how did you get the 5712A at AD

[Micro Wrist]

Hi all
I just wondering how did you get your 5712A at AD, I have spent more than $100,000 at my AD, but seem it’s impossible to get the the 5712A or even Daytona White Dial. I live in Southern California

He sold his soul to the AD's. Some say you can find him bin diving in the back for additional thrown out Patek goodies

If you can't get a Daytona after spending over 100k, you dealt with the wrong AD.

For 5712/1A, might need to spend over 200k.

Higher of 2 equations...
(Price of desired watch x 10)/2

Or

(2ndary price of desired watch -Msrp)/20% This is the gain on the watch grossed up so that the AD makes the spread

because that's the response some AD's give people. I was told the same thing. In order to get the latest and greatest I would need to spend somewhere between 200k-300k first. And that is a quote not some number I estimated...

My point is its nonsense. If this is the response you got from your AD, you are doing it wrong and/or need to find another AD to work with. Good luck.

[dauster]

just curious, where in the world/ US are you located? Frankly not going to get an AD in Missouri or somewhere else far away, especially since most AD's value if you live locally. But obviously you are not wrong, it's definitely a crazy world.

You’re probably right. If OP’s AD is a large AD for Patek and Rolex, there are huge spenders that get preference. So 100k is not enough for the 5712.

What is the best dealer do you think in Orange County, I think we have Hype Park and Tourneau. I dont like Hing Wa Lee dealer, it seem like im begging them for a watch

I haven’t spent anything and just received a 5711/1A from London boutique after two and a half years waiting. It is not 5712 as this thread is about, but it still... Of course I was more than happy, but I could not resist to ask why some other people had to wait longer than me, with ref. to O’Leary. The answer was: “It is not always about money. You seemed to be genuine interested in the watch and I (read: the director of the boutique) think you will enjoy wearing it rather than flipping it. That’s why!”.

I really love the clean design of the 5711 on the flesh. However I think that I am going to acquire the 5712 with blue dial in the future, at least I try to. Have already made the request. They said that they had to close the list just three days after launch at Basel earlier this year. But they will see what they can do. Finger crossed.

I am sure this is true at many ADs... relationship / type of customer may trump overall spend. I was on the list for approx 1 year and while I have spent a good amount of $ over the years, I am sure there were more who spent more than me . But I am super local, have a good relationship , know a lot of the SA as well as mgr, have met the owners, and they all know my passion for watches didn’t start w the SS craze we are in the midst of. I realize I may be in the minority, and I do feel fortunate to have a wonderful AD.

I feel like the fact that I want a gold rather than an SS should clearly show I'm not a flipper. Also max I can make on the 5164r that I want is maybe all of $6k-$10k if I sell personally (with no reputation as a seller) or if I go through grey market dealer and fork over the profit share. I generally won't waste more than 5 to 10 hours of my life for $6k-$10k in profit. It just doesn't move the needle for me. This would be a different story if I bought the watch for $40k and could sell it for $140k, but I'm pretty certain that wouldn't happen.

So I can see the skepticism for SS Nautilus and maybe SS Aquanauts. Can't see skepticism for PM Aquanauts. They're not the best flips IMO.
