Joe , in medicine we are taught "the ontology recapitulates the phylogeny"

In other words we are what we were , with obvious modifications
In the watch world ( and most other spheres of life ( this remains a truism )
Looking at the PP museum we can see where the present collection has evolved from
Even the most recent 5522 has its basis from the original old pilots watch ( ref?)
We can choose to collect whatever our hearts desire.
I think there is bit of snobbery in some collectors ( possibly myself included) that to be a true collector one must have vintage in the collection
Whether this is true or not can be debated but surely saying one is better than another is incorrect.They are both valid forms of collecting
Looking at the 5970 or the 5070 one can see the history/
Me I still prefer the vintage stuff ....
