Spectacular!!
What a major coincidence that TWO very limited salmon dial 3940G to be present at the same place!! How does that dial compare with the current production 5270P? Color?
Oh wow!
To see one is a treat, to see two out of only five made, is almost a minor miracle!!
Nice shot. Great watch with of course a wonderful dial colour.
I had a very similar experience with a twin a few years ago. I will find pictures. Enjoy both your watch and more importantly your friendship. M.
Trust that you had a wonderful 3940 GTG !
Great to have the twins in different attires, black vs brown straps ! Which one is yours and how do you like the overall look of the other strap on the salmon dial ?
London?
If these twins ever find themselves in London, let me know and we can do a triplets shot (mine currently in a brown baby-grow....)
5270P and this...
Does anyone with the 3940 salmon dial also have a 5270P? I wonder if the dials are using the same dial color/material? Or different type of dial? Just same color?
I’ve heard...
Five, seven, twenty - don’t care, I love it! Having said that, would be fun to see how many we can track
Maybe more than 20s??
Take a look at the following thread on this same reference: There may be upwards of over 25 made. But, definitely more than the 5 most people think . I believe the 5 salmon dials most known are the 5070G seen here: www.watchprosite.com
The one you sourced up is not anymore in his collection
its the one I have now lol we are at 3 and then only person I know of that also has 1 is Patek collector so we are still at 4
4 or 5...neither here nor there...think we can say that there
Is more than 7....most serious collectors that have these pieces dont post and they buried deep in collections...I didnt have prior purchase history on the sourcing and that implies that better collectors would have had no problem getting one
I was never
a huge fan of the salmon but in person it won me over. Definitely better in the flesh.
