Just taking my this one out for a nice day in the sun before going back to work...


I think a steel nautilus would have been an obvious choice with a navy shirt - but this didn't end up looking too bad..

Is the calendar easy to set?

I tend to go for simple and uncomplicated designs (except for the RB2 lol) and this one does certainly appeal to me - very simple and elegant for a complication watch

Takes a minute or so--simple as it gets!

Do you have to set the moon separately or it follows the date?

For some odd reason, I always hear Sarah Brightman singing inside my head when I strap it on.

Mike, how do you compare the 5711 bracelet to the 15300?

having tried on both the 5711's seems inferior to the 15300's, of course i didn't have them properly resized but the 5711's just felt not as sturdy as the AP...

Has to be set separately, courtesy of one of the pushers and adjusts each day between 09.30 - 11.00 hrs
