Position of the subdials/dial layout bugs me a lot. It is missing the 5712 magic.

This is something a company that buys their movements elsewhere would do.

Not something we should see from an in-house manufacture.

Agee! The old boxes always looked pretentious, designed in the day of antiques and cheap glitz to me. About time they made a different box style for each watch series but I expect it improves their margin to order thousands of the same tired design

Same. The 5712 looks good to me but this one just looks off for some reason.

Dont like the box. Looks like something off AliExpress. Will have to reserve final judgement until after i’ve held it in hand.

The new box is nice but you cannot get away from the 'normal' box. They are a classy finish to an exceptional product

Santos wins imho.

Attachment 1463161

Agree w you about the appeal of the santos.


Haven’t had a chance to follow up w Stern directly but as per Pateks new edict,
the 30m rating stated ~to be used as 100m (120)would be?

I believe the 5811 specs are for 30m as well.
