Thread: Nautilus: Blue or white dial?

  1. #1

    Nautilus: Blue or white dial?

    Popped into my AD yesterday - should get one in around 12 months.

    I was going to go blue dial - but tried on the white and must admit it, too, is a lovely looking watch.

    So, what's the preference on here?

    Blue



    or white?




    Sadly, I cannot afford the 5726 (TBH, I can't really afford the 5711 - but making an effort to stretch for it!), as this is my favourite in the Nautilus range:

    White. Really stands out IMO.

    Depending on your existing collection I'd go blue but the white surely is an amazing summer watch.

    I love my white dial one. Arguably the nicest white dial around. I don't have a picture of it in my phone, will post a picture later when I get a chance to snap it.

    I'd get both. That's what I did with my orient makos
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Detailing is immaculate. I enjoy looking at it everytime I wear it or take it out to wind.

    Its not a watch I'd buy but I prefer the blue!

    It'll be Blue for me for the 5711 (being the purest form) and white for the 5726.

    I suspect most will say blue but for me it was an easy choice, white

    John, it's got to be blue.

    White is ok when you have other PP's. I think you'd regret buying a white one.

    Most people will say blue but had the white been the more "rare" and sought after one not sure people will say the same thing. I have had the luxury to have both, whilst from an investment perspective the BLUE is the one to get. However the white is very striking and feels more crisp and modern. On the wrist the blue 5711 just felt very dull after a while, even though it photographed well.

    The 5726 btw is stunning and is the next Nautilus on my list!

    Reckon i prefer the white dial of the two. You tried one on in your AD ?? when i was in London recently and asked if they had any stock, it was a playful laugh and "you know the answer to that sir"

    Looks like Blue makes sense - especially as I definitely don't have the funds to buy one of each as suggested above!

    It is a stretch to buy just one - but if you don't push and stretch to get daft, overpriced objects that you obsess about, what's the point!!

    It was the AD's watch - he had it on and took it off for me to try.

    It is so much thinner than the 5726 - it really was quite surprising.

    I'm in the blue camp.

    I put my name down on the list an AD in Manchester in October.

    No massively confident on getting a call though. We'll see.

    If I did get a call Id have to let a couple of my others go to fund it but I can see the Nautilus being the ultimate keeper. It would be hard deciding what else to keep with it though. I fear whatever else I wore Id always wish I had the Nautilus on my wrist.

    I would normally always say white, but in this case I think I would go for the blue, in some ways it just appears more classy and gives more depth than the white.

    +1 from me too. The white really sings out (in a good way)

    Imagine you might get a white sooner.

    I am supposed to get a blue in October.

    The white surprised me when I saw it in person, it was very striking and not the "garage door" (sorry it was a quote ive seen bandied about for it) that I had expected.

    Blue for me - should be here within the next month or so.
    White is much easier to get - I have been offered the white version of the 5711 at two separate Patek ADs but declined.

    Nautilus: Blue or white dial?

    I was after the blue, was offered the white and am totally in love with it. It pops like... errr, a popping thing.

    Same here actually. I was after the blue then this white became available so I took it. No regrets at all.

    Blue all the way.

    So much dough for a SS watch. You're into full fat Rolex gold for that money.

    PP is special though.

    Admittedly I haven't seen either in person, but I'd definitely be going for the blue!

    You Buy a watch for YOU, not for everyone else.......

    Put on your big-boy's pants and decide for YOU.

    I think he means a full gold model, so case and bracelet.

    The 5711 has got to be blue though, not that I'd ever spend that on a SS watch.

    If I could pull off a gold watch (and not worry about the unwanted attraction) the 5711r would be the one!

    Save up more for your grail, sell you car, house, stereo and buy the one you really, really want...

    The white is beautiful but I have the blue and it is the original and has a subtlety the white lacks I think.

    Both exceptional watches and different enough to have both ha!
