Congrats! I know the feeling, but then again I purposely bought the 5712 to be my daily driver.

I just couldn't get this dial for years and then one day it just clicked.

The dial is asymmetrical and its a basic adjustment by hand date movement (i.e not even an AC) but for some reason I have started to warm to it.


Andrea Pirlo is probably the best ambassador for this reference

That's exactly how it was for me- I don't get it, I don't like it, I don't get it, I don't like it...
suddenly- ah I see it, it's beautiful, I want one!
Pirlo does make it look cool

Great watch but I m wondering how do you like your 5167R that s a stunning piece either.

Love it as well, probably gets second choice for wearing after the 5712,I like that it is stunning but very under the radar, even for a gold watch, both are pleasures to wear and my 2 favorites, also love the AP diver but in third place. The 5711 is very cool, but it's worn less frequently...

Having jet lag, even after 20 days didn't get to thaļ time, so get up very early and go to sleep very late, getting tired tbh, so have a lot of time when everyone is sleeping but me, plus have been very excited seeing Karl's watch and getting the pics of mine, about pics you already got a pic of a nuclear physicist and her sister studying to be a biologist in Odessa, at one point I had to erase many pics and many numbers, was a little hard to justify to my wife to be. Pics of Phuket would be the sea, beach and seafood, my 2 friends here are both working like crazy on new projects, so no parties this year, last time was nuts, this time I am like Karl and the kids on the cruise, well almost
