This is so true!

I am currently based in the US and the AD starts with D. I don't think I would have any chance getting this in Australia.

Congratulations on a fantastic watch.

When I first started looking at the Nautilus, the common consensus here was that the 5712 was a big favorite.
Now I know why: it is the same size as the 5711 but packs so much more.

Some are put off by the asymmetry, but it makes sense given the 240 PS movement.
Look at the 5015, 5055 and 5085 and you'll see this is a truly Patek style of movement.

That is what I love so much about the 5712: even though Genta designed the 3700, I feel like the 3712 and 5712 were Pateks way of making the Nautilus a true haute horology piece.

I far prefer the 5712 to the (too plain) 5711. Congratulations.
