Soon.... :) I have yet to get the watch sized as there was an event at the PP Boutique yesterday. It was the unveiling of the Basel 2017 models with the GM of Patek Philippe Singapore and COO of Cortina Watch (the AD managing the PP Boutique in Singapore) being the hosts of the event!

Not to worry though, the Mark XVIII will still get its turn every week (at least 2/3 days) as I cannot bear to wear the Nautilus at the moment hahaha. The Tudor BB Blue will continue to have its turn every weekend and it has become my tool watch having been worn for almost 2.5 years now.

My attempt to keep this thread going. Going on 1 week my 1st IWC and very pleased so far. The bracelet is top notch. Sorry for the sideway photo.

Congrats on the new acquisition. You will definitely love it even more as time passes!

The blue dial is even more obvious in your photo.

I also changed the strap to the original bstrap that was offered for the black dial about a month ago and it is certainly becoming easier to wear, conpared to the deployant clasp that I have been wearing for the past 11 months.

Now, having bought the Nautilus 5711 in white dial yesterday, it will be present an interesting choice for me in terms of watch rotation!

Congratulations on your new 5711 in white dial! The Mark XVIII Petit Prince and the 5711/1A is a perfect combo

Thank you

So now, I have three watches in my rotation: Tudor BB Blue, Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince (Blue Dial) , and a Nautilus 5711/1A White Dial.

Interesting times ahead and I think I am done with the purchase of watches for the time being, until maybe if the 5711/1A Blue Dial is available

Thanks! This thread certainly has some influence in moving forward. I saw the the stunning white dual version in one of the chain stores which started this.

I keep coming back to this thread.....

At the time I was seriously considering one of these, I thought it a real shame that the blue dial wasn't available with the bracelet.

Now I see that it is.....

Great watch. I just picked up one myself. The OEM brown Santoni strap is sweet too!

Congratulations! This watch seems to be getting attention in the past 1 year or so since it was launched!

I actually prefer the black strap originally fitted for the black-dial to the Brown Santoni strap for the Le Petit Prince model. So, when I purchased the watch, I asked the boutique to replace it for me. The boutique also gave an additional strap with the deployant clasp that I have wore for almost a year; before I replaced it with the black strap last month.
