i would imagine more for a certain subset, but on the other hand you would have to be a pretty hardcore WIS to even notice the difference as im guessing the vast majority have never even seen one of either dial IRL to even compare. They probably just want a 5711 so would they pay more because of it... i doubt it. You also have to consider those who notice and those who its important to probably have good AD connections already. Any excuse to push the prices higher though is what i think it is more than anything.

Supply to greys does seem to be tightening so I imagine prices will rise and discounts will not be forthcoming, they will sit on these longer if they have to. Rolexes they get a steady supply of so they will bargain more to turn them over quicker.

At least in Asia (HK specifically) these are genuine prices and people are buying at around that price. Sellers are hardly budging when I enquire although if there’s money on the table I’m sure there’s probably a bit of wiggle room.
If you can afford it and really want it why wait? The ~USD20k premium is nothing to some people and so what if it goes down a little in the future on resale (if you ever sell). Most you can lose is probably 10k which you can lose in the stock market in volatility on one day anyway! Always a way to justify a purchase ey? |

Pristine watches in London had one, they were asking £38995, it is gone now. I have seen the new blue dial, it is only a small change to the detail but it looks significantly better to me compared to the old blue dial.

To me however, that's still about $20K too expensive. I paid far less than that for my 5990 and I have an inkling which one I would take all day, any day. |

That’s insane, I love the 5712 but 40k is just way too much IMO, same for the 5711 at 30, really happy I got both for Swiss retail before the increase, not sure I would do it now, seems too much for what it is, you can get some serious second hand watches for those prices

This is insane. The 5711 was going to be my next watch. They were selling for low 30s last I looked. Come back ready to buy and they are all $50k.....wtf!? Looks like I missed the boat.

What is going on in Newport Beach with RG? These guys have the 5711R at £68K or $89K now!!! Esp when the price of their white and blue Nautiluses are fair market.

A BNIB 5711 Blue from 2017 listed for £47000, a new high for the 5711A. I still don't know whether the grey dealers are getting those asking prices.

Will be interesting to see what happens when the 5711 is discontinued. Will we see a lot being sold to get the newer model, if there is one? |

And if there isn’t a new entry level replacement?

Grey 5711 prices seem to be the same worldwide (including HK) at around USD/CHF 50-53k

Wow. Did they not just have one for £52,500? I was under the impression they were not that hard to obtain because of the price point, but with prices like that I'm sure it'll just continue to fuel demand from flippers and speculators.
Speaking for myself, seeing these prices makes me nervous about wearing mine. I already thought it was scary wearing a watch that passed the $50K Canadian mark... now at the current exchange rates we're getting close to $100K Canadian. That's an insane amount of money on the wrist at one time. |

Wow... I guess I am putting my new 5711-1R into the bank safe for protection. LOL! That said, this kind of feel like the financial equivalent of an asset bubble. Wonder how long this can goes on.
