Which Nautilus wears the largest?

Hi all,

I've been looking at the Nautilus as of recent and have a question for those in the know.

Which Nautilus "wears" the largest? I ask because trying all of them isn't a feasible exercise for me.

My preferred models are the 5712, 5726 or 5980.

Thanks.

The 5976 wears the largest. The rest wear about the same, except for the thickness.

I've seen all models live except the 5711P. 5976 is the largest I've seen

Thanks Gents.

5976 vs 3700. 5976 is a monster.

For the big boy wrists.

Still tiny compared to some of our old Breitlings.

I still have a yellow Seawolf and have just bought a yellow strap, a real makes you smile summer watch. Wish it was 2mm smaller to be fair.

Btw OP. Given u already went after the 11-03 I don’t see the need to get a bigger nautilus. The 11-03 should fill the spot a large nautilus? I don’t see how a 11-03 in NTPT does not fill that spot. I personally believe that is a better watch than all the larger nautilus

Good point. Didn't think of it like that. I thought the NTPT 11-03s would scratch my itch. I'm still itchy.

I really love the look of the 5726 with the blue dial. So balanced.

I also like the 5980 (again with the blue dial).

Any chance the 5990 will be released with a blue dial?
