My opinion. You really have to go for it. Nice shots of your beautiful country. My admiration for an iconic and handsome 5711p. Best wishes. Geross.

Hi Russell, it is great that the 40th P is taking a sightseeing tour !

It is very discrete (especially the baguette diamonds and inscription) and goes under the radar at all places ! Enjoy it often ! Cheers, Gordon

Thank you. I did actually pop into

Boodles in Sloane Street (not my AD) and was complimented on my 5711 1A - that's how under the radar it can go.

LOL ! Sloan street AD thought your 40th 5711 P was a 1A ! :-0

AD employees should know better ! ummm....my take is that the salesman must have been extremely jealous of your 40th and pretended your P was steel !

To be fair to him I was dripping water all over their floor at the time

ask for the discrete inscription in the cuff-links ? LOL !

I like a lot the way you wear it

I remember when it was launched, a year ago, that I was wondering in which occasions it could be worn. Behind the previous perception and opinion we have on dials with diamond markers, as I know that every trend and "image" can evolve when dealing with ae... 

Simple watch...

Thank you Mark.

 
 By: russell996 : August 1st, 2017-11:24
The piece is stunning both to look at but most importantly even more so on the wrist, the diamonds are but small accents to the dial and mostly go unnoticed. Diamonds for people who don't want diamonds.

Beautiful watch! Lovely to see it roaming around London :)

I foolishly turned it down when I was allocated one but months later my AD gave me another chance. Did not make the same mistake twice
