Icon14 New year gift brand new 5811g!!! Paired with 5196r
So I’ve got a chance to get the brand new 5811g in Shanghai on 1/1!
The new clasp and the micro adjustable link are wonderful features come with the watch. Also prefer the vibrant and photogenic blue dial over 5711(I owned the 5711 and still love it!). Great watch and this is my current daily.
Hope you guys will love it.

Thank you! The watch feels just as good as 5711 and it won’t wear bigger. Personally I prefer the weight of 5811 on my wrist. For some reason it seams thinner than 5811.

It’s thinner than the 5711 due to the 2 part case construction. 8.3 => 8.2mm

Don’t think they are the same. From my experience, the blue on 5811 is much more vibrant and bright than on the 5711. The 5711 dial appears to be grey under different lighting condition while the on 5811 appears to be just different blue(changing from bright blue to navy/dark blue, no grey color blended in it).

What an awesome duo. Damn the 5196 is a clean watch, and makes a perfect 2 Patek combo.
