No problem at all. Despite both 5740 and 5712 are rated 60m water resistance, the most important water-resistant feature is the screwed down crown. Certainly you also need to make sure there has been regular checking of the O ring.
Have been swimming/ rinsing with my 5740 and 5712 from day 1 and they survive the water test with flying colours.
On the other hand, I dare not doing the same with my wife's 7118, which is also rated the same water resistance but without a screwed down crown.
Bring your 5712 with you at the pool, it will upgrade the swimming experience tremendously.
Cheers, Henry
A short summer trip at Macao.
As my daughter just came back from boarding school, our family had a short break at the nearby Macao. Wonderful weather, resort and food. Creating fond memories for the family 🥰. Wish all members a great summer vacation too! Best, Henry ...
Lovely shots Henry, have a great stay!
Glad to see that you're fully enjoying your Nautilus 😉 By the way, are you comfortable swimming with it? It is only rated 60m, right? I was never confident to do it with my 5712, although I would love to (I would then take it on vacation more often, missi...
I think 60m is the minimum for swimming
I swim, snorkel, shower, and do cannonballs in another 60m watch not named Patek and I've never had a problem with it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Henry!
My 5712 could definitely be a perfect summer-vacation companion. I think that I'll follow your advice next year. And I have time to have it serviced in the meantime, as I bought it quite a few years ago and no check ever since. By the way, I'm always curi...
Since most of the people were attracted to another water park in the resort, the hotel's swimming pool was much less crowded.
But I guess it will be much more busy in the peak of summer time......
Wonderful shots, a beautiful city, not to mention a fabulous watch on the wrist!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Aquatic 💦 activities for 5740 PC ! You are the
MAN ! Enjoy the family vacation and hope you win enough in casinos for another 5740 !💪
Very nice that you go with your family, build memories my friend. Equally a very sturdy Nautilus. Cool. 😊
Cheers. 🍾🥂🥃🍰, enjoy. Geross.
wonderful piece!! I know the 5740 is waterproof, but it takes courage to actually submerge it in water.
Has the large bridge between Macau & Hongkong completed yet?
Thank you, Shun. With the port window design of nautilus (although a three pieces construction instead of the 2 pieces) and most importantly screwed down crown, there is no worries in bringing this beauty into water.
The bridge between Hong Kong and Macao has been completed and put into function. Though I still like to travel by high speed ferry, which takes less than a hour, compared with 2hr+ travel by bus.
