I received the call from my AD that he had a 5212a I had first dibs on. I was out of town so couldn’t go in to try it on. Made decision to buy it since they’re hard to come by and AD likely wouldn’t receive another one for rest of year. I’ve posted up in TRF before that I was really interested in this reference. I hate to say it but I’m a bit underwhelmed by it. Don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing piece but it’s the most expensive watch I’ve purchased and it doesn’t pop like I had hoped. From pics I’ve seen on TRF I had also hoped it would work in a more casual setting but I feel it’s not a match for where my mindset is on watches currently. I just ordered some waxed canvas straps to try to make it more casual. Hopefully that will help me fall for it.

Am I crazy for not loving the 5212a out of box?? Just needed to post about this as I’m really beating myself up over it.

Update on my prior rant. I decided to change out the strap and have worn it a few times now. Definitely a hell of a watch and an absolute strap monster. Surprising how many different types (and colors) of straps work with it. Pic below is the strap I like most with it. This piece is beautiful and stunning on the wrist, and flies under the radar which is great. This purchase, however, has reconfirmed to myself that I definitely prefer more sport style watches. I would definitely reach for my Aquanaut, FF, Pepsi, etc 98% of the time. Just thought I should continue to share my experience with the 5212

Nice strap. I need to get into it asap. Wearing a blue strap on mine to support your assessment.
