... And the case back
Great to be able to appreciate the movement with the see through case back.
Happy to report that there is no issue with the power reserve despite its mini rotor.
In all, like many 5712 owners have stated, it's a great watch that I can wear for any occasions.
My First Watch in 2011
Thanks to the many posts on 5217-1A, I decided to acquire my first Patek from my local AD. It is fresh from the box and wraps. Was so excited that I took the wrist shot, forgeting that the date and time setting is not done yet. It fits my (small) wrist ve...
Congrats, this is a captivating watch.
Which can only be appreicated in the metal. Once you see one in he metal, you're done. Enjoy! Best, Nicolas.
You've got that right ...
Having seen and felt it, I can understand why it has so many fans.
Thanks. It is in more ways than one ...
My regular AD rep knew I was looking for an elegant sports watch and just received this piece. She gave me a ring and the rest was history. So in a way this piece was waiting for me, instead of I waiting for it. It's one of those time that probably most o...
That happens...
and as they say,the watch seeks you out and it's like a match made in heaven! cheers F
Way to start the year
Now that is the way to start the year. Congratulatuions on a great catch. Best regards, George
Great watch & looks great on you
what a way to start the year! Congratulations, Andreas
I didn't expect ...
so much response from all. Thanks. Will wear it and give my view about it in due course and try to provide a couple of decent shots of the movement. The transparent caseback is one of the reasons I'm attracted to the watch. Cheers!
Congratulations and welcome.
What a great piece to start your Patek collection with. And of course the New Year.
Huge congrats! Great way to start the year!
Lovely watch and looks great on you. Best, Goh
I've been reading ...
quite a few post by fellow PP owners the problems/ defects with their new watches (some just out from factory pack, like mine). Will be closely monitoring mine.

To me it is a perfect villain's watch ...
Do not get me wrong: I like all Nautilus watches very, very much ! But the way that they are presented in the PP boutiques and also at some ADs ( with this "dark" light on the watches, that cover the watch with a very tempting shade ) makes them look a bi...
Just couldn't resist adding a wrist shot
to show how thin it is, despite its complication. This message has been edited by mell0822 on 2011-02-12 02:08:02...
yes...the nautilus is sleeve friendly slim
Looks good under a sleeve and suit...can't do tht with a ROO or a VC OS. Best, Horo
I'm glad to report that
I didn't encounter any issue with its power reserve despite the mini (gold) rotor. I've read some comments/ concerns that the mini rotor didn't seem to work well. Wore it for 8 hours today. The power reserve moved from 12 to just above 36 hours. That's go...
I am surprised.....
Did you read about any problems with the micro rotor here? Owners seem to be quite pleased... Cheers
Oh yes, there are a few comments
raised by owners of the 5712 on the mini-rotors. However, it seemed that after sending for repairs, the issue with the power reserve was satisfactorily resolved.
Mine is generating power just fine...fingers crossed!
BTW, mell0822, did you notice my post about enquiring the correct way to adjust the date and moon phase? If you have any insight, please kindly share! Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I didn't notice. Could you share your
experience? I'm sure fellow 5712 owners can help or give some pointers. Regards, Melvin This message has been edited by mell0822 on 2011-02-14 18:32:57
Thanks Melvin!
Here is the link to my confusing post of question: patek.watchprosite.com Subsequently some fellow owners have given their input, which you may notice there. If you have your own views, please kindly share...thanks!
Will update once I need to
do so end of the month. I've been wearing it quite regularly and winding it to maximum for the power reserve.
