I texted my guy yesterday for the green 5168.. he said he already put me on for it although his big time collector will be getting the very first one! Rightfully so since I think he spent like $2.8Mil with him

How long before anything becomes available to the general public? Any idea?

None of them. Don't have an AD relationship anymore so it's a moot point anyways! Even if I did, nothing interests me enough to open my wallet.

Yep. Was on the phone yesterday and again few hours ago for the 5168g green and 5726/1a blue. Demand is going to be high so who knows if it will be this year delivery.. Probably will buy the AD's last 5170p too

Yep. Nautilus.
And I’m really tempted by the SS Caltrava. I’ve been looking for a white/ ivory dial on brown leaver for ages.
Unless anyone has a better option?

Nothing - sick in bed and unable to take any decisions.

Green 5168 is my favorite of this release but at 42mm it is likely too big for me. Would only make an exception for the 5968 size-wise. Also like the 5726 better than expected but at this point prefer both the 5711 and the 5712.

My grail was the 5131J. When I saw the 5231 I had a chat with my AD and was told it is going to be practically impossible lol

I’m amazed people aren’t going mad for the nautilus. I must say, I think it is the best nautilus dial I have seen, and it’s in SS!

Exact same but do you think the caltrava is good value at 25... Would have been even better at sub 20 gbp

I know. That is a fair point. I struggle with ‘value’ with watches, I think we get a distorted idea of it!! The other option was a chronograph with an aftermarket brown strap, but then £50-60k!

Better than expected, dial color is great, same as the 5711 and 5712.

However, I have some issues w this AC layout, minor, but enough to not be interested. I neither like the 24h thing around the moon phase as it looks as if they just put it there for not knowing what else to put (not very useful for me), nor the supersizing of the date window at the bottom. Why can't the three date-related windows have the same letter size?

I'd go mad for it if there was a date hand around the moon phase instead of the date window and the 24h thing.

I guess in the next financial crises. I doubt any of the most wanted watches will be easily available until demand reduces significantly. It will happen, but when is very hard to predict...

Thankfully not, though I love the 5172g actually. Just not enough to put 73k there.

Meh, nothing really excites me. Maybe the 5726 but ACs just seem a hassle to me and for $50k I better be in love.

Thought I liked the green 5168 but in reality I cannot see myself running around in an army green white gold watch. This release doesn't seem to offer anything within reach that I like enough to call the AD.
