and looks alot nicer on the wrist, go for it and don't even think twice. it's a great one.
I have both the 3712 and 5980A

I think we recently discussed the fact that it is an integrated chrono, my friend.
And to make it short, yes, it is. I can understand that... Not my favourite among the 3, when launched in 2006, but now, it is. Maybe the 5712 looks mre refined than the 5980, but this last one is more powerful, and sums quite well the spirit of the Nauti...

Go for the blue
I'm not in the hunt for a 5980 at this time but if I was I'd get the blue one. It would complete my trio, hum maybe I should do just that?
Buy it you will not regret it
My first Patek purchase, had it for 3 months and do not regret it one bit, absolute stunner and one of the best sport watch around. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/photoav.jpg/] [/URL] Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/U...
For me....
it is the best sports watch with a bracelet.... Mind you, it s not really a tool watch (I doubt it that any watch can beat a Rolex submariner or a FF) but Patek did not mean it to be one... A real pleasure to wear. Cheers
