As it's such an awful Gloomy day in the UK I thought I'd share my ray of sunshine with you.
No explanation needed just look at that balanced dial and hands. The 5970 will always have a special place in my heart like my first serious love. Which special Watch does it for you folks???
It’s going to be a long winter me thinks 😞

This really is one of those pieces that truly make me smile every time I see it.
That dial is simply gorgeous. Please do keep posting photos.
My first serious love Miles :-)
Coincidentally released at the same time as your watch - the 7200R London Edition - very simple compared to yours but it brings such immense self satisfaction every time it is on my wrist It might be 34.6mm and classified as a ladies watch but I love it!!...
I can see why you fell in love.
Simplicity. If only all love affairs were as simplistic. Enjoy your beautiful watch. M.
Thanks Miles!
I guess my daily life is seldom simple so l look to my watch for simplicity!!
I want to fully agree with Zabreg1 on this!
That dial is like the sun just before sunset on one of those perfect summer days.
Bless you. Yes that’s exactly the vision this dial evokes in me also.
Hurry up spring. M.
My pleasure and I agree with your thoughts on Salmon dials.
Which was why when I set eyes on it I knew I just had to have it. In 30 years of watches and collecting I have never had a feeling even close to how this Salmon 5970g makes me feel. M.

Sorry to hear that Mike.
All things happen for a reason I’m a big believer in that. Keep the 5970 in your sights if it’s meant to be it will happen. Best. Miles.

Not a Patek guy (wish I was) but..
Every time I think Patek anything salmon dial, your wrist shots easily come to mind. Always a pleasure to see it. Love the 3rd pic. I think Arie described it perfectly. Best, Echi
Bless you Echi. Thank you.
Yes certainly for me it is this watch that put the Salmon dial on the map. Yes the third picture was taken in the evening sunshine which is what gives it that unbelievable warm glow. I’m happy to have spread a bit of sunshine at this time of year. Best. M...
