Try the gray first by negotiate what you willing to spend on the 5711R.... You never know and it don't hurt to ask...... If the price is still to high then walk form the gray......

If you really want the 5711 AND plan to buy other pieces in the near future think you do the deal. The loss you incur on the other piece is probably less than the premium on the secondary and now you’re in at the store with 150K of spend.
I would absolutely make sure you get some assurances about the next couple of pieces you want and would press to let them have you put some skin in the game for the next watch. Good luck with whatever you do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Dont lose hope. Get what you want, if your wallet permits. The 11R has risen so much it'd almost be mindboggling to go with the grey prices. Get the bundle, offload one of them at cost (or attempt to) and see where it leaves you after. |

well, my story ended well, inasmuch i resisted all the sales pitches of this and that which they came forward with and finally they sold me the 5980 1R at list. for the fun of it i asked for a discount finally and they took 380 USD off the price:::)))) i found that really entertaining.

well, just as you say, we are willing to spend a lot of money (nautilus = a luxury car) on a watch, so we deserve to be treated well and not bullied into something we don't want. very similar things happened to me when buying contemporary art and i walked away more than once because of unreasonable sales pitches. i accept that the nautilus/aquanaut market is a vendor's market currently but i can live very well without nautilus model xxxx or aquanaut model yyyy. |

Well game over for me apparently. Even thou I was told pieces coming end of the month, today I found out that since I didn’t commit to 5180 they already sold to someone else and 11R never came in shipment. They aren’t expecting anything else till fall. Basically they politely told me to get back in line.

Sorry to hear that, but it really sounds like your first instincts were right. They changed the rules and then probably lied about the 5711R’s arrival. So despite a $50k prior purchase (5524R), they had no trouble blowing you off despite planning to spend another $50k (planned 5711R) with them this year with discussions of further purchases down the road. And despite the surprise bundle thrown at you, you were at least giving some thought to spending $200k if you went with the 5711R/5180 combo. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 5711R is coming in as expected, just not to you. Who knows what’s really in the safe waiting for the right opportunity to be a watch that “just came in the other day” for someone willing to play their game. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

They get an allocation list (seen it multiple times) of what they'll receive for the year of 2019. This list can change with additional pieces added to it as per request and favour from Patek.
They will receive a 5711/1R. It's just not allocated to you. I'm also sure the 5180R is still there and someone agreed to do the exact same bundle they offered you. ADs play games these days and they know a customer will always return for something else. |

Back to OP, even though many suggested to go elsewhere, but where? Patek sports line has become such a valuable commodity that with no prior purchase history or willingness to do a bundle buy, will the OP going to fare better elsewhere? |
