Not that the 5980 is not a good watch, it is, but getting a 5711 and a Reverso Grande Date is a very cool option. It was the 2d Grande Date of the modern era, the first being the Septantieme. As for new releases, take your time, enjoy what you have, then ...

i would never buy a piece of art just because it could be a good investment , you must love it first, if afterwards it turns out to be a good investment then thats a bonus. i will regard my timepieces the same into the future. best darma

Congratulations Darma
