This article delves into the nuances of this complication, exploring its design, functionality, and collector appeal through Darron's initial observations and the community's subsequent discussion.
I’ve never seen that model before
I was just admiring it online as a consideration for my next watch!
Look and complication. Wish it was an AC as well; but only a weekly calendar
This is one reference I’d really like to add to my modest collection. Each time I try this on, I love everything abut the dial except for the fact that I can’t read the periphery without my reading glasses on especially in low light. Each time, I then sadly hand it back to the AD. I am tempted to just go for it. After all, I’ve always got my phone on me if I need to check the time or my calendar 😀😀. I am super keen to know what the owners think??
strap which matches the dial well !
eyes. The work week indication can be a little harder to read but ok for me. The sub dial date in the 5712 was hard for me to read though and ultimately I traded. A couple of details not discussed in too many places, this model has hacking seconds (apparently the first model to incorporate? Also, the day of the week indication jumps to the next day, but does not do it at midnight. Will need to confirm when but I gather it needs enough energy to do so.
