The /1R question: 5712/1R or 5990/1R?

Was wondering what was the general consensus / feeling on which /1R nauti in the current lineup people would rather go for if offered the choice.

Slim & Toned Brown dial vs Bulky & Muscular Blue dial both on sexy Rose gold.

Place your bets and may the best win!

In a world (not mine ) where any of these 2 special pieces were attainable, which would be the easiest to get from AD ?

I just love the aesthetic of a thin watch on the wrist so 5712

Wonder how different the results would be if 5712r had an equally gorgeous blue dial, the blue on the 5990r is insane, but I voted 5712r because I also prefer the slimmer watch

The sleekness of the 5712 overall beats out the blue of the 5990 iMHO

very tough choice for me. I think I would go with 5990. I assume these would be offered at MSRP in this scenario.

5712R by a pretty wide margin. 5712 is such a nice dial layout, micro-rotor, and thickness.

Would be interesting to see the poll results of 5712/1r vs 5980/1r, would be very difficult to decide.
