Current 5711 situation
What is the current waitlist (realistically) for the SS 5711 blue, if someone was willing to wait and pay retail?

I wish I knew the answer. But honestly any feedback you will get either from another member here or from an ad will be very subjective and based on personal opinion unless you have established relationship with the ad and you can trust them

Theres no straightforward answer unfortunately. A lot of factors including relationship with AD, location, future market conditions and good old fashioned luck.

The 'AD relationship' is the cause for concern here, since prior to this I have always bought vintage Rolex. What I am interested in knowing is, if I were to walk into a PP AD in the US and pay a deposit, keeping in mind the variables, what would be a ball park wait time? Is it really the 2-3 that the ADs claim or lesser/ more?

After having tried many larger market ADs, I decided recently to try all of the smaller market ADs hoping for better luck. Most of them were willing to add you to the list, some even indicating that a deposit would move you closer on the list. There were several I spoke to in the midwest that had lists of 2-4 people. I got lucky and called one on a Thursday that said they didn't have one but came back a minute later and said they were getting one next week and it was unspoken for. I ended up with it on my wrist the following Tuesday. This is one of those luck situations though I think.

I went to Tiffany’s in Houston and the one other PP AD here back in May or June. Both said that unless I had prior purchases, I won’t even be put on the waitlist.

So I’ve been looking for the 5711 blue for about 7 months now. I contacted all the ADs in the US and one told me there was a 6 month wait if I put down a small deposit so of course I jumped on it. It’s been 7 months and they have no update on when it will arrived and they offered to refund the deposit. I’m hoping I wasn’t bumped down the list by a long time customer if there’s but it seems possible. I’m still waiting for them but i also started contacting ADs again. They seem significantly less receptive to putting people on their wait lists now then they were 6 months ago. Only one dealer offered to put me on their waitlist if I gave a 50% deposit and would give me no estimated delivery date.

The attraction/hype of the 5711/1a is not due to the intrinsic characteristics of the watch (Fact)

I agree with Jorge. It's a great watch, don't get me wrong. I much prefer the 5712 due to the complication or the 5711R for the PM. With that said I have liked every Nautilus I tried on including the 5711/1A.

I've ordered a 5711 in April this year. I was quoted 18months - 2 years specifically because of my purchase history with them over the last 15 years. They volunteered the time frame without me pushing.

Now when you start to look at other models in the Nautilus range then the argument moves from one of intrinsic characteristics to comparing movements, complications etc etc. |

Back in May, I contacted some ADs via phone about acquiring a 5711 blue dial. One AD said they could get me one towards the end of the year with a deposit. I jumped all over it. Earlier this month, I checked in with the AD. FWIW, delivery is still on target towards end of year. I’m not sure how they would know, but I’m still rolling with it. The 5711s are getting even more scarcer by the day, especially blue dials, so I’m keeping my fingers crosser that I don’t have to wait much longer.

Used they are selling for about 40K. There are 23 on Chronos 24. Several are sealed. The secondary market price reflects the low allocation to ADs all over the world. I believe it would take a while to get one new from an AD if your just now asking. That is as precise as anyone can be. Some people have reported getting them immediately simply being in the right place at the right time. If you can believe those stories. If they tell you two years, I would tell them yes. That is better than a Daytona C.

One of our local San Diego members walked into the AD (in La Jolla CA) with me and put down a deposit and if I recall was told a year or less. They carry Lange and other top brands but not Rolex.
We had no past relationship, but they recognized me from past visits. Dealer is C.J. Charles. I won't mention the other TRF member as he may want to remain discreet. Great guy, though. |

Thanks! Me too! To be honest, it would be miraculous if I got one within a year of getting on the list/deposit.

I was lucky to get both the blue and white from an AD in the UK within 5 months of putting a small deposit down. I had no previous purchase history but got lucky.

i posted this separately in my own thread and am one of those that fall in the "dumb luck" category mentioned above. After being told by local ADs here in Chicago that I couldn't even get on a list, I started calling all of the smaller market ADs where perhaps the list wasn't as long. There were a few willing to add me to the list but had no sense of timing. While talking with one Midwest AD, I was told they have a 5711 coming in the next week. Needless to say I offered my credit card as fast as I could and they accepted. I received the watch in the mail the following Tuesday. I know this probably seems made-up and I wasn't expecting anything either but it can happened.

1. Have the money ready to buy on the spot. Don't mess around with deposits. 2. Be willing to spend the time to call around every AD possible. 3. Be ready to have AD's laugh at you over the phone for even asking. |

I certainly got laughed at by my fair share of ADs. I just indicated I was curious what their process and potential timing was for getting a 5711. There were 5-6 ADs in smaller markets that were willing to put me on the list, some indicating there were 4-6 people ahead. I think I made the rounds of calls to a number of ADs several times a few weeks apart.
There was only one AD in these markets I spoke to that even considered a deposit, many just didn't want the hassle of holding a significant amount of money for an indefinite period of time. |
