The 5711 is an absolute classic and honestly one of the most comfortable sports watches you can own-it just wears like nothing on the wrist. The movement is bulletproof reliable, and yeah, the waiting list and secondary market prices are brutal, but if you can get one at retail you're holding onto a piece of horological history. Not perfect (some people find it a bit conservative compared to newer sports watches), but it's easy to see why this thing is universally respected in the collecting world.
