Aka Thierry Stern
I see that you've made a choice among the 2017 novelties
I think I have a top 3 as well but it is not fixed yet. I'll see them in May.
Can I ask you a little feedback on the 5930, how it wears, the pros and cons from your own experience?
And also for the 5524, how and when you wear it etc... ?
I think that, as they are new models, it will be interesting for people considering one or who didn't pay attention to them in the first place. I like the 5930G very much.
Enjoy them and I hope you'll get a 5131P. It is a gorgeous handcraft watch.
Best, Mark
Hi Mark, the 5524 are completely different watches for me to wear:
The 5130G I actually sold before and missed it and bought a new one within 3 weeks. This is my dress watch for suits.
The 5930G I bought without consideration if the chrono for which I have little use. I know the movement is boring from a purist perspective but it combines a vertical clutch and automatic which suits me perfectly. It's casual / business and I wear to the office as well as casual. I love the case and the scalloped sides. I have more macros on my Instagram account. Yes it is thicker than normal but I don't think overly. What it does do is make the watch wear smaller. This suits me as I have smaller wrists at 7 inches. The guilloche is fantastic and the watch is super legible (cities) in normal lighting. I think it's the white print against the blue. However sometimes in lower light conditions it's a bit difficult to read. I like the modern look of the hands, the finish and seldom use the chrono.
The 5524G is a watch I wear in weekends with a pair of jeans. Unbelievably comfortable and very legible based on the size. The dial is a very deep navy blue which doesn't photograph well but great in the metal. The lume at night lights up a room it's so strong. Criticism is I think the pushers could have jutted out just a little bit less to give more harmony to the dial. I understand why they are there and the aesthetics but feel that maybe it should extend about the same as the crown. The movement being smaller than the case died t worry be at all. The white gold makes thus watch nice and heavy and the strap is very comfortable.
It would be difficult to part with any of them. If a 5131P arrived then it would replace the 5130G.
My 5711P is definately competing for wrist time against the 5524 on the weekend though.

5130G
Pls also share more about your 5130. It is my only watch at the moment, and I wear it with navy suits.
Well I bought it twice so have a huge soft spot for the 5130G.
I like watches 39-40 mm so this is the perfect size. I find the hands very legible against the dial and the guilloche is brilliant. Reflects light in all directions and yes of course the P is better. Reading cities is fairly easy but sometimes you get a glare on the crystal which makes it challenging. Thin enough for me to wear under a French cuff and very comfortable this watch is a firm favourite. Yes we know that they not accurate when Summer Time is in operation but I love the complication. I am not a huge fan of the 5230 mainly as I think there is too many types of engine turning on the dial.
Your pictures confirmed my love for my 5130g. Cheers to yours , thank you.
All the best. Geross. 
Great feedback on the 5930G and 5524G
Thank you Karl, I love that 5930's case proportions, the colors, the dial decorations, the complications it embeds...
You have a nice collection, enjoy them
Best, Mark
Thank you Mark. Hopefully I will post pictures of the 2017 incomings as they arrive for all to enjoy.
Well not all! I prefer watches that are a bit divisive! Cheers
just PM'd you....may be your inbox is full as I got that message...let me know [nt]
No message body
Thanks for the excellent macro photos ! I would imagine that with your...
wonderful collection, Santa aka TS, will make your dream come true !
I just wish that Patek had put the 5131P on a strap instead of platinum bracelet which makes the price much higher.
Cheers and best of luck with the 5131P !
Cheers,
Gordon

May I also share on my fans on guilloche and worldtimer....
Felt in love when launched last year, and have the 1st chance to get it from my AD. Very happy about it . The Warm 5230R
5524 lume
first thing i noticed after two hours ownership of the 5524G: the lume!!! it just glows in the dark like i have never seen with any other watch before - rolex included.
You have a great trio there, thanks for sharing!
The 5130G is very high in my wish list, so I can understand your feelings. It seems that 5230 is not so popular, although I love it as well (a bit dressier IMO). Good luck with the 5231, which will be out one day for sure, but let's see how long we have to wait...
I love my worldtimers too
The 5930 is a daily beater, great proportions, highly readable. The 5131 is my formal one, less readable but who cares while enjoying the mesmerizing enamel.
