I was offered one within four weeks of showing interest and declined, pretty sure it sat at the AD's for a month or so before a member picked it up (even put up a PSA on here)
for a 5712? in london?
Hell no I was referring to a 5167a
yawn
Sorry mate you tired?
You queried crooky13 post about only 6 weeks on a 5167a and seem to imply it wasn't possible!
Now buy a PP already this thread is dragging on haha
Hold your horses. Its happening soon
That's more like it!
5711R coming soon
Look forward to seeing this one!!!!!
And 7 months of enabling has finally paid off! Looking forward to it!
List got a makeover
5711r
5146 maybe (any thoughts?)
Lange 1
PS I do like the mil-spec and could buy a pre owned (2013) 5167a right now with a tiny premium.
Im getting way ahead of myself here (however fun to speculate on a boring day at work)
If my 5711 comes thru the next 3-4 months as planned im considering the following:
Sell white dial Daytona 116520 / Omega SPECTRE Seamaster / Sub 114060 to assist funding the 5164 Travel Time
or
Sell Omega SPECTRE & Sub 114060 for a 5167A and keep Daytona
I thought I preferred the simple dial of the 5167A, however last year in Duggans window they had both and the 5164 really stood out. Ive also never had a GMT watch and the 5167 is simple three hander so maybe too similar alongside a 5711 in a tiny collection.
I consolidated 3 Rolex to put aside the funds for the 5711 and can't say I miss them. Over the last few years ive gone from 8 watches to 6 and recently to 3 (4 including the 5711 if it comes off)

Heads up. There is a 2013 5167a on Iconic Watches
4 year old PP 5167a ahead of list? No thanks!
£14200. whats wrong with that?
Retail is 13,750 I believe, hence a 4 year old one for more (and possibly needing a service soon which is not cheap) is not so attractive
people nowadays pay crazy premiums for lots of bullocks
WF had a 2 year old one for £16,250.
It's no longer there.......
Agreed.
But in this case a few calls and some luck will usually get one brand new at RRP so no point buying a 4 year old one. Great watch however.
5711 / 5712 maybe but I wouldnt for a 4 year old 5167 which is a lot easier to get
I know someone who last month walked into Boodles, had a chat with the boss and walked out with a new one on the off chance with little to no relationship as far as im aware. Bit of fortune for sure but cant see that would of happened with a Nautilus
LDN Boodles?

Chancer dealer that one George...........they never have anything in stock "ah, that one is sold Sir....but we have a XXXXXX"
Happens with a surprising amount of time with "hard to find" pieces.
Also really helps if you're buying jewellery/another piece to get the safe open for the good stuff (watch wise...)
I got mine on the off chance phone call to my local AD. Picked up next day
General question to everyone:
5711r vs. 5167r which one would you take?
He is incapable.
Have you considered a Vacheron Overseas?
got one already
Awesome piece but crazy money for what it actually is/offers....makes most Rolex S/S look a bit Lidl....
On strap or bracelet George?
Really? i thot the VC OS offers amazing vfm. u can get a chrono for £10k~

5711r on bracelet of course and 5167r rubber
Definitely the 5711R - the Brown rubber really put me off the 5167R, and I much prefer it in plan old steel in rubber - it would make a nice watch on a gold Aquanaut bracelet though
It's just a matter of time...
yeah, but new it's £27,100....but yes you can buy used for £11k/£12k from the EU or so...but for that sort of price you need to be buying an AP 15400 IMO.
not sure you can compare the two? Very different watches, configuration and pricing....
yes indeed. I guess 5711r has better longtime value too
No necessarily you're getting a chronograph for the same money as an AP 3 handed. For me the VC OS chronograph presents better value for money not to mention the 150m wr as well.

cool, each to their own then mate.
Do you have a VC OS Chrono just out of interest? Don't get me wrong I think it's a brilliant piece....
Good job as you've already got one inbound!
I might be wrong but I think we have a timewaster here - the photo George posted of his JLC Master Chrono was from a Hodinkee article https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ja...ls-introducing- we have still not seen a real photo of the JLC that George supposedly bought in May and arrived in June.
Despite George being on a zillion waiting lists for lots of desirable PP models for many months he has still not managed to buy one and has chopped and changed so much that it is difficult to keep track of George's latest whim.
Cmon George get a pic up!!
Sorry boys... I was just taking the piss!!!
Never thought we'd see thot on a Patek thread. Gangsta.
George, don't pay a premium for the 5167a, call Wayne and buy the one at the ad for list. Spend some money, show us some pics, or go away.
