Saying that I must thanks Takuya, Ken HL65, Mike Kilyung, Chris Cwin, and Mike Goog53 These fine gents answered questions and one would say enable! Without further hesitation! Here is my 5711 my first Patek!!! Thanks again all!!!

HUGE CONGRATS, it's a great piece for a first Patek, I remember when I got my 5712 9 months ago, it's always something special to get your first Patek, just like your first Rolex, it's the 2 watches which were the most special for me to get, my sub C date and my Patek were stone marks in my horological journey, you're gonna love it I'm sure, your banker and wife/girlfriend maybe less
 And once you're on the Patek side there's no going back

 Did you tell her that it was one of the more "affordable" Pateks, if the word affordable qualifies for any of the Patek pieces, and that there's a whole lot more, I saw, held, wore a few Royal Oaks at dealers, skeleton and 15400, to be honest the difference in quality feel between a RO and a Nautilus, 5711 or 5712 since they're almost the same and closest to the original Nautilus, is just enormous IMO, AP is a very good brand but for me, watch beginner, PP is a world apart from AP, though I found the ceramic diver very well made, not for me but nice watch, anyways I think when you arrive at Patek you go Patek and Rolex very often, that's where I am now and I saw many others here also have these 2 brands … So there's a whole lot of Pateks to go from here, hoping to get a second one myself, don't know when though, maybe when I figure how to get my banker to give me a few K's

Welcome to the club Alex! You captured a great shot of the stunning blue dial. Everytime I wear mine it puts a smile on my face. Wear in good health! Now we need to find a way to convince our ladies into letting us get 5070Ps. LOL!
