If I remember correctly you have an incredible trio of platinum black dials - 3970, 5970 and 5004. I think each 5970 variant is significantly different

from the others. Same goes for 5070s . Can’t go wrong with any variants of these Lemania based watches.

Wow two brand new looking examples!

I get it. They have very different vibes, platinum and black dial, yg and white dial. Very nice combo. If I had to pick one likely the P for versatility and that it's platinum. Otherwise that J is really top class too!
Two grails.

Both fantastic!

Congratulations on adding the yellow gold version to your stable. They are both great watches, and the yellow gold version—to me—has a much more vintage, ironically almost casual feel. I have been collecting for so long that I could never count how many w...
It’s good to have both

That way, when you send one in for service, you won’t miss it as much. 😆 The white dial is a bit more legible in my opinion, but I have always liked black dialed watches so my answer is again, both. 😁
I personally like the J a lot better,

as it’s so full of life and light, and as I’m not fond of white metals nor of black dials. And, as I love the warmth of rose gold, I think I would also enjoy the R very much, even if it might be a kind of heresy to many seasoned collectors. As for the 597...
Thank you for the tip: great review indeed!

And Wei Koh's bespoke chocolate dial version is quite attractive. But the regular J or R remain by far my personal favorite. Imho, opening the J, though double-sealed, was a great decision: wearing this piece must be an absolute pleasure!
Very nice!

Somewhat to my surprise, because I’m not usually a colored metal fan, I prefer the J for its legibility and vintage vibe. Both are terrific.
Really like the J...
By: bruckner4 : December 21st, 2023-23:09
but really like the other three, too! Dream watches...
Excellent pair

The black is more sporty and the yellow gold has an old world charm to it. Can't go wrong with either
Both are fantastic.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s ok to own two versions of the same watch. I actually have a bunch, just not two 5970’s lol. Congratulations!
Yes Makes Sense.

When you find something that's perfect for you, stick with it. I get your point on clothing, I do that too.
thank you

Amazing duo 😍
By: Clueless_Collector : December 22nd, 2023-07:26
In the photos, seems like the J looks better and very attractive. Just like I have a few GMTs and Daytonas…it now makes absolute sense. I probably won’t get 2 of the same references but if they are so good, why not? I have never seen a 5970 in real. I tho...
Congrats!
By: afl : December 22nd, 2023-08:17
Wear both with the best of health and great joy. I am totally thinking the same way. I also think that 5970 is the best of all references and the most beautiful and balanced watch of all. As you said it is a perfect watch. My favorite is J but having both...
P for perpetual…

Back to pre-COVID ages, we were able to see those pieces in person. In my humble opinion, the rose gold and the yellow gold are quite similar to each other. Moreover, we may see the color changing towards convergence in time. But the platinum has a differ...
lovely pair
By: keks : December 22nd, 2023-20:56
makes perfect sense to me to have more than one in the same reference. After all they wear quite differently in different dial and metal configurations. But you as the wearer know what your wrist feels good in terms of reference. Congrats on the J, amazin...
Abit late to this but definitely the J
By: yming : December 23rd, 2023-15:34
Becoz the Ps date ring has shrunken 3, 7 (in the 27) and 2 (in the 29).. that I am sure will bug me immensely.. Looking at all the pics above, i just noticed that the J date font is slightly different from the R and the G.. My fav is the G actually becaus...
Overly detailed sometimes
By: yming : December 24th, 2023-06:32
And it prevents me from enjoying the p 😕 Eg in one of the j pics above, I noticed the MON seems to be bold but NOV isn’t .. haha
