Not sure the VC or AP would get a look in with that nautilus available to wear nice trio though.

Love the trinity.

Perhaps you should add the IWC Ingenieur 1976. Interesting read.

The SA at the local watch store and I still argue about the validity of the Bulova Genta - but this one is very hard to track down.

No offense, but this 5711 white looks fake. Among other things the first polished center link reaches too far into the case and starts too close to the bezel. The crown looks off too just like the bezel. Compare with azizu's 5712 above. This is how the first PCL is attached to the case on the real 5711 and 5712.

Had same initial reaction. Rehaut height is very non-trinity as are the hour markers.

I hope OP gets his 5711 checked though. He could have bought it from a grey dealer without realising that something is wrong. Would be a very costly mistake if it turns out to be fake.

This 5711 white is fake and a poor one at that, no need to get that confirmed. Two possibilities:

1) OP bought the watch for a few hundred bucks to check how long it'll take TRF to find out.

2) OP got ripped off from a shady dealer in the worst possible way.

I for one cannot imagine any dealer trying to sell that fake for the real thing. Curious if we will hear from OP in this thread again. LOL

No offence also, but the RO looks fake as well. The screws in the bezel don’t look right, either that or AP quality control had a really bad day. If they all came from the same place I’d get them all checked OP.

I’ve had the 5711 for years and was purchased from a reputable grey dealer. Could it be possible that you looking at a bad picture of the watch could be mistaken in your assumptions?

And the AP is not fake either. I registered the serial number for the extended warranty and was acknowledged by AP

No offence intended please accept my apologies, although the screw heads on your RO bezel do not look like Azizu’s, better pictures would help though.

Congrats on a nice trip.

There’s no harm in getting your 5711 checked. You’re right that the assumptions are being made due to an unflattering picture of the watch, but the other members’ comments are not without merit.

I sure hope that it's just bad pictures on that 26331ST ROC too.

1.) Screws look so busted, and doesn't even look like made of gold. Some screw aren't screwed flushed into the bezel, esp apparent on the screw near the 10 min markers. The other bezel screws dont look like aligned in terms of being flushed with the watch's bezel. I've never seen a RO/ROO with such issues unless 1.) worked on by a non certified watchmaker 2.) (fill in the blanks)

2.) That date disc "6" doesn't look centered. The thickness of Font looks off too. The entire date window is ???

It could be really bad pictures, but .... I have my doubts

... even the best 5711/1A fake needs a lot of work in terms of metal shaving and parts to get it 99.5% like the original. All OOTB fake has obvious tell for the 5711, but easier to tell on the blue dial due to the coloration

If you check online and look at fake 5711 I would seriously advise the OP to get it checked out.
