Got the call for my 5712 today

Will be picking it up week after next as I’m still in Asia traveling.

Congratulations ! If you don’t mind sharing what watches did you start with before getting to this point. I really like some non popular models but also like these of course

I was very lucky to get the call a couple of months back. Right before a 3 week trip. I got the watch sized and asked the AD to keep it in their safe until I returned.

I couldn’t sleep the night before picking it up. Crazy what this thing can do to you!

Wrist shot in my avatar!

Green with envy. Congratulations and enjoy. If it gets discontinued this year, you’ll have one of the last of the run.

Thanks you all for the kindest words. Putting up a photo took longer than honorable.

I am (literally) over the moon. Very happy - more photos will follow in WRUW.

Stay healthy and happy - dreams do come true sometimes.

Much love
