    Thank you.
    Usually two camps for this reference:
    Those who love it and others who just don't get it.
    I am in the first camp!

    I'm in the middle on the 5711.
    I love the blue dial against stainless, the Genta design is brilliant. I really like watches like this and the submariner that can be used and abused.
    The overall shape is growing on me, but I'm still not quite convinced.
    I still can't reconcile the value proposition. Simple movement, simple case, simple materials = $35k?

    $35k?

    I think retail is about $24k (very hard to get though).
    Gray market 'new' maybe $28k.
    Secondary market 'used' maybe $24-$26k.

    Still a lot for a steal watch (or any watch for that matter!)...but it's a work of art. Some appreciate it for what it is and others don't.

    When one does come up, they are usually sold very quickly.

    Just saw a mint example listed by a gray dealer I trade for $28k...sold in less than 24 hours.

    The good thing is, if you buy one and don't like it, it is easily to flip for even money or limited lose.

    Hmmm, I have a pretty solid Patek connection I may have to call.

    I haven't bothered with the AD because I saw them online for $34-$35 and figured depreciation makes them $28 used.

    The ones you see advertised for $34-35K are probably sellers who do not actually have one in stock. If they get a buyer to bite at that price they then try and go find one.

    Interesting - thanks for the info. I just bought three watches, but I think I just found another one to go after - LOL.

    I saw a bit on line to day about a Roger Smith watch up for sale in London, only £115 000. Very rare to see one available.
