This 5712A

and the 5990/1A are the Nautilus I like best. Because of their tasteful indications. ;-)

But I have to confess I have never joined and will never join the "Nautilus club".

I have refused to buy one many times when it was not hyped as now.

Maybe I could have made a small fortune speculating, given the current prices. But my heart never beat for the Nauitlus. It has always left me cold.

On the other hand, if I look at your wonderful 5070G, you made the absolutely right decision from my point of view, mon ami!

You should show us this beauty much more often, please!

Best
Thomas

Gone in a trade for my 5070G, twelve years ago. That was a nice one, but I don't really regret it as I much prefer and much more often wear the 5070G. Best, Nicolas ...  

Both 5712 and 5070 are great pieces !

Glad you enjoyed the 5712 and now get to enjoy its sibling ! 👍

I did the similarly…

5980 for 5170r opaline 5980 started becoming something I was not, so traded for class. Did I time the 5980’s rise perfectly? Nope. But watch for watch, it still was dead right for me.

Thank you, Tony.

Great minds think alike. I had 5712 for a few years, gave it to my son. Bought a 5070, not kidding , found it wore a bit flat, vs, rounded on my wrist. Traded for 5270 and it’s still in my possession. I love the way it fits and looks. Thanks all.

Good one, mon ami. Enjoy.

Wise words, dear Fabrizio!

I've made many decisions in my life. Important and less important. Like many others, too. I always approach important decisions in a very structured manner. What I can say with certainty: There were "right" and of course also "wrong" decisions among them....

What did you trade this for

 
 By: Cookies : February 15th, 2022-12:34
Sweet dreams are made of these.

For a 5070.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:32

Good move and much better choice

 
 By: penfriend : February 15th, 2022-12:48
I personally never felt old enough in the last 30 years to wear a Nautilus on my wrist

Hehehe! Good one, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:32

No regrets at all, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:37

I never gandered the 5712, but you picture shows it in his full glory!

As for the trade, what the hearth wants, the hearth should get!!! If it brings a smile on your face and satisfaction to your senses, you won! Financially.... big mistake;-)))) Have a lovely day my friend!

5070G was a good move

But man, this one is also so beautiful!

Merci, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:44

Me too, me too, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:45

I can only agree, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-16:45

aye aye aye! Wow Bill! Stunning!

Do you also have a photo

 
 By: MTR : February 15th, 2022-20:08
with the minute hand at 3? 😉

LOL. No!

Too thick I’d call it maturity

 
 By: toxly347 : February 15th, 2022-22:14
No charm I’d call it dementia No offence

I m not sure

 
 By: yming : February 16th, 2022-15:37
The chrono buttons kinda distorts the distinctive nautilus case shape.. and of course the date window is like a blemish on dial

This is a fantastic timepiece.

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : February 15th, 2022-19:15
But your 5070G is a spectacular timepiece! I think you made the right decision, and a 5070 is a good enough excuse to let your nautilus go!

Glad the trade worked well for you

I also prefer symmetry in the information displayed.

Gracias, Jaccard.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2022-21:58

Definitely😉👍

Hehehe... ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 16th, 2022-14:32

Nah… ;-)

 
 By: FabR : February 16th, 2022-15:48

Si si si.... ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 16th, 2022-21:47

Clearly. Thanks, mon ami.
