I hated the 5990 when it first launched.... recently got to spend lots of time with it on wrist sized to me.... I have to say I love it in person.. At first I thought the pushers were at a bizarre angle. Then I thought the date at 12 o'clock was kind of ugly and just weird... but in person it all came together and wore like a brick... I kind of love it... worth going after or stick to a 5164 and 5980...

RussW · 1 August 2018, 04:21 AM

I prefer it to the 5980.

GB-man · 1 August 2018, 04:22 AM

I’d entertain moving the 5980 for it but would be tempted to hold the 5164 personally because I just like that one too much

5990 is my favorite Nautilus these days!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it is a fantastic piece; proceed without hestitation!

Funny enough the thick Nautilus don't do anything to me, I only find myself liking the thin ones, the limit being the 5726 which I also like, but thicker than that and I find it looses it's charm, it's great some like it, just not for me...

Keep 5164

AK797 · 1 August 2018, 05:31 AM

Keep the 64 as the guys wisely say.

Helmi · 1 August 2018, 05:49 AM

Moving both 5980 and 5164 for 5990 sounds like too much loss for me. But if only moving the 5980 it may be more reasonable

Protour2003 · 1 August 2018, 05:59 AM

I would assume just from a financial standpoint, the 5990 would be an even swap for the 5980. They both seem to be trading for roughly the same on the secondary market. If you can get the 5990 @ list and sell the 5980 for a premium, you should be ahead of the game.

I’d keep the 5164 and 5980, you get both complications when you need them and rubber strap optionality. I also prefer the 5980 to the 5990, but all that said, for one watch the 5990 is a great one.

I would have to agree with those who chose the 5990 over the 5980 and 5164 as it’s just an awesome piece.

However, I wouldn’t trade a 5980 and a 5164 for a 5990 as you would be taking a serious loss.

Here’s my 5990...

5990 is my favorite watch

HauteHorlogerie · 1 August 2018, 11:06 PM

After sleeping on it.. the hope is to add a 5990 and not lose anything haha.

kuota_kalibur · 2 August 2018, 12:31 AM

But dont sell 5164 and 5980. LOL.

Sounds like the right idea

watchucallit · 2 August 2018, 01:03 AM

I have the 5164 and 5990. When i travel especially overseas I tend to take the 5164 more often. I like both and at one point almost parted with the 5990. Glad I did not. I do wear the 5990 but generally more when i am in town so may not use the GMT function on it. Maybe next trip overseas will go with the 5990

runner9 · 2 August 2018, 05:16 AM

I just love the 5980 looking forward to owning one.
