aside from resellers, i very rarely (never!) see actual owners selling theirs.
i guess it's a model that most owners won't let go.

bad for me

but i'd imagine i'd be the same.

Bit5711 · 13 July 2018, 06:00 AM

Me,neither. I don't see it much anywhere, i see the brand new one though.

tyler1980 · 13 July 2018, 06:07 AM

i don't think they make that many at all. just a guess though. Plus it hasn't really been flippable for very long so that could change.

Its a great value and a beautiful watch at retail currently though vs the crazy SS prices.

AK797 · 13 July 2018, 09:17 AM

Have you still not found one? I suppose it makes sense as the resales are climbing pretty fast now so must be few about.

no...neither at an AD or from a current owner looking to relieve theirs.
only resellers, whose prices i will not touch.

The market for 5711 in SS is much bigger than 5711-1R as I think most people will opt for SS and also SS version has been around for much longer. Be patient and wait and one will eventually surface. Alternatively, see if one of your ADs can put you on their waiting list. I waited almost one year for mine.

That said, for sure I am not selling mine anytime soon.

To me the 5711-R is undoubtedly the most beautiful nautilus. However pulling off full rose gold is tough - it might be ok with a long sleeve but most professional environments its tough. I've had one since March and it gets very little wrist time as a result.

Man what a difference a few months makes. Found 3 brand new back in November or December. Two from ADs, one from Takuya. Got one for myself; facilitated a buy of the other for a friend. All three were about 6% under retail.

Try a couple of years, in a few months if prices keep rising as they are, I stand to be looking at a 100% rise on this RG piece, and I went in thinking after getting a very good discount I might only take a 20% loss.

Sorry dude.

sameer222 · 14 July 2018, 10:39 PM

It's a piece that tugs at the heartstrings, and difficult to part with, for me anyway. I was lucky to pick mine up shortly before the 20% rise on the steel variant (which had a knock on effect on 5711R prices)

The rose gold and brown gradient dial combination is hands down one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. If only I could pull off rose gold... Which I can't... Have tried... Didn't work out...

tng11 · 15 July 2018, 12:58 AM

I remember walking into Razny in Chicago on Christmas Eve 2017 and there was one of these sitting in the case. I loved it, but I don't think I can pull off full RG on a bracelet. Oh, how times have changed!

I remember seeing a 5712/1a in the window at wempe manhattan

I didn’t even try it on.

That was circa 2014.

I heard this phrase in TRF often. "Can't pull off full RG". What you mean? Too bling? Or it makes you self-conscious wearing a full gold watch?

Actually, can just wear it under a jacket or sleeve so it's not too showy and avoid unwanted attention. I love full gold bracelet watches as I got three.

I am too self-conscious to wear a RG watch, and I'm often too self-conscious to even wear any Rolex. But maybe that's a function of being a relative junior (and young) in my profession, and being a working stiff in one of the large office towers in my city and I try my best to not stand out for anything I'm wearing.

Ultimately if a watch makes you feel uncomfortable then it isn’t the right watch.

I think if you're under 40 and work in a conservative profession; full rose gold without a cuff is tough to pull off.

SW1 · 15 July 2018, 02:47 PM

I love the RG but i couldnt wear it as i prefer more understated watch and hence prefer more boring white metals.i did iwn an 116655 for a period...i think its also cultural with some nationalities / markets prefer RG and i guess others WG....it may also be a fashion...YG has come and gone....maybe we going into a RG resurgence

RG has been on trend for a few years now, certainly most HH brands prefer it to YG these days.

Maybe try getting some tats and then some other nice gold bracelets along side. That's the younger approach to pulling it off with panache'. Baller style!
