A Long "A-Whited" Incoming (the wait/white is over)
The "white" is over, Finally my long awaited white 5711 incoming...
I would say definitely one of my "affordable" grail watches (relatively speaking..lol) I just love love love the look of finely polished stainless steel white luxury watches for the summer which here in Florida is most of the year. I owned the white 116520 white twice mainly because I loved that clean white look on a sports watch. It really elevates my mood and lifts my spirit more than any other dial color. I had a brief honeymoon with the 5711 blue, which I rank as one of my biggest watch mistakes for letting it go (considering I got at an AD for retail), but today I feel vindicated, because I like the look of the white even better! And it is so much nicer in person. It's hard to do justice with pictures, but I feel I captured a glimpse of its beauty with the images below. The finishing and polishing is just so sublime at how it catches and plays with light. The dial also dances and scintillates with with sun... Enjoy  Driving Home with a Grin!! 5711a.jpg 5711c.jpg 5711e.jpg 5711d.jpg 5711f.jpg |

I'm hooked! Big congratulations to you! That's hopefully my next Patek. I'm on a list, patiently waiting, although these pictures aren't helping!
Congrats again, and wear and enjoy in the best of health.

I know it's not the popular vote, but I like the white better than the blue in photos, but I still like the blue more overall ;)

If basel 2018 release a SS 5711 with THAT blue, I will move heaven and earth to get it….lol IMO 5711p/5980/1ar blue >> 5711/5980 White > 5711/5712/5980 blue I did and still do like the 5711 blue, and perhaps might get a 5712 at some point for the blue dial. I actually would love a Tiffany 5712 like you recently got. Congrats on that btw.. And the 5711 Blue is quite photogenic in pics as well. I dug this one up. 5711b.jpg Quote:

Yes, next up is very likely the new WG Daytona on rubber. But I want to see it in the flesh first… Quote:

It's a beauty to behold… My favorite SS sports white dial watch (5980 white is right there too). And such a nice summer color! Quote:

Bryant, congratulations on your new 5711A :thumbs:
I know that you have been waiting patiently for it to arrive. Superb photos, loving the first one showing not only the 5711, but also the two letters on the steering wheel.
