I know we all laugh when we see questions like this - which one to keep or sell but any advice would be much appreciated. I have been able to get myself a 5712 which will be coming in the next few months. So i was thinking of letting either my nautilus 38...  

Is that you will have personal answers, reflecting personal opinions, which will be very subjective. I would let go the 2 tones Nautilus, if you are on to get the 5712, to diversify your Duo. But I'm not YOU. Welcome here, by the way! Best, Nicolas

which is usual for him ;-) Cheers, -- Richard.

If I am lucky to be in your position, I'll let go the 3800 because I won't find myself wearing it anymore with 5712 in da house! Anyone has a different opinion?

because you will find these 2 watches are abit dated if compare to 5712. Good luck.

I'd let the gold one go simply because i am not a massive fan of gold. But that just tells you that in watches, personal taste is everything and nobody has a monopoly on what is "good taste" and what isnt. Go for how your heart tells you

If I had to let go of one to get the 5712, it would be the 3800. Regards, Richard.

Personally I will just keep the PP5065 and let go the PP3800. Fo some reason the latter just doesm't appeal to collectors as evidence by the popularity. Henry Hoe

I do believe the one which would be the easiest to sell is the 5065, but do you have to sell one in order to get the 5712?

... 3800 because I find a mix of gold and steel always to look a bit cheapish. The differences between the 5065 and the present 5165 are not that big and in hot days an Aquanaut is such a pleasure to wear. You could also sell both and buy back something c... 

What I do not get at the moment is the change in size that you are going through. Both present watches that you own are 38 mm and your new aquisition is a 43 mm. Have you tried one 5712 on yet? As an advise which to keep: keep rather the 5065 as a 43 mm N... 

The 5712 is in stainless steel I forgot to mention one thing, although i will be getting it in the next 2 to 4 months, i will not be wearing it for the next 20 months as it is for my 50th birthday and will only see wrist time from then on-wards.

Hi James If there are 20 Month before you will use the watch, than I would say keep all 3. Look at it this way: In 20 Month have you probably anyway bought a few more watches. And can you live with only to be able to wear one PP for the next 20 long Month... 

I may be alone on this but I think the two tone is a very dated look of a short term fad in the 1980's following the Rolex lead. I think all steel, same color gold or all plat. is the traditional and lasting way to go. So, I would sell the two tone Nautil...
