Congratulations, I'm fond of the thin Nautilus line-up. I hope you'll get there too.

It's really a superb watch and the 5811 may be the best iteration yet.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! This wears really well, and the micro adjust is very well designed.

Very nice, sir

What was your opinion on the Nautilus before purchasing?

This is what I would do...new ref in white gold w/the micro adjust. Looks more elegant than the 5740g to me.

Thanks! Wasn’t a fan. I’ve always preferred the Royal Oak, but it grew on me. Ironically, one in white gold was a plus to me, while I know others prefer a sport watch in steel.

I have other perpetuals, and don’t think I’d want one in a Nautilus case. I feel the same way about the Royal Oak perpetuals. Just not my cup of tea.
