This is very early, but I'm about to put down a deposit on a blue 5711 :) it's going to be my first Patek! Very excited about this! The Nautilus has been on my radar for a long time , I haven't seen a 5711 on my wrist but tried on a few 5726s and it felt & looked good.

Delivery isn't going to be for over 10 months according to the AD but I don't mind waiting. Big thanks to a member here for the info that lead to the find.

The collection is becoming sport heavy so I might have to let go of one of the Rolexs ( the speedy will stay)

Thanks again for all the enabling!

Great choice for your first PP. It was the second PP I acquired. Enjoy. It's worth the wait. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424122827.079642.jpg

Congrats!!! That's a long wait....I only have to wait until May for my Aquanaut and that feels like ages!

Very nice!

Congrats in advance!

If you're going to get rid of a Rolex, I'd pick the DJ (even though it is my favorite of your 3); I think it overlaps the most with the incoming 5711. I can't imagine putting on a DJ if I had a Nautilus in the stable.

Well done!

I was going to put money down on that one too, if from Oz, but with VAT etc it doesn't work out for me here.

brandrea · 17 February 2015, 10:37 AM

Congrats in advance. I'm think a 10 month incoming is the new record

Melvin_arnold · 17 February 2015, 10:40 AM

Huge congrats, no better felling that buying a brand new PP, and having it double sealed will be the icing on the cake. Well done mate :)

5711 was my first Patek. Fantastic choice. Yup....sell the DJ. The patek will eclipse it for wrist time.

Congrats in advance, great choice, about the Rolex which might go I would keep the sub, I've had the LV and LN, both flipped, now I know that I should've gotten the non date, it's the most beautiful IMO.

You should try on a 5712 if you can, it's the closest to the 5711, I have the 5726 on strap and the 5712 which is very slightly thicker than the 5711 but the 5726 is way more thicker than my 5712, but I love both, they are incredibly comfortable, a real pleasure to wear, so much that after getting my 5712 I had a hard time to put on one of my Rolexes, the difference in comfort is HUGE between them
