I felt the same way when I saw it in pics. Tried it on at my AD and it is so much better in person.

Thierry Stern has worn the 5164 while traveling. I have not seen him wear a 5712 though.

He was told to push stock on the 5164

Of the choices I will get the 5712.
I would suggest to buy a 5711 and a BLNR! I did it and couldnt be happier.

5712 + BLNR is even better ;)

Well I prefer the 5711 over the 5712, but its a good option nonetheless

locutus49 · 3 July 2015, 01:33 PM

So, what is your decision?

Oboema Sesetokoe · 3 July 2015, 05:37 PM

5712 (or 5711).

Because:
- Dial colour/design
- Comfort

Royalex · 5 July 2015, 02:40 AM

5712 for me.

TimeOnHand · 10 July 2015, 12:29 PM

They are both great! I would be equally happy with either... But still want the other...

CWIN · 10 July 2015, 03:48 PM

Both great, but if only one...

soundserious · 11 July 2015, 07:52 AM

Tough call....can certainly have both in a collection...

5164 for me, like the dial layout and the thickness is correct.

el1125 · 11 July 2015, 12:44 PM

Nautilus

Exactly my thoughts! I thought going into the AD that it was gonna be a 67, and made my decision on the 64 after comparing them on the wrist.

Patekish · 11 July 2016, 12:23 PM

Nautilus

Had a 5712-1A and saw a 5164, one is an incredible iconic design watch from the 70's, and the other is a very cool watch, but it's not a Nautilus, and IMO the coolest one of the bunch, for me you can't even compare them, the 5712 is a clear winner

manilenyo · 12 July 2016, 12:54 AM

5712 for me too.

I wore one, nicer than on pics, but didn't fall at all in love with it, for some reason I prefer the Aquanauts, both models, RG rather than SS, which is strange as on other models I will most of the time choose SS, but on these the RG appeals the most to me for some reason, but even RG I can't put them before a 5711/5712, but at the same time I love full SS watches and these are my all time favorites, so I guess it's just a tastes question, nothing more, and god if we don't love the same things...

Mauiguy · 12 July 2016, 09:49 PM

Both great choices. Go with the one that sings to you the loudest!

codecow · 13 July 2016, 12:33 AM

This should be an easy one, if you need the travel time complication 5164; otherwise 5712.

Qimchi · 13 July 2016, 01:59 AM

I don't own any but I take 5712 in a heartbeat.

The blue dial and Micro rotor are to die for.

Other plus factors for me are the moon phase, PR and the thinness of the watch.

AK797 · 13 July 2016, 03:19 AM

Love both of these, but as I have a RG Nautilus I'd go for the 5164.

Hairdude1 · 13 July 2016, 12:18 PM

5712

derekstlmo · 14 July 2016, 08:50 AM

5712 all day long

brandrea · 14 July 2016, 08:58 AM

The 5164 would be my pick. Not an owner of either reference, but I have tried both on. The 5164 checks all the boxes for me.

brmeyers · 15 July 2016, 09:12 AM

After finally seeing the 5712 in person yesterday, I would give it the edge.
But really I want them both!!

One thing I have noticed (because I am doing a lot of searching and shopping for both) is there are less 5712s in the resale market and the 5712 seems to hold its value better. 5164s take a bigger hit if you resell.

daytonaTBR · 15 July 2016, 09:43 AM

5712 without a doubt
