I changed my mind on the 12... I’ve realized I like the plain 11

I used to want the 5980 more than the others. I still like it, but I would now opt for the slimmer profile of the 5711.

So not a fair poll then, as the 5740g/ and 40th models have the bluest blue?

12 and the blue 26 for me...... It's the perfect complement if looking for a pair imo. If just one it'd be either 12 or 11 with nod toward 12 for me.

I chose the 5712 over the 11 and am content w my choice. 5726 is nice but a little bulky on my wrist.

Wow, now the wonky asymmetrical 12 beats the 11, was never even close before.

I am surprised the 12 isn't the clear winner as it appeared to have pulled ahead in terms of the love it has been getting. Felt like more wrist shots and incoming posts by proud owners of the 12 than of the 11 over the last 12 months.

Secondary prices under pressure may help the 11 as people tend to come back to the one closer to the original in times of uncertainty...

Anyway I went 11 in a close race w the 12 a few years ago. Not interested in the other two, no fatty Nautilus in my house!

I voted for the 5980.

I don't like the 5711 in steel (different story in rose gold) because the dial is a bit dull.

And I am not a huge fan of the 5712 because of this disorder feeling on the dial.

The 5726 is a strong contender to the 5980. However, I prefer the wrist presence and the deepness of the dial of the latter.

Def swing in favour of the 5712 and 5164 over their simpler brothers in the last couple of years here. Not translated to the 26 yet.
