Owning 5970R, 5970G, 5970J , (plus 5960P for a new cult and on wait list to be "invited" to buy 5970P ::no doubt it will be a perpetual wait list going beyond the life of the model ,with most ADs quoting first years supply already spoken for even in these recessionary times.
Does anyone know the length of the waiting list for the patek umbrella? Is it correct it will only be produced for one year because of the shortage of lemania handles? Is it worth paying the grey market premium or should one save for a rainy day and wait for the AD to get stock???!!!
I find the 5711R to be a lighter watch than the Panerai 45mm black seal, and a very different weight to a rolex daytona or a 5960P. If you like weightier watches , the stainless 5711/1A with metal bracelet is probably more your taste. I found it too heavy and prefer the 5711R.
