5712/1a

I have an opportunity to purchase a mint used 5712/1A from an Authorized Dealer for 24,900. They sold the watch new in Oct 2016. I had my heart set on a 5711, but I like this one too. Looking on Chrono24 the least expensive used on has an asking price of 29k. Thoughts, advice or concerns before purchase? Thanks.

As unique is the 5712, the 21600 bph bothers me.

Or less. Mine is a little over a month old and overall has neither gained nor lost anything. Nada. Zero. As in is exactly the same today as it was the day we set it in the AD store.

That's a killer price!

Higher beat doesn t mean better accuracy but if you want it so no prob at all.

I would be suspicious of that price - if it's legit, don't hesitate!

I did purchase the watch. The only defect I can see is a small scuff on the band where it may have rubbed on a desk. Thanks for the advice.

Lovely watch congrats!

An alarming thought...if the dealer is making money at that price, I wonder what they offered the chap that traded it back in?
