5712R trade for 5980/1A INCOMING

I've been wanting to do an official incoming thread since I made the choice to trade my 5712R for a 5980/1A and I can't be happier...I just love this piece because it works for wearing daily....I also love it because it flies under the radar...and those that see it and know it, LOVE IT!!!!

Funny story, I was chatting with this guy I know who was boasting about his DD40 and how he had the best of the best.... He didn't even realize I was wearing this Patek. LOL!

Congratulations on your new watch

I agree with you that it is a great watch as an "under the radar" daily watch!

Nice trade. I will say that I'm biased towards the 5712r, but I'm wearing mine right now. Nice new watch. Enjoy!

Don't get me wrong, hell I still love the 5712R, the rose gold with the moon phase is sweet, but I just felt it was to fragile to wear as a daily, and with the humidity in south Fl, plus I dress down most days... polo and shorts with sandals/ boat shoes and the 5712R was just a touch to dressy for my attire.

5980/1A is one of my favorite PP's for all of the reasons you stated. It's the only PP I have and probably the only PP I will ever have.

Congrats! Beautiful watch! I too love the 5712R as much but I understand the leather strap in FL is an issue. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I did a quick thread when I started thinking of doing the trade. Almost everyone said to do it!!! That helped push me over the cliff!!! I basically just phoned a few places and got it within 24hrs... You have to love how many Jewelry stores are between Palm Beach and Miami ....
