Not me. :) But that's the market / the general appeal, so I get it.

That's why the premiums on 5711's are a higher % than other premiums.

That said, due to the impending cancellation of the 5980/1R, it's commanding an insane premium on the secondary market. Word on the street is that it'll be replaced with a 5990/1R.
My knickers are vibrating of the thought of a 5990/1R. I'll scream down the phone to my AD to get me that.

I also want the 1A, but that's sure as !@$% impossible nowadays. The 1R's price range leaves some people behind that will have to decline it. Also in an economic downturn (hoping here!), it would mean less people would seek this watch out.
