Unlikely 1st piece without insane luck. I’m trying pretty aggressively and I’m hearing two to three years.

which is exactly why you can't get one at an AD.
I love the watch, but it should be more polarizing than it is...orange 42mm and an aquanaut (rubber) which tends to not be of what people think of with they think of patek. The premium has way more people after it than actually like it

at this point i am not selling, i think the value will stay up anyway so i might just wait and see how it goes. i sold two watches too many already, the 5980AR and the 5712R and i do not want to make the same mistake again. btw, i have no regrets about selling the 5524G and the 5227R. anyway, if someone here wants to swap his 5740G for my 5968A, we can talk:::))) |

And yor the man with the beads, I did ask how big your wrist is, as it does look tiny, no disrespect, maybe the depth of the 5968 sits to high especially as its 11.8 I believe, maybe the thinness of the 5167 would suit,, but also might be to plain for you It's all fun and games this watch wearing business, at least you have gave it a good run Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk |

Just like everything else sports themed you have to either spend several hundred thousand with your AD or have pictures of him screwing a hooker.
If you have to ask, fat chance.

Love it on the blue and/or black strap. If I owned a 5968A, I am pretty sure the orange strap would remain mint.

A tasteful compliment to subtle styling of the Aquanaut.

The Aquanaut rubber straps flare out quite a bit and wear big, hence I have never considered the Aquanuat on strap given my 6.5 wrist.

The 5968A looks so great no one will be looking at the ratio and proportions to your wrist. It's a GREAT piece!
