Wear and Flip question for 5711
So as some of you may have read in my recent thread titled Bit of luck I recently (by some minor miracle) happened upon a brand new, unclaimed 5711 which had arrived at the AD that same morning. I've made the down-payment, and will be paying the remainder in full Friday morning. Before I do, I'd like to get a real, honest sense of what I am getting into in terms of investment. I plan to wear the watch and enjoy it for a very long time to come, of course--but because it's such a chunk-o-cash for me, I'd like to know what you guys think is in store for such a watch in terms of gaining or losing value over time, flip-ablity, etc. I'm used to vintage watches (Rolex in particular), and I know new watches are typically like cars, in that they lose a lot of value after you wear one off the lot. BUT, I also know as a Patek Philippe, and as a SS Nautilus, this watch is anything but typical. Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated!!

Stuck - Need Help (5711)
I am considering adding a white nauty to my lineup but Im worried about fit.My wrist is about 6.5 inches and fairly flat on top. To put it in perspective, I cannot get my 1680 bracelet to line up the clasp as there are too many links on the 6 o clock side, so the clasp sits very far towards the 12 o clock (not centered at all). There are 4 full links and the 1 weird looking link on the 6 o clock side, and same on the other side (ive taken all the removable links out of the 1680).As for my LVc - its a very good fit with the clasp being center and I have 3.5 links on the 6 o clock side and 6 links on the 12 o clock side with the glidelock set on the first notch inwards (you cannot see any notches looking at it).My EXPII 42mm, I have 4 links on the 6 o clock and 6 links on the 12 o clock - fits perfect.My question - based on some of the above info - would the nautilus be a decent fit for me? I want it to be comfy and centered. I hate when the watch starts to sit too far back to the 12 o c
