Still debating adding a 5711R or 5726... did MSRP increase when the 5711,12 SS did?

I'm currently 2nd on my AD's "locals" list to get one of these guys and not sure which one I prefer. I really wanted an Annual Calendar but the Rose Gold is just stunning. Price point is basically the same and about the most I really want to spend so if they make a combo of the rose and AC its out the budget. I know the 5711 and 5712 stainless had major price increases in the last year or so but did these two models also increase? and if so how much? not that it really matters, I just want to know how much I should be kicking myself for missing the boat on the old prices. I'm really thinking hard about going grey on one of these for the time being as I have no clue when I'll actually get the call. Part of me is considering going grey..... or just adding another rolex to the collection as I want a Rose Daytona.

I’d also tell you to just get the 5711r and be done. I’ve owned them all multiple times and the 5711r is a classic.

RG for me too obviously. I had a RG Daytona and this is much nicer.

Are you being told longer than 6 months on either of these? There was no price increase either.

They haven't quoted me a time. I've been on the "list" for a while now and called to check in the other day and was told they have several "lists". I'm number 2 on the local list but they have a VIP list as well so I don't know if number 2 means number 20.

I will go for the 5726 between the 2 choices. Not such a big fan of full bracelet colored watches.

Vs 5726? 5711-1R of course! Unless you don't like RG. Yeah, they all involve long wait times and it's only getting longer and longer. I waited almost one year for mine and I think I am already lucky. Even now, most of my PP ADs have yet to receive a single piece of 5711-1R.

5711/1R. The 5726 and 5990 just aren't the traditional Nautilus in terms of size and profile - the classic is the best!

I like both to be honest. Since you seem to be a gold man I’d probably lean 5711/1r. Prices on all other models remained flat. Only the 11a and 12a saw the 20% bump this year. Some are speculating an across the board increase this year but it’s pure speculation.

Thanks for the replies, I'm not looking for help deciding on which model as I feel I like them both equally, just wanted to know if one or the other had a price increase, which has been answered. I'm slowly leaning towards the 5726, I don't care which one is "hotter", I just wanted rose gold AND annual calendar but think I want annual calendar more. But hey whichever I get the call for first will become my preference!

I like both a lot. I think it depends on where you plan on wearing it. Where I live (Northern Cal) a gold watch with a bracelet would not be good to wear at the office or a lot of places around town.

In South Florida, no problem tho!
