Anyone have green 5711? Thoughts?
Seeing prices at their "lowest" on grey market, at obviously a still incredibly massive premium.. just wondering if anyone has this piece, their thoughts?
I've personally had 5726a. blue, 5711a white, 5712a (x2), 5980a white dial, 5990a grey dial, and I just love the stainless Nauts. 5711a was my favorite of the lot so far, but this would be a massive jump. I like the "discreetness" of the piece for the value, perhaps more under the radar than 5740g, and always love lightness and durability of steel personally, versus added heft which I respect lends credence to the value of a watch.. |

Yes I have a green dial. It was a gift but I don’t find it anything more special than a blue dial 5711. In fact the green dial is a bit dark and uninteresting.
I love all Nautilus and plan to buy a 5811. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's a hell of a gift.. Hard to go wrong with any Naut

Wow that’s a tough one vs the 5740. The 5740 is the sure thing and green watch is a littler riskier, both future classics no doubt. I actually might take the green 11 over the 40.
I think we got ours at about the same time and I’ve also been toying with the idea of trading it for a different one but I was thinking a solid rose gold one maybe. Anyway here’s a side by side with a friends 40 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Personally, I think I would find it difficult to drop that much on a Nautilus when there is so much competition in the same price range. Gruebel, Voutilainen, Gauthier, etc...

I have one, which was an AD purchase. I couldn't imagine paying the grey premium on it, but it's a beautiful watch which I think will always be interesting due to the very limited run. I enjoy my blue 5726 on the wrist more.

From a grey market perspective, hands down the 5740 is the choice. Save $40k while getting a PM watch that is a QP and much more dynamic/brighter dial.

This sounds more like a question of whether or not the market price has bottomed, in which case my answer is "no". |

I have not understood the appeal of 5711 green. From an aesthetics perspective I much prefer 5711 blue. And the rarity of 5711 green shouldn't be much of a factor if one wants to wear it rather than as a vehicle for storing money. I also doubt green as a dial color for watches will stand the test of time nearly as well as blue. |

I like the green well enough but the pricing are insane on those. Amazing what people will pay just for a color.
