Incoming - - - It’s a White Christmas

Opportunity knocked. After waiting on several lists, a new AD gave me a chance at the white dial 5711/1a. I’m very grateful.












And it plays nicely with its brother.

Thanks, Alex! It was about six months. I visit this AD every time I’m in town visiting my in-laws, which is pretty often, so I’ve gotten to know them over the years. Good people! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

Thanks! I don’t see either too often, but the white even less so. I like that!

Thanks, Neil! I had and parted with the blue -11. The white seems just right and together they make a good team!

Congrats Steve what a fantastic looking watch. I personally prefer the white 11. And with the 5712 you have now arguably the best SS pair in the world. Wear it in good health and merry Christmas.

By the way I too on the wait list for the white 11 for some time now in several ADs but unfortunately no luck. Hopefully one day.
