TRF members with a 5711 or 5167

Hi all

Wondering if anyone in Michigan has a Patek 5711 or 5167. Purchased a 5711 and would like to see in person before it arrives.

Hmm...I may if I can't find any here. Thanks for the heads up. Do you or have you had a 5711 blue? My worry is that it's "boring" relative to the 5712

I was just at the AD in MI today, they did not have a 5711, but checked out 5167, 5164, 5712, and a 5726. To me the 5712 had a lot going on on the dial.

I drop by there every so often to check inv and chat. They've had a 5711 white a few times but never the blue. Seem to have a 5167 and 5712 quite often as well. Love both of those and will end up getting one or both if I don't like the 5711...however ppl are saying that won't happen.

Great pic above Hairdude!

I reallly like it there with that deep blue. Seems like the blue varies from watch to watch and. It just depending on the angle and lighting.

I have both. If i had to keep one it would be the 5711 as i think it does smart a bit better and thus is truly versatile. However, no wrong choice ...
