Caseback Number question
Hi, apologies if this has been asked. May I know what does the case back number stand for (not the serial # that starts with an alphabet). Is it rerferring to the nth piece of same model made? Thank you

5167 stainless vs rubber
This may be a stupid question but I randomly found a dealer that had a 5167 in stainless at an AD near me I'm picking up tomorrow. I inquired about the rubber strap and understand that with the clasp can run as much as another 2500. So I'd be 23.3 with tax + another 2.5 or 25.8k all in. I assume there no arb to buy the rubber 5167 then get stainless bracelet, but that would put the stainless bracelet at 6-7k. Not the end of the world either way but random question I figured I'd check. I'll have to post pics of the watch tomorrow my first Patek and am pumped.

Here��s why the price increase won��t change demand for 5711 & 5712
Prior to the price increase, the 5711A and 5712A were the two least expensive watches in the Nautilus line. After the price increase... they still are.Although the Aquanaut is a fine watch and has a loyal following, it is a very different watch than a Nautilus. Very few people are going to get a 5167 or 5164 over either the 5711 or 5712 because of the price increase. I find it hard to believe that people favored a 5712 over a 5164 just because it was $2,000 cheaper before, but won't now that it is $4,000 more. For a watch in the $33,000 - $39,000 range, people are going to buy what they like (or can get), not which one saves them a few thousand dollars.For the 5711, which watch would you prefer over it for $29,000 that you didn't prefer over it for $24,000? Within the Patek lineup, only a couple of Calatravas fall in between those two price points.For a 5712, which watch would you prefer over it for $39,000 that you didn't for $33,000?
