I like every Nautilus, but the 5712 is my personal favorite.
Aug 04, 2021,05:32 AM
The 5712 is flawed, that micro-rotor 240 caliber is really special and cool. But the micro rotor is SO NOT EFFICIENT at winding. Sometimes I'll walk 10,000+ steps a day and the power reserve didn't build at all! The 5711 with a blue face is great, but the white date disc does clash with the rest of the dial (although that clash wouldn't stop me from getting one). The 5980 is really cool, but personally I prefer the 5960, but that's just me. And some people don't like the layout of the 5712. It's not as symmetrical as the other layouts, it's a little strange to some individuals. The unusual layout of the 5712 doesn't bother me though. I kind of like it.

That watch is classified in my mind as “mindblowingly elegant and beautiful and rather unobtanium”. An AD used this piece as ransom to me. He said “we have the moonphase nautilus in our safe now. You can buy it sure, but we only sell it to customers who s...
Yes they had it

But spending 80k on pieces in their shop, as a qualifying for that Nautilus, is quite a hard sell technique. Furthermore, they bullshitted that they could get the green piece in 2 years, when that piece is only produced for a year, as mentioned by a forum...
To clarify, did AD want you to spend

US$80k buying other Pateks (say a perpetual calendar that was available), then you could buy the 5726A-014 at the same time at retail price ?

Yes, it is a Patek AD, the only one in that country. They only sell Patek. I was asked to spend 80k usd on other pateks they currently have on inventory, so I can be entitled to that moonphase nautilus. Is this a standard practice? If you want to verify t...

I’m thankful u did not request me to screenshot the entire message log to send you. I can, but it is in my partner’s phone. I cannot speak or write Vietnamese, and therefore she helped me contact them. To ask her for a screenshot is possible, but she will...
Thanks G

Wish you a good day. I’ll get a Patek another day when it is fated.
Yes

80k on the same day, for any model they have at the store, and they will instantly sell me the moonphase nautilus at slightly above retail price.
Well....

I'm not surprised at Hanoi AD's offers as this is the standard practice for the last 3-4 years in ALL the ADs around here (Bangkok). This also isn't exclusive for PP, but also other "hot brands", using these "hot models" to sell hard to move pieces. Some ...
Well said

Loads of rich Thais. When I was in Thailand, I recall the bling is blinger there in Bangkok.
lol
By: Kid : August 6th, 2021-14:22
Well, depends on where you visit in Bangkok/Thailand and bling doesn't equal to rich. But whether what your wealth level is, it's frustrating to be a watch lover here, with all ADs like that and you can't buy anything without premium or bundled. Though I ...
Maybe Singapore

When the pandemic clears. It’s quite bad in Australia too. I cannot get any Rolex/AP/FPJ I like. But somehow the other brands are ok here. I heard Rolex is easier to get in Hanoi.

I like your Nautilus as it is very clear and balanced. ...
Many thanks.

It’s also not my least favorite. 👍
Many thanks, Raymond.

I’m indeed quite happy with my relationship with my AD and PP at the moment. Stay tuned for more. 😉
I did choose the 5726 over the 5712
By: Darron : August 4th, 2021-07:16
While I loved all of the 12’s uniqueness in the dial and it’s thinness like the 11, I went for the symmetric dial and the date aperture vs, the sub dial date in the 12. If I could I should have both as they are different enough and wear totally different ...

Nice watch if it’s your sort of thing but I know the owner is a thoroughly decent chap who’s passion for Horology is deep and for me it’s about the people you meet. Keep up the great photography V. M.
Superb Volker.
