Finally got the 5711 blue

Got the lovely 5711a blue dial , the wait was not long , it is a real classic .. despite
Having the 5712a ( which I love ) I think
Both compliment each other , I know some will disagree, but in reality they are two different beauties
Some photos

Congrats! Can you quantify the wait not being long? Maybe interest is slowly beginning to wane.

Actually i have a good long time relationship with the AD , the wait was 15 month , the interest in the 5711 blue is the highest in the nautilus line & growing , then the 5712a
Personally i think demand is there , but believe the grey price bubble is about to burst , as current grey prices are totally exaggerated & don’t think there is real buying at this prices , for me i love the 5711 & 5712 from the nautilus line , but would have never paid above current retail , as at this grey prices you can go for real nice complicated pieces ..
So yes chance once this price bubble burst the availability will be much more & wait period will be much less

Not bad at all! I have a good relationship with my AD as well, and I'm at about 18-24 months. I was joking about the interest waning. Looking forward to the day!

Congrats for getting this icon! I have both the 5711 blue and 5712 and they are both different but brilliant in their own ways! Enjoy both timepieces in good health!

Brilliant pictures,

Had confirmation from my AD that the next 12 months we should see mine, only a short 2+ years wait.

Keep them coming & wear in good health

Congrats, amazing watch, simple and beautiful. I have a small preference for the old dial, but that is a very minor detail.
