Went for it!
I had been looking at the 5726 as some of you may have noticed from my recent thread, went to the AD today to place the deposit for it and he showed me the 5712G he had hidden away.
This was a watch I'd written off as too slim for me and was unsure about the asymmetric dial. However when I put the watch on my wrist the proportions looked great, actually much better than the 5980 I also tried. Not to mention it was in white gold and the lack of AC was not a problem since I already own a 5205. I think the dial is very nice in person, the asymmetry gives it a technical look, and the slate dial is very reactive to light changes and is very interesting. The case is a work of art! I absolutely love I went home and picked up my fiancée to come and take a look, she told me to definitely go for it. So I did and here we are now a half an hour later back home as the very proud owner of a 5712G and 5205R! I have had them put the 5712 on the composite waterproof strap and I think it just looks so good. I really think this is the perfect 2 watch combo for me. |

What a stunner the Rose Gold model is Jorge! And what a great combo. A Complicated + a Nautilus is a wonderful thing I think.

Outstanding pair! Congrats
I generally prefer straps to bracelets on my watches, but I think that bad boy deserves the bracelet in this case. |
