Agree, the pushers are a little suspect when it comes to water sports which is one reason why I went 5711 over 5712. That said, I have been swimming, sailing, and paddling with a 60m rated IWC Mark XV for 20 years no problem. Of course any water damage there would have been on a different scale compared to getting a Patek movement soaked.

IWC seems to rate their stuff differently, heck they say their 30m watches can go in the pool. Anecdotal but my 5711 tested at 70m only after a few years. Id feel comfortable with 5712 in a pool but prob not much more than that even tho patek says surface swimming is fine.

The 5726 also has pushers and is rated 120m.
I dive (not more than 10m) with the 5712, as well as the 5740, and never had any problem. |

Wow congrats on fantastic collection of sport and dressy Pateks!
As a fellow Canadian were you able to go through the AD route or did u go grey? My experience here with AD's is that they don't have the supply to open their doors to new customers so I went grey with my first Patek. |

5811
Based on your Patek collection, you already have covered a 240 caliber, an automatic chronograph and you own two superb manual chronographs with rattrapante and perpetual calendar. Although I can understand why 5740 might be tempting, it would add another 240 with perpetual module and in my opinion 5811 would be a better complement to your collection. Not advice, just observations.

I am fortunate to have family abroad so I don’t need to deal with the Canadian ADs. You are correct that supply is limited in Canada and there are not many opportunities to start a relationship. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

5811G or 5740G
After much deliberation I decided to go with the 5740! When I tried both watches on it was tough but in the end the 5740 won out. The dial and the fact that it is a QP in such a thin case were the deciding factors. Thanks to everyone for their input and recommendations. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

based on current collection well deserving of your choice between 5811 and 5740.
congrats on your 5740 that's the one I would have gone with too!
