I also love the 5712 Nautilus, tried them several times.
What keeps me off is
1. The bezel is a scratch magnet and would drive me as crazy as a Royal Oak Steel bezel
2. The 240 movement is pretty, but there is one Micro-Rotor Movement which is superior: Lange!!!
If i ever spend Nautilus money on a watch, it will be a Datograph.

Well its out of my league (unless I flogged 4 watches) but will def try one on when next over to see if its a Internet thing or real love :x !!!!!
I guess its up there with the Daytona when it comes to bezel scratches!!
What do you make of the bracelet? I see some people call it "flimsy"
Our local Rolex dealership ,has in its window ,a display of the Tudor brand watches .There is a poster promoting these fine watches
with a frogman on it ,and every time I see it ,I always think of Buster Crabb , is it meant to be him ?
I saw this outside Sotheby's in the Middle East last week and thought I'd share it with you - struck me as the kind of Rolex which Bond would have worn a few years back. -{

Out of my league since crazy money but lately I've become very attracted to this 5712 (the 5711 is a bit plain jane for me)
Might have to try one in the summer when back in London
Photo nicked from google BTW

Blue dial 5711 still my favourite, followed by the grey dial 5726. Lovely movement in the 5712, but the asymmetry of the dial puts me off.
Will I ever get a 5711?......a tough call, when already owning an AP 15202. But the 5711 definitely has a more comfortable bracelet.

Not too keen on that AP!!
The 5726 would be the perfect one for my eyes if the dial was in blue (believe only in TT). The Chrono is nice but wow - ££££
From the top off my head , it's by far the best metal bracelet that money can buy!

But yes, it is a lot thinner and more delicate than an Oyster, but not flimsy.
Oh well will see for myself - I guess these are all readily about in ADs around London to see except the in demand 5711??
:v but if you'll need a new one from Patek, you'll pay Rolex money.
I don't speak of Rolex BRACELET money, it's Rolex WATCH Money

I guess the Aquanaut rubber strap is prob more then a Rolex bracelet too
I'm not sure the 5712 is readily available, but you're more likely to find one than a blue dial 5711.
Which size NATO did you get for your PO? And is it a 42 or 45mm PO? It looks great and I'm thinking of getting one for my 42mm PO.
Thanks.

Very disappointed to see it was not signed by Gert Frobe or Harold Sakata!
None the less it is still a real bargain as that has to be an original 64 quad signed by the Great Man himself?
"All books sighed." No doubt. If anyone is stupid enough to bid on it, they should be sighing.

May be a surprise for you all, but I have a weak spot for strong colors
I've always liked the orange POs more than the traditional combo, cheers, AA {[]
