Right you are

I didn't mean to debase the original design of the Nautilus when I said 'spirit', I meant it as how I perceive the watch as it looks and the impressions that it embodies today, ie in direct comparison if the 5711 and 5712.
5712...

by a narrow margin and ONLY because it is unique in its presentation of the different complications. In comparison with other time only watch with steel bracelet, 5711 is almost the acme, at least looks-wise.
