Dream Come True

Post by andy tims » Thu Feb 16, 2017 7:23 am

Picking up one of these from an AD on Saturday.

I've got a long drive, but somehow I don't expect making an early start is going to be too difficult. I just can't wait.

I'd like one too, but I am worried about reliability. Please keep us in the loop as it gets some long term wear.

My friend has had one for the last couple years and wears it a lot so it has seen a bunch of wear and tear. It does hold up well and is definitely a very capable "one watch" candidate. Congratulations!

Congrats! I love my 5711, and if I could somehow figure out how to put an invisible layer of Teflon on the bezel it could be my one and only!

Sweet! :thatshot:

I assume at that price it comes with the white glove service from the AD - aka gloved reach around with a happy ending.

While I'd love a 5711 white dial, this is another dream I'd like to come true.

Nice pickup. I just checked the price on a standard three hander..2.5x more than I though the starting price would be.
