5711 blue opinion
Anyone planning for a 5711 blue this year? I am giving up on my AD and started to look at Grey options. Huge price difference but AD is not an option. I have the feeling they are also selling to grey from the back door. Anyone bought 5711 from grey?

Don’t play into the hype!
Honestly I don’t think it’s worth the asking $ on the after market; but to each its own; just my opinion though 😊 Good luck
Iconic watch, no question about this.
Unfortunately the current market has led to more polarized opinions on this watch in recent years. The design was always polarizing BUT the recent years market prices, hype and more broad commercial awareness of this watch seems to have made people’s opin...
For those like myself who have always paid through the nose for Rolex and vintage Rolex itjust fair market.
For those with AD access do it for the rest of us you pay what you your are willing to pay this is not investing it is buying for the pleasure. I know it does not sit well with most here to pay over retail but try buying vintage Daytona.
I personally think its worth the money even on grey market.
I personally find it much more wearable than all watches at the same price point, because its so thin and light and when you pay 50k at your ad, you might get complications you dont even need. So go with the 5711 and enjoy the watch. I have never bought a...
The Nautilus is a great watch 👍 If you ...
like it enough and are willing to pay a premium for it, then by all means get it on your wrist. I have purchased Patek from the secondary market previously. The process went well as I was careful in each step. Best of luck with your decision and look forw...
Interesting comments.
I believe we all have a reason why we like a certain watch. Personally I never bought any hyped watch over retail, mostly because I don’t feel that I love any watch that much, and with patience I believe you can get most hyped references if you really wan...
Mine is due towards the end of this year
and I would not buy from the grey market out of principle. For me, it is vital to be patient when waiting for a watch even if takes years as it makes securing it that much more satisfying. Imagine a hypothetical situation where everyone was patient when w...
What if it would cost euro 85k in 2022?
I’m not saying it will But I can tell you I once made a mistake with this watch About 4 years ago list was I believe close to 21k and second hand it was about 30 One of my friends wanted one but could not get it from an AD and told me he would pay the 30k...
Would not worry....
... 5711 prices have come under a lot of pressure in recent months. Many of them collecting dust at all the grey market dealers. Will be much cheaper than today in the next 12 months, I am nearly sure. Also, there were many AD deliveries of 5711 recently ...
Overrated 5711
I had one I purchased from an ad about 10 years ago. After a couple of years I tired of it and sold it. In my opinion it is the most overrated watch on the market. Many different opinions on this watch. Gl w your choice
Market price is the real price, retail doesn't mean much if the product is not really available at retail
5711 at market price is simply not for me. It might even still be a good investment, who knows? But I'm not a watch investor.
don't pay the premium
Seeing that the 5711 is on "burnt mode" now with the Hype crowd, it's more fun to find "unHyped" diamonds in the rough nowadays. The "premium" some buyers pay is to fund the supercar lifestyles of the grey market dealers. Someone's always paying for someo...
Stay on the wait list and ...
find some other pieces for the time being. There are many other great options including other Patek models. It’s not worth paying over the retail because of the hype. Just my 2 cents.
I have bought 3 Nautiluses in past few years!
Both dial colors of 5711 and a 5800 and an Aquanaut; all from AD and at a discount; this was few years ago. Sold them all eventually; never really liked the style. I think it’s the most overhyped model in recent years with essentially a feeding frenzy goi...
I agree with you what you said. This trend is insane and without logic.
If one is out for a steel high end sports watch, there are so many good options from VC, AP, Breguet and now ALS that this trend is bound to reverse soon.
It’s your money...
Really depends what you’re in it for. To own the hot thing and flash it on InstaSnapKikTwitFace? To have a piece of wrist jewellery that says “check me out, either I bought this a while ago before it was super cool making me a dude who was ahead of the cu...
