which nautilus chrono?

[pam66]

friends,
i am again thinking of getting a nautilus chrono and essentially the choice comes down to 5980AR (the gold/steel nautilus) or the 5980R-001 (red gold case on croc leather). pics of both watches are attached. the AR has the beautiful blue dial but may be considered a bit retro for the bi-color case and bracelet while the R-001 model has a full gold case but it is overall rather similar to my 5712R....which one would you go for, as a nice piece to stay in my collection for possibly long without getting hit by a lot of depreciation?
i should add that i have excluded the 5980/1R-001 (full gold case and bracelet) since i already have a 5711R.
