Incoming (and yet another nautilus)…my first impressions of the 5990-1R
Of course, very happy to add this to my collection. First full rose gold for me and first thick cased nautilus. I’ve noticed that the 5990 (1A) is beloved to many, which curated my interest — the balanced dial, the complication, and the weight. On the R, ...
Congratulations 👍👍👍
Beautiful watch the best release this year on the Nautilus line. One my wish list… but haven’t had the chance to try it yet 😟 Fram
Waoh! Wow! Bam! That is the best Fall color of the year…
Speechless and huge congratulations on one of the most sought after watch of the brand this year. That’s a big, heavy jackpot 😬
Thank you, Raymond!!! It’s a big watch. I’m so unsure of it…but, I know what it is…
I’m like a deer caught in headlights!!! 😂
Simply gorgeous
Wear it tight fitting rather than loose. Even a SS watch worn loose would damage the hinges of the bracelet if worn too often.
Congrats, this is a pretty spectacular 5990 iteration, Patek got it totally right here in my view! I had a chance to play with it for a while and its wrist presence is simply unbeatable! Of course, as you say, it IS *very* noticeable as well...
Hope you'll strike the right balance with this superb piece and will fully enjoy it whenever you elect to wear it! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Tim, BIG congrats on landing this double stamped 5990 !
Definitely a “heavy” weight in all aspects ! Enjoy it often ! 👍
WHAOUAH Tim 😳, I knew I felt a disturbance in the force. The 5990 is a favorite of mine in the Nautilus line and if I had to choose only 1 Nautilus and could never change it, it would most likely be the 5990 due to the features and practically daily...
Your 5990/1R in rose gold is everything I just stated but BEEFED up a level 😁. On top of that, you got a T dial so this new acquisition is EPIC bro 🔥🔥 Huge congrats my friend and don't worry about the weight, flash, etc...Rock that beast until like it's y...
Thank you for your kinda words, Justin! I’m so used to my 5711 being thin that this is so foreign to me.
The t dial is I pretty cool, although I’m not sure why it’s crammed in the subdial at 6. I’m gonna try and rock this, but I do think this more along your style! Just trying to keep up here! 👍
Greetings from a distant cousin. The rose and blue combination is pretty spectacular. So a BIG congratulations!!
Wear it on special occasions or everyday if you are so inclined in the best of health! Best, Patekova ...
Patekova, thank you! I have to say that I was intrigued when I saw yours, prompting me to this!
I have a feeling that the ss cousin may be better balanced on the wrist?
Thank you for your kind words. I love the 5990. It is my favorite Nautilus. The steel version is a very practical, yet a complicated daily type wearer.
Is it better balanced? I don’t know about that. It is obviously lighter, but it is no light weight. I think you will adjust to the weight of the watch. And if you feel a bit self conscious about the gold aspect you can wear a soft fabric, loose fitting lo...
Absolutely! This forum is quite influential!
It will take to a while to get used to the R, but I’m sure I will manage! As of right now, I’m very happy wearing in the comfort of my home! 😂 cheers, Tim
Fantastic watch….
Patek got it right on this one. I have the A and love it… but this one is a different level… even though i would not dare to wear it in public😂😂
