The Aquanaut 5167 - Do you not think that is more of a dress watch than the Nautilus 5711?
I am in a huge quandary about whether to get a Nautilus 5711 or Aquanaut 5167. I do not see either of these two watches as "sports" watches (except perhaps for extremely rich people) but rather very smart casual watches bordering on dress watches. I am in my early 30's and whilst I do love watches like the Richard Lange and the Vacheron Patrimony Automatic, I think they are too "old" for me and I simply do not lead a life that justifies these super elegant (and quite fragile) watches yet. What I need is a very smart, thin "dress watch" that is also versatile enough to use in most situations and cannot decide whether the Nautilus of Aquanaut best fit that requirement.
I do not like leather straps in general (apart from the first 3 months of their life) due to how tatty and squalid they become over time. I also for some reason don't like wearing watches that have a bracelet with a suit or to very smart functions (may just be a phase however, but have all sorts of images of travelling sales men and car dealers flashing some shiny chuck of metal at you as some validation of their integrity or status or whatever). Therefore is the Aquanaut not a perfect "dress watch" for someone in my position - Its thin, it smart, its versatile and the rubber strap is elegant enough to make the watch quite dressy I think ??. Or do you feel a bracelet watch is fine on a "dress watch" and the Nautilus is more of a dress watch and the Aquanaut is too casual??
Thank you
