So much love for the 5711 and the magical blue dial, so good luck with your decision!

That is a good looking 5296. My AD has a G that he will sell me at 23% off retail. Either that or I will get a 5227.

If you can get the same discount on the 5227 it's a no-brainer. But that's a great price on the 5296.

It does look on that strap, and definitely makes it that bit more casual.

I've actually got my name on the list for a 5711 but I haven't tried the blue yet (only the white) so we'll see when it comes, which is around about Dec!

He will do a 23% on a 5227 but it's taking forever to get one in.

That's what I heard too, I think the decision is pretty much made. Roll on dec!

Got rid of the Speedy and replaced it with this:

I tried on a few patek models yesterday and I've ruled out the 5196g, just too slim and not versatile enough for me. I loved the 5396g but I would only get that if I traded in one of my current Pateks and I don't want to do that.

I think I've got it down to the 5296g or 5711. As much as I used to like the sector dial 5296 I'm not as keen as I was so I think it will be the original dial. I had always ruled out the 5711 as I have the 5167 and I don't want something so similar however I do like the fact that it can be dressed up or down.
Thoughts and opinions please.

Looks good as it is !

Thank you but the Patek bug got me

Thank you, I'm very pleased with it. Such a comfortable wear and amazing dial to gaze into.

I will but my Aquanaut is away at the moment getting the sticking date fixed. Hopefully it'll be home again for Christmas

You already have an AC, don't want Chrono, don't want rose gold and perpetual is out of budget. I guess you have little options left, I would say either a 5712/1a, 5726 or the AP 15202. I would say no to your Calatrava options.

I went for the 5711, you're right the Calatrava would have been the wrong decision.

Congrats! You made the right choice...such a beautiful watch.
I read this whole thread and you should feel accomplished for taking a good amount of time to research before pulling the trigger.
Enjoy it in good health!

[goog53]

Excellent Choice and goes perfect with your collection. Also, Very cool to follow up on this thread. Waiting for Pateks to come in is not easy

Thank you, I really think the wait has made it even more special.

Well don't know why but I could have bet my left eye on that Bas

[lapince]

Huge congrats you really made the right choice, and I really mean it 100%

And yes the wait always makes it more special, that's sure...

[Racerdj]

Great collection! I'm glad your problem is fixed!

[subtona]

Congrats.
Very similar collections of 5

Swapping out Patek complications and
My Exp II Polar is absent from shot. (Vs your Pepsi)

Very interesting to be on such a similar road:)
