Well guess thats the other cockup. Swatch should never of told people they would soon be available online in the first place

Youngsters?

Yeah im out also. Cant be bothered with even contemplating this kind of crap.
Swatch security should be ashamed of themselves

Is it April 1st or something?

Think got a nice discount and VAT off mine. Those were the days lol

Guess Chris Lowe doesnt play live.

He was late arriving 5 songs into the set

Yeah previously I guess that would of been the case but I think even the precious metal watches have a wait list as supply is so limited.

Last year I enquired about a Rose Gold Skydweller and...

Optimistic just a tad then!

Shame we don’t know who have handled both :)

I love the size of mine. Guess depends on wrist and taste at end of the day (im around 7inch wrist)

Thanks - wasn’t sure how big a gap between the two models.

Both dials nice - diamond one not as blingy as I thought.

Pics nicked from net

Regarding the two different icy blue dial variants etc does anybody know the price difference?

You never know now the Sub has increased...

Personally I have never sent a watch for a refinish / polish during service time but what's the score with refinishing Platinum watches?

Though the flip side to this is some Patek Collectors see the 5711 as a simple entry level SS watch with no real complication

Ha - also sold mine just before the big boom! Hulk for 5K I think!

Sometimes find myself looking at another Hulk but remind myself that despite lusting over them, when I finally got it I never...

I think in honesty the 5711 is prob not as delicate as it looks. I mean sure its a scratch magnet and nowhere near as robust as a Rolex but ive seen some pretty battered ones. I guess at the end...

Ha - Yep for sure!!!

Nah I decided a few years ago that any future incomings would have to be via my existing collection!!

That is a very nice pic indeed! Out of interest did you previously own a 5711?

What size wrist do you have? I am 7ish - 7.2 inch wrist and so normally have one link spare with Rolex Sports.

Hey!

Yes I am def reverse to you with the Aqua - which I find a fraction more comfy!!!

You are certainly correct that once traded it would prob be it I guess so I certainly wont make a hasty...

Thanks for the input. I think I can probably handle the weight ok and it would get a fair rotation anyhow. I guess it will be strange the first time regarding weight since I have a SS version. ...

Isn't that your second or third Blue Dial WG Daytona (or was that another forum member???)

Yes I do love the Aquanaut - if I ever got rid it would only be for a 5164.

Smart Nomos look interesting but not my style.

No financial advice needed thanks!

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the dial to be honest.

It can look amazing in natural light, showing that lovely blue etc. However in the shade or artificial lighting its more a...

Well maybe I needed to give more info:

1) Firstly - its a bit of fun getting peoples opinions and experiences on here (otherwise I wouldn't be here)
2) Purchased my 5711 at retail - not that I...

Never tried one - did attempt to try one many years ago in the US but a customer was taking too long trying it on so I didnt bother.

I used to wear a DSSD as a daily for a few years.
