So how long have you or had been waiting for the call from the AD? I was told early 2018, but we shall see.

Yep, I was at the 2013-2014 NFL Wild Card Playoff Game GB V SF. -22 (w windchill) degrees during the game time. I'm from North East area and drove through a blizzard in western PA to see the game. Pretty incredible, the beer you hold in your hand automatically turns to ice within 10 mins of holding it. I had 3 layers of clothing on. It was heart breaking to lose by that field goal.

I don't know it's just something about buying the watch from an AD and having my own name on the papers. Especially with a Patek, with a Rolex I couldn't care less who's name is on the warranty card.

Agreed. I want the watch from AD first and foremost for my own credentials on the ownership papers and secondly to buy it at retail.

lapince · 18 September 2016, 01:52 AM

I was told between 6 and 10 months, but that's because from the same AD I got a 5712 and 5167R, one in June and the other I paid in advance and I need to go get it in Switzerland, without this I probably would have gotten the 2-3 year quote...

texex91 · 18 September 2016, 01:58 AM

Get one from a gray today. Why wait?

Waiting for pieces like 5711, 5712 any Aquanaut is kinda silly to me. Plenty available on the market.

Lapince it's been like a month since your 5167 has been at AD when are you picking it up?

martinr · 18 September 2016, 02:07 AM

Here's he deal about buying a 5711 from a grey even if the price is a little higher than retail. New from an AD in California inc sales tax is about 27K. That's what a new from a grey on TRF goes for so about the same.

RolexAviator · 18 September 2016, 02:32 AM

I received mine in a little over 1 month from my AD. I got extremely lucky however. I originally ordered the white dial because I didn't want to wait for years for the blue. The AD got the blue and gave me a call and naturally I took it over the white.

rollyp · 18 September 2016, 03:41 AM

Give your info to as many U.S. ADs that are willing to put your name down on 'the list', and I guarantee you'll have several calling you within 2-3 months with a blue 5711 in stock. That is, if it doesn't get discontinued!

This is exactly what I did around this time last year and had 5 become available within 3 months... and I only gave my info to a half dozen or so ADs. Avoid ADs in big cities though

martinr · 18 September 2016, 03:47 AM

Rollyp is correct and in my experience larger AD's get a couple usually around late October and November. It's been that way for a few years in California.

goog53 · 18 September 2016, 03:53 AM

People forget this watch was $26,700 plus tax before the price decrease and the watch was still selling like mad. Like Martin and Paul said buy BNIB from a grey dealer.

SMD · 18 September 2016, 03:56 AM

Call all the ADs in the US, particularly in smaller markets. You can get one in a few month if you put the work in.

It's at the AD waiting for me, but I always said I should go there end of September or beginning of October, the timing is as planned

Excellent just a few more weeks...looking forward to the incoming shots.

I'm sure you're excited.

Fire up the jet and get to Davos.

scimps · 18 September 2016, 05:27 AM

Are there any uk based trusted sellers here ?

Snow-Dweller · 18 September 2016, 05:36 AM

I put my name on the list at PP salon in Geneva 18 months ago. They said it would be about three years.

I'm very, very far from sure that I want it....but I know that one day I'll get a call and will then have about 48 hours to decide!

Sam Philip · 18 September 2016, 06:06 AM

I didn't have to wait for my 5711 and 5167. Both purchase from AD, didn't get any discount though

dchang81 · 18 September 2016, 06:27 AM

bugs me that half the time the reason you can't get one at an AD is because of grey dealers.

Exactly--we need to see some great incoming pics which I know he will provide. We can all live vicariously through Lapince's 5167--this will be great.
I cannot wait for the pics from the Apls, Davo's, back at your house in Odessa--I'm SO excited.

Don't disappoint Lapince--we all are all here for you. Let us know what the schedule is for pick up any day.

Realize you have a very busy schedule, but when will you fly to Davos to retrieve??

Will be a prelude to the 'best incoming ever on TRF' you have mentioned for June 2017.

I'm very excited

KarlS · 18 September 2016, 01:21 PM

I have now brought forward my 5207 incoming to 10 May 2017 at 11:05

Paid full in June and patiently waiting to receive it in early 2017. Hopefully my full payment don't get treated the same as $2k deposit like on Daytona C... My AD promised me that I will b the first one to receive the 5711 in their store!
