Did you get the OG or the 40th? Either way you lucky dog that’s a killer piece
unfortunately I only have the 40th but I am waiting on two friends to sell me their OG clean dials

Looking back...those that thought it was too expensive and not worth the premium must be kicking themselves right about now...

I’d be happy with the 40th all the same my friend. Plus you get the cooler box

Such is life. If your regrets are just watches you’re doing very very well

Yeah, it was too much for me! A fellow collector in the area I know picked one up, hoping to see his one of these days.

I don't know much about this subject but it seems like it would be a lot easier, if you want to have a really unusual Nautilus, to just buy a 3711 and have the black dial white gold version, than to petition Patek to allow you to order a platinum 5711. And you could have it next week instead of three years from now.

Ha! Smart man. Or best decision of all if you ask me is to buy a proper 3700

i LOVE the 5711p. Great under the radar watch. Wish i picked one up before the Nautilus craze became insane.
