...for the detailed description.
While the Chrono is not my taste, too large and thick (Nautilus are thin watches IMO), I like the Platinum 5711.
In fact, I like blue dials and the platinum 5711 seems "more blue" than the steel one.
The diamond indexes are a bit "bling-bling" but on a watch that will already shine and attract light with a mix of polished and brushed areas, I think it could be ok.
As far as the 40th anniversary logo is concerned, it remains to be seen in metal: the press release keeps stating that it is a "very discreet two-line anniversary citation" / "discreet recessed anniversary logo"... but in any case, they could have found some better wording/logo ... what made them think their customers need to be reminded that 1976 + 40=2016 ? A simple "40" or "1976-2016" would have been enough ... or a discreet game with the index at 40min (longer baguette, different stone color), even though it would have ruined the symmetry of the dial...
Being on the waiting list for a 5712, my only fear was that something extraordinary was announced that would distract me. Now that I know there is one that I don't like and one that I can't afford: I am relieved ;-)
BTW, there were rumors that some of the current Nautilus would be discontinued: any info on that?
