New one- what next?

Finally got the 5968- really excited about it- still can’t believe it. Always wanted it, wasn’t willing to pay secondary price and then asked for it and three weeks later boom here it is.

Can get a nautilus next and trying to decide what one. Already have white 5711, otherwise I might go 5811.. So I’m thinking 5740 or 5712r. The 5740 is incredible but it’s a lot of money. The 5712r is great because well it’s a 5712 which I like but rose gold bracelet takes it up a notch and gives it that wow factor. I don’t want to regret having an opportunity to get a 5740 and look back and regret passing. But I think I’m leaning toward the 5712r at the moment.
Would love your opinions on what nautilus to get. Thx guys

The correct answer is 5740/1G.

The 5968A looks great on you. You have got the wrist for it.

I had to leave the country for this relationship. I have a Patek dealer a half a mile from my house and they never got me anything- nothing.

5740 if you have the opportunity. Tried it on at my AD last week and immediately added it to my wish list. Congrats on the chrono - looks fantastic.
