Is This A New 5712/1R With Gem Set Bezel?

[nsguy]

I saw this 5712/1-R with diamond gem set bezel on Producer Michael's Youtube. I've never seen this before and am curious if the watch head is factory but he retrofitted a bracelet on it? What do folks think? I timestamped the video here.

Looks like aftermarket diamonds to me - I personally like the rubies and sapphire versions of the 5711 in precious metal. Not sure what the actual refs are I think maybe 5723 or so.

5711 green dial in SS with diamonds also very nice

It looks terrible.

Is that white Countach the new or vintage one? It looks like the modern one with the headlight.

That is the new countach brother, IMO a disappointing rendition of the original that was designed to be completely outrages (albeit undriveable) and still is 40 years later.

I just Googled the new Countach and I agree with you bro. The original one was on my wall when I was young and it was such a looker. It still is.

Are you guys talking cannonball run?

That watch is aftermarket…it’s a 5712R-001 with an aftermarket band, diamond bezel and diamond dial

It is a 5724R 001 with the gold strap of a 5711/1R

Horrible gem setting, definitely no where near Patek quality level. the baguettes are not even all the same size, just a sloppy job overall.

Dial is way too brown to be a 5724R-001, at least in my opinion

Time for you to get one brother, you know, for nostalgia and such

That's the 5724R 001 fitted on custom after market bracelet, the watch orginal but the bracelet is aftermarket..

[dchang81]

hopefully it's just the angles but the setting looks crooked for a factory watch

Cannot believe Lambo did that, the new one just morphs into the other line up.

As others have said, it needs to be outrageous like it was in the 70's.

Lamborghini is just run by Volkswaggen, and have to listen to the shareholders. I’m not sure you can compare their ways now and from the past. They were constantly running out of money back then, today, the books are in order, the cars run well too, just less crazy

I think the present day Lamborghini is fine as it is. People always say that “oh Lamborghini is dull now”, but like DonLee said, the company stays afloat without needing a new owner every 10 years. And the cars are fairly reliable nowadays - which is something people would want in a supercar, not one that’s is so fire prone that people would be second guessing if that’s the last time they would ever drive their car.

The only thing is shared parts! There has been so many videos about the Urus having the same parts as an Audi. That really puts a question marks in people’s mind about the aura of Lamborghini, not that it stops anyone from buying them though. But hey, cost saving and long term viability means there has to be some sacrifices along the way…

With regards to the watch, I hope the video did declare that the watch is aftermarket?

True, they all were running out of money back then, Maserati too...different times, I agree.
