the place to help you decide.

I agree with you that 5740 is a much more desired watch given its complication with such a thin case. The heft is also great just like the 5711R.

For me, I would take 5740 on a relative basis with 5711R.

Let us know what you decide.

The 5740

 
 By: Watches_passion : September 8th, 2022-16:49
Hi everyone, I am seriously considering the 5740 after letting go on the idea of 5711/1R. Any feedback from the experts here? I have one being offered to me so i am considering it. Thanks in advance. ...  

i would go for it

it it is offered at retail price. Otherwise i guess there is still too much of a premium even though the watch is great thin avec very beautiful .

You know this would not happen

To me it is the most beautiful nautilus

I'm not a nautilus guy, but if I were you I'd get it

Considering you're asking yourself the question...

Considering you're asking yourself the question would indicate you're not totally convinced it's the right one for you. I've never bought a watch where I needed encouragement from others - that's simply an indication that I didn't like it enough on my own... 

Thanks Patrick…

But at the price offered, i felt i should ask… as you can imagine, this is not a retail offer. I did like the the 5711/1R but i felt given the price difference, the 5740 would be more interesting. I also own a 5711 steel blue.

I definitely didn't assume it was a retail offer.

 
 By: patrick_y : September 8th, 2022-20:33
I definitely didn't assume either way; if it was an offer at retail, or an offer with markup. But definitely, my advice would apply to both scenarios. I will say, I'm not crazy about perpetual calendars - they're a pain to set and if you forget to put it ... 

I tried one on (a friend's)...

...and it is a special piece. The only Nautilus that really appeals to me... I was surprised by the weight and would have preferred stainless steel, but one can't have everything : )

I let my 5711 go last year to get this instead!

Well we all love it at retail; so it really comes down

If you didn’t get this piece; what would you get? I got to try one on this week and it was awesome. As others said; it’s super thin for being a PC; and it’s WG so it has the left and less bling; but all nautilus are bling bow no matter what metal!

Still thinking of it. Will let you know.

I do enjoy wearing it but it’s a pretty “jiggly” timepiece … doesn’t really feel like a solid gold watch like a Vacheron or Rolex “feel solid” .. put on a platinum president and you get the idea I’m trying to convey… It’s in the winder most of the time… B...  

Thanks…

 
 By: Watches_passion : September 13th, 2022-02:01
Is this because it is white gold?

No…

 
 By: kamdaswani : September 13th, 2022-02:11
It’s just too light .. lacks density / heft hence its offers little satisfaction as a “solid gold watch”

Interesting comment ! To me, I love the 5740’s

 
 By: GLau : September 13th, 2022-02:15
heft for such a thin watch.

Interesting..

 
 By: Watches_passion : September 13th, 2022-03:59
When i tried i felt it is heavy for a nautilus. I have the 5990 steel and the 5740 looked heavier

To me 5990/1A is heavy ! 5740 might have the same weight but in a much
