5711 watch only

Would you buy a 5711 watch only for 4k less than with box paper?
Condition near mint.

If you can spend that much on a watch I'd not get a used current model, I'd get a new one.

No...get a new one. It might require more wait time, but it is definitely worth it.

I would. You can get the box later and get papers from the Archive.

Only if you know the seller well and don't plan on selling the watch

I agree with Mike. If you can get papers from the Archive, buy a box and save descent money, I would do it.

I would if the details all check out. Papers are easy to get and you dont wear the box

If its in great shape...yes bec PP allows you to get archive papers. This is all assuming that its at a deep discount to new. bec you can get a new 5711 at a discount if you work at it.
