Yaay! Matched Ben on these pics, he kills everyone else on all his other watches, including me with the same AP we both have/had.

If purchased from an AD at MSRP the 5711R would be a consideration. Really two different watches for a fair comparison. I like the YM better and add in the cost and the 5711R does not work for me.

5711R but you realize those are impossible to find @ retail and they are going close to 100K outside of ADs?

Nothing’s impossible at retail .... and yes, well aware of gray prices. It’s not like I need it tomorrow , happy to wait a bit if it’s the one I want.

I'm on 3 years and counting...And I requested the watch in 2016, just when things were about to go "BOOM-BOOM". Although it's due very soon if Patek doesn't screw me or the AD already has it but wants to bill me the extra 4%

3-4 years would be fine though each price rise will sting! Just saw new pricing for this one.

With this rise, it has risen around £9K/$11.5 in the UK since release. I started this thread when it was released in 15 and I even wrote the price was very reasonable back then, ignorance was indeed bliss back then -

Put myself on Tiffany’s AD list this weekend. I’m expecting 3-4 years and I’m okay with that. The 5711-1r is the best to me.

I absolutely love the 5711/1r, BUT... for me it's so refined and elegant with that bracelet that in my world it's a dress watch. The RG YM on OF is more the sport watch IMO. Jump in the pool or ocean, no big deal. Pick up games with the kids or grand kids, no big deal. But would I really do those with an 11/1r on? Don't think so.

Completely different price points and utility. The 5711R is definately not subtle and whilst beautiful looking watch I wouldnt think of wearing it next to the pool!! Forget Ellerine ...Scott Disick has one 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
