Lots of thinking
Nov 26, 2012,14:29 PM
I have done lots of thinking as I own a 3970. I think 5270 is an exceptional piece. I had the pleasure of wearing and using. As a collector it would be ideal to own 1518, 2499, 3970, 5970, and 5270. Too me they are all in the same league just different times in evolution.

I've still not seen it so...

Hi, I've still not seen the 5270G to know if I like it as much (or more) as the 5970P, one of the best memories of a watch on my wrist ever! All that said, whatever the result I will not order it, but that's another story. Cheers Dje ps: I would be very h...
Let's see....

5270: 5970: I will be honest with you: i prefer the charm of the 5970. I found the 5270, even if it is a great watch, less subtle with bold hands and indexes. Morevoer the less busy dial makes it less complex. Fx...
5970 or 5270?
By: Kevin22 : November 5th, 2011-22:45
Congrats Macfever. I too would like to have both! I am looking for the 5970P with the black dial, which I think looks sufficiently different from the silver dial of the 5270G. Have you compared the chrono functions of the 2 watches side by side? I wonder ...
I passed on the 5270

In fact, I had 2 AD's calling me recently about them. I think that the high price is just too high, so I had to pass, sadly. It's a sad time for collectors who were used to the old prices and old ways of doing business. I'll simply enjoy the older version...
5270

I ha the pleasure of looking at both and decided on 5270. 1) better profile- doesn't sit as high on wrist 2) size 3) superior movement- the new features are a major upgrade over the old outsourced movement. 4) dial is cleaner and bigger I understand the t...
Love the 5270

It is the first completely in-house chrono perpetual in over two decades. I would much rather have the 5270 than any of the non-in-house movements, especially since it is their first in-house in a long time, which I think makes it an exceptional piece of ...
For me 5970 P, J and R!
By: tempus : November 26th, 2012-14:16
To me 5970 (I love my 5970P) is noble, maybe the movement of 5270 is a positive evolution but I am not a fan of the design...case of 5970 (not that nice, only bigger and I don't like the crown). Maybe it becomes better with a different colour of the face ...
