Surprising Friday incoming...
I put my name down for this a while back and the call on Thursday afternoon took me a little by surprise. Still, I wasn't going to let that get in the way so in I went today to pick it up.

As always my AD rocked it and provided the touch paper for the evening - a bottle of decent champs and, even more awesomely, a NOS Patek branded Graf Von Faber Castel pen which is gorgeous.

Enjoy
It's got the benefit of being the new toy right now so tough to say. The 5711 is the more conventionally good looking watch but the asymmetry of the 5712 is strangely compelling.
