I'd imagine its worse if its a blue one.

Here's a quick peak at my analysis:

error: 5164, is supposed to be 5164R.

Wow - not all heroes wear capes.

Truthfully, I feel that these wait times are crap. Build a good relationship and you'll get what you want. These watches are absurdly priced and we are lead to believe they are hard to obtain.

In terms of Patek, I have usually bought grey until recently. In that short term relationship, I have gotten every piece I have asked for within two months. Many rare.

Personally, I feel like it is RM- make everyone believe these are rare items and build the market!

Yep, I got a white 5711 from an AD I know well within 1 month of me enquiring. Relationship is critical.

I have started to build a relationship with an ad, Introduced by a friend who has done a lot of business with them. On the list for 5167, 5711 white and blue. Told year or less for the 5167 and couple years ish for 5711. They said everyone that asks will eventually get they watches they want just a matter of time. The problem I face now is that I am wanting to buy a Calatrava in the meantime!
