The difficulty choosing between the two is that they both look so good in photos, and they are not easy to find to try on. Trying them on though is the only way to be sure. I was a bit disappointed when I tried on the 15202, but loved the 5711.

Both are amazing, of course. But, if I truly could only wear one the rest of my life, I'd go with the design that Genta did first: 15202.
The Nautilus wouldn't exist if not for the RO, and clearly the goal was to echo the RO. There's something more "pure" about the RO origin story.

15202 + 5711 White. Hard to chose just one... If forced, I would have to keep the 5711 White (a true ivory stunner).

circling back on this thread i see it was a year ago that i posted this query. the decision was made this week. i added the 15202 to my collection.
and as luck would have it, i made the purchase from fellow forum member @tonupbklyn, who i now realize responded in this thread! thanks again to @tonupbklyn for a smooth transaction and who by all accounts is a great guy. now for the obligatory wrist shot. |

Good Luck finding a 5711 in any color... Having to choose between the two is a non-issue if you cannot even source a 5711. Most wait lists are full if not closed already. Unless you have the funds to pay on the secondary market, 5711 may be too far of a reach at this time.

Was a great price it would seem that you let it go for as well. Great deal for everyone and a forum member gets to love on it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
