Nauti Plunge
Need advice. Developed a crush (late, I know) on Nautilus and held out for the anniversary pieces. Not going there, for reasons that don't need repeating. I'm left with this conundrum: 5712 or 3712? Your views much appreciated.

I like the 3712 more, but the price differential over the 5712
is not justified IMO unless you're a hardcore Nautilus collector and need to round out the collection. So my vote goes to the 5712. Cheers, John

Many thanks Mark, as ever.
I have initiated with AD the 5712 quest. Could probably get an auction bargain, but am a sucker for the first owner process. Keep you posted!
Thank you Patrick.
In all honesty, am not a big fan of the juxtaposition of a perfect circle and the bezel shape. This is totally my idiosyncrasy so please forgive me! It\'s probably because my Nautilus crush is still in its early stages. Give me time.
