I do enjoy wearing it but it’s a pretty “jiggly” timepiece … doesn’t really feel like a solid gold watch like a Vacheron or Rolex “feel solid” .. put on a platinum president and you get the idea I’m trying to convey…
It’s in the winder most of the time…
But
It’s nice to know I have it.. and I wouldn’t sell it - it’s the only nautilus I have actually - sold my 5712r as there are just too many out there.. this has a certain snob value… people look …
But bottom line, it’s simply not enuf … for me…
I think I would enjoy wearing the 5990r more…
My 2 cents sir…

The 5740

Hi everyone, I am seriously considering the 5740 after letting go on the idea of 5711/1R. Any feedback from the experts here? I have one being offered to me so i am considering it. Thanks in advance. ...
i would go for it

it it is offered at retail price. Otherwise i guess there is still too much of a premium even though the watch is great thin avec very beautiful .
Considering you're asking yourself the question...

Considering you're asking yourself the question would indicate you're not totally convinced it's the right one for you. I've never bought a watch where I needed encouragement from others - that's simply an indication that I didn't like it enough on my own...
Thanks Patrick…

But at the price offered, i felt i should ask… as you can imagine, this is not a retail offer. I did like the the 5711/1R but i felt given the price difference, the 5740 would be more interesting. I also own a 5711 steel blue.
I definitely didn't assume it was a retail offer.

I definitely didn't assume either way; if it was an offer at retail, or an offer with markup. But definitely, my advice would apply to both scenarios. I will say, I'm not crazy about perpetual calendars - they're a pain to set and if you forget to put it ...
I tried one on (a friend's)...

...and it is a special piece. The only Nautilus that really appeals to me... I was surprised by the weight and would have preferred stainless steel, but one can't have everything : )

I let my 5711 go last year to get this instead!
Well we all love it at retail; so it really comes down

If you didn’t get this piece; what would you get? I got to try one on this week and it was awesome. As others said; it’s super thin for being a PC; and it’s WG so it has the left and less bling; but all nautilus are bling bow no matter what metal!

Is this because it is white gold?
No…
By: kamdaswani : September 13th, 2022-02:11
It’s just too light .. lacks density / heft hence its offers little satisfaction as a “solid gold watch”
Interesting..

When i tried i felt it is heavy for a nautilus. I have the 5990 steel and the 5740 looked heavier
i think i am...
