I had always loved watches but wasn’t really into them much. Several years ago I was actually walking down the street saw this watch in an AD window, I know pretty hard to believe, went wow that is cool walked in put it on and bought it… I never ever thought I would do an impulse $50,000 purchase it also started ME on a journey of collecting watches. For that moment I will always be grateful
What a great story of how your horological journey began! And if by 5711R you are referring to the strap version (rather than the bracelet version)

that is an extremely rare (and beautiful) watch. While not so popular when it came out, it is a very, very different story now. Congratulations and many thanks for sharing your story!
