Thank you for the well wishes. This is the first time i’ve Posted anything here and appreciate the collegiality of all here!
I’d been skeptical of a MR for a variety of reasons. Then got over it.
Can say now that the skepticism was not grounded in fact. This piece is so well made that it redefined (for me at least) “craftsmanship”. Just wearable art.
I also compared the 5178 vs 5078. This is a personal preference here. The classic gongs were more crisp and clear in their sound to me. While I appreciated the cathedral gongs, they sounded a little mushy to me. I know others would rather the cathedrals. The person who was with me preferred them because what I thought was mushy he defined as warm. So just personal preference.
Which was your favorite?

just took delivery after a longish wait. This piece is understated and traditional. The tones are crisp and clear. The white gold case and traditional gongs are the right combo for me. ...
Congratulations!

There's a discreet grace about the 5078 that's shared with few high complications. And these Breguet numerals really pop! Best, Tim
What's wrong...

...with the left side of the case? There is some extra metal sticking out that somebody missed in the manufacturing process. I expect more from PP (kidding)..... An amazing work of art...looking in the couch cushions now for spare change : ) Congrats.
Congrats!!!

My second favourite Modern MR. 5074r being my all time favourite with the cathedral gongs. The simplicity of the 5078 is enchanting. Enjoy your wonderful new watch and don’t wear the gongs out. Miles.
Exquiste watch...

one I really admire and have contemplated myself. A question though, if it were me I would have had to have the cathedral gongs of the 5178G, what made you go without? Case diameter? Congrats on a beauty! JBP
You are wearing my dream watch!

Definitely my holy holy grail, congratulations

But what made you decide between 5078G and 5178G. I had both on my wrist in the Salon Geneva and it is very tough to decide. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. ...
Thank you and yes it’s a grail.
