Thanks for the shots, Kari!
In my opinion, the watch looks much better than expected!
Te batches look bloody much better in metal than in the lousy press photos. [nt]

thx for the live pics !
loved them both from the beginning, (except the price .....) so that means i will have to sell some pieces of my collection to fund these whenever i would be able to get them but I think I would wear them a lot so that
's a good reason i guess 
Perhaps a kidney...
I think that if you love them and would also wear the watches, it's the way to go!
Best, Kari
I think i am the only one who sees that Patek is still going in the wrong direction!!! [nt]

Not sure these pieces are signifying any direction.
They stand on their own as anniversary pieces and should be appreciated as such.
Let's hope so.
I just wonder how much the fifty years anniversary watches will glitter... I hope they rather go towards complications.
Best, Kari
I only can say there is huge difference between both Paltinum watches
1. the size
2. the anniversary print
3. the diamonds
The only thing which is better is the kork Box

The size is the same
.and concerning the diamonds ... I don't like luminova so I might prefer discrete diamond baton markers
Indeed, the diamonds are very discrete
taking into account that they are diamonds.

Maybe someone did ask before me but
How does the 5711p weight feels? Heavier than what you own for example?
It feels very heavy - like it would be made of massive platinum.
It's heavier than the WG oversized chronograph. But it feel cool and good!
Best, Kari
Haha :-)
Can't wait...
Do you have an approximate delivery date ?
Whole year or two years of manufacturing?

Dear Kari.....
But the question is will you order one...? I sense your still not convinced and I assume it is the writing on the dial which although is subtle when viewed in real life is obviously still maybe an issue..?
What would you do if they put the diamonds on the regular version...!!
Yours my friend,
Andy.

If they put diamonds everywhere,
I will buy ALS & VC. But I doubt.
Perhaps I need to go for the platinum version. That would be something very different.
Best, Kari
Go for it....
I'm interested to see what comes out next Basel from Rolex for their 50th anniversary....should be interesting.

I love also some Rolex models
like Submariner and Daytona. I think Rolex represent unbeatable value for our money.
Best, Kari
I feel foolish!
previously I bashed the anniversary models from just one illustrated photo. Terrible on my behalf, your real life personal photos have inspired new respect into the models. Let us know which model you decide to buy.
I am happy if my simple photos helped you to see the watches in different light [nt]

In my humble opinion they both look nice
The diamond indices are fine and actually look good, I don't usually like diamonds. I personally don't like the 40th anniversary on the dial, even though it does not look very obvious. Just not my thing. I prefer a dial with not too much writing.
The size of the Chrono is absolutely fine on your wrist.
At the end of the day, it is a personal decision. Good luck with your decision. All the best.

Yes, same with me. Diamonds are in my book for ladies.
However, in these watches the diamonds are not obvious. And I agree, the less text on the dial, the better.
Best, Kari
Well, I think you should go for it
even if you don't warm up to them they will become more valuable with time and you can still get your money back, if not more.
They are special pieces after all. The question is whether you are going to get something that you have fallen in love with or a piece of history. What I don't know is how scratches show up on these (I have an aversion to scratches) given that they are softer metal then stainless steel and the finish is satin.
Patek service can make miracles with their cases and basically any platinum case can be
made like new.
Best, Kari
I love them
They are beautiful, especially the dark color changes on the dial. To be honest, I forgot about the date markings until it was mentioned on the posts. It just shows how subtle they are.
