A badass nauti boy has been added to the family!
Just wanted to share with you my good fortune to receive the 40th anniversary 5711. For several years I had been seeking the Boutique 5711/1P without any success. Then I tried to get the 40th Anniversary 5711 when it was first announced last year. To my dismay, my AD did not get any allocation for it and by March 2017, I had given up hope. Suddenly, I received a phone call from my AD in late June that one became available and whether I still want it? YES!!!!!
The 5711/1P is even more fabulous than I imagined it to be. The dial is mesmerizing at different light angles and the blue color is perfection. The inscription on the dial is very discreet in most light conditions and the baguette markers are very stealthy too. The weight feels great on my wrist.

I think you did really well to keep on trying (you never know) and decided to take the plunge. I see that you enjoy the Nautilus line very much (as I do) and this 5711P is a great model to enjoy. Btw, is this a 5800 next to your new 5711P? It looks smalle...
The nautilus next to the p is a 5711/1a.
I posted it side by side to show the difference in the dial color and the brightness of the platinum. Thank you Mark.
Thanks for the info.
I wasn't sure as, when taking pictures from very close, just one or 2 mm distance from the lens can make a big difference of size. I indeed noticed the difference of colours. Two similar but quite very different watches Best, Mark
