5970 is great, but a 5004 (in P or RG) is the most exhaustive watch you can have...but it's very difficult to find one !

Good luck...

consider a 5070 add to your collection? or you will get the 5170? I am not usually a yellow gold lover, but for some reasons 5070J looks amazing especially that Black dial....

...I did. Very different watches to wear, with the 5070 obviously bigger by quite a bit...but the connection through the movement, and the iconic status of each reference in the line up when they were current, was enough to get the pulse racing. Worth see... 

for sure. the 5070

The 5070 has a special and very different feel, compared to the 5970. Which is interesting is what you said about the yellow gold version. I'm not a big fan of colored gold watches, but I surprised myself to have a pleasant look on the YG 5070... The cont... 

5170 is very nice .... but .....

I would take the 5070 in a heartbeat. Those 5070 won't become chepaer in the furure and the longer you wait the harder it will be to find one. The 5170 is just out so if you don't buy it today you can still get them the next comming years. My favorite is ...

Look at www.chrono24.com this is a site with probably the most watches for sale. Professional watch sellers but also a lot of enthusiasts like us. I think there are about 35 ref 5070 for sale, in all colors. Not sure if linking to this site is allowed but...

choose the 5070..... I think that it is a classic... The more you wait, the more difficult to get one as it is no longer made.... The 5170 is also interesting, but since it just came out, it would be easier to get in the future..... At the end of the day,... 

definitely...

I used to own all three metals of 5070, less 5070P I do find 5970 less attractive than 5070. 5004 is the acme, go for it before it is discontinued Larry

please show me the best photo(s) of your 5070...

M....  

I have seen the 5170 in the flesh and would have 5070p all day long.....

But that is just me...... 5170 is nice just nowhere near as nice as the 5070p.... M.

Good time to acquire a 5070P.
