My all-time favorite

this is a phenomenal piece. Regrettably I let mine go to as I felt the 5712/1A was better suited to my lifestyle and 2 blue dialed Nauties seemed superfluous. But every time I see pics of the blue 5980 I miss it dearly. So much character and modern interp...

It is a impressive elegant and sporty version of the Nautilus and has something very special compared to the slimmer ones. Wear it well! Cheers, Mark
