This # 5170G is a stunning model with a silver Breguet numeral index on the white dial.

Any thoughts on which strap you prefer?

It’s hard to choose one between this two, but to me the brown is the absolute champ, it blends better with the numerals and gives the dial a better contrast! The blue is more young and fun... Thank you for posting your beauty!

The blue strap is nouveau and cooler. Love them both.

I wouldn’t ascribe a sex to a watch, though. Most of mine look and feel rather androgynous.
