So what a great way to ruin what is already a classic work of art , It will make your 5711 lose at least 20 grand in value - nuts imo :-))

If you're talking $20K off of MSRP of, call it, $35K I agree with you.

Speaking as an owner of a 5711 and a traditionalist in most ways, I wanted to hate it. But kind of like it - Maybe.

As a lover of openwork watches - they lost me with the bezel on this one.

i think it's really cool. Maybe not exactly for me but a neat thing to see and helps to imagine other possibilities.

Reminds me of custom HDs back in the day. I appreciated many more of them than I actually liked, and liked many more of them than I would have actually bought.

Top notch craftsmanship, I'm just not a fan of the forged carbon bezel.

Regardless, the only person who has to like it is the one who commissioned and paid for it!

It’s a no from me. Maybe if you have zillionaire money you might get a kick out of it after you’ve bought everything already

Prefer the original with its mass appeal and ever rising value
