Thanks for sharing these two gems with the forum! In my view, they are MUCH more complementary than alternative to each other....not to mention two of the most gorgeous current Nautilus models in this /1R configuration! Keep both is my vote Sir! :-)
Change consideration
Hi everyone ) Recently have tried this beauty, now thinking of substitution of my 5980 on it…what is your opinion dear watch lovers ? ...
Both are beautiful watches. The 5712/1R-001 is slimmer, more elegant
and can be worn more easily under long sleeves…
Unless you have a clear use of the chronograph function, I would go with the 5712
Which is indeed more elegant thanks to its thinness
Both beautiful but i still like the 5980 a bit more tbh .
the dial layout of the 5980 is more balanced imho
If you have to choose one, IMO the deciding factor, other than functions, is
whether you want a bigger wrist presence. Both pieces are great and if possible, have both. Let us know your decision and how you made it.
You can't make your own decision?
You're really going to let other people influence your decision on what watch you wear???

First and foremost no one can influence my decision and it will be made out of my own feelings And second , are you having a bad day? I thought this forum was about discussing watches and steps we make toward them)
Then why are you asking for opinions?
That obviously can't be true. You're asking for opinions in your original post, and in your post responding to me says you won't be influenced. So... That makes no sense... You're asking for opinions. Now you're saying all these opinions are going to be c...
WPS welcomes members asking others for opinions/suggestions in a friendly manner as you did. Whether you
use the replies to help with your decision, naturally you decide. Looking forward to knowing your decision, which I am hoping you will have both 👍
Virtually every collector I have ever known over decades of collecting Pateks is interested in knowing and discussing other collectors’ opinions about
about watches they are thinking of buying, watches they are comparing and watches in general. It is a most natural, enjoyable and informative exchange of ideas to have. It appeals to both the intellectual and emotional sides of buying and/or trading a spe...
If the choice is one or the other I would keep the RG one but Steel Nautilus is more versatile and wearable in all circumstances
the ideal option is both: financially I think is like cash in the bank (if bought from an AD of course) + appreciation so totally worth it.
My vote goes to the 5712
In my opinion the chrono pushers ruins the iconic nautilus case shape
