Traveling again, so another “travel watch” dispatch!
Feb 08, 2020,01:34 AM
I haven’t posted in a while, it’s been a very busy month or so with some good stuff and some bad stuff. Almost at the end of it now and will be heading “home” soon.
Current travel companion is the ever versatile Nautilus. It’s hard to beat, the slim case, and the slim and (to me) extremely comfortable bracelet.
I always preferred the white dial once that became an option and in fact when the 5726 was released with the white dial that almost because my first Nautilus. I’m happy in hindsight I held off at the time as the 5711 for me is a better companion.
I would like to say that current status of this specific watch is somewhat irrelevant to me but that is no longer true. I find myself not wearing this watch much in the last three years or so as personally I feel in certain environments there is a kind of negative attention it attracts (I’m not talking about safety, rather “opinions” or assumptions which have little to do with the iconic design or history of the Nautilus).
Conversely on this trip I chose to wear it because I’m somewhere where nobody will notice it, or know what it is. So I can enjoy it in peace if you will.
