Paid a deposit for the 5712 back in September, I was told the watch will arrive in spring.

Today got the email that it is here and I can pick it up anytime.

So far fantastic news, the only sour point is that it is only 2 weeks after the price increase. The difference is about 6k but it feels bad as I think that patek was holding the watch until the increase is in effect.

I will not miss the opportunity and will buy the watch as it is my absolute favorite. Will post some photos as soon as I get my hands on it.

Congratulations!!!

Your post gives me hope that one will arrive for me soon! Yeah it's 6K more now, but such is life!

Yes, there is hope, as long as you have relations with a good dealer that are willing to help.

Congrats. The dealer should give you a discount to offset some of the price increases. After all you placed the order last year.

tyler1980 · 17 March 2018, 02:15 AM

congrats. Its a great watch

Do it! You won’t regret!

Busyboy · 17 March 2018, 03:55 AM

Know the feeling... Bitter sweet

Still - although you have paid 6000 more, there's still probably the same "profitability" in the purchase, all works out evens really, just on an elevated platform

Don't let what never happened and wasn't offered spoil what is happening and what has Been offered

Congrats! I was lucky enough to have received my 5711 in January!

They said Spring so they were right on, don't feel paranoid and go get it. By some measures its still winter.

sensui · 17 March 2018, 04:47 AM

Once it's on your wrist, these thoughts will dissipate I'm sure. Congrats.

Vipes · 17 March 2018, 04:48 AM

Big congrats and smart move

nyc2la · 17 March 2018, 04:50 AM

Congrats! It’s a fantastic watch that will bring you many years of enjoyment.

Helmi · 17 March 2018, 05:35 AM

Thank you all, I am now in the wait period as the watch is in USA and I am in middle east. Somehow I will find a way to get her

sarey · 17 March 2018, 07:54 AM

Don't forget... you got it before the next increase so your a "winner winner chicken dinner"

Hairdude1 · 17 March 2018, 08:10 AM

Congrats. Technically your still only paying MSRP

RussW · 17 March 2018, 08:50 AM

Yeah, that’s not great timing. But you’ll love it nonetheless, and long term it’s money well spent.

incontrol · 17 March 2018, 10:29 AM

Congrats! Very nice watch, one of my favorites. The price increase is annoying but at least you will not be paying grey prices.
