3Gs
I have received this piece for quite some times and it actually grows on me.
Comparing this to its predecessors, this new 5270G stands out on many points (in my humble opinions):
1. Legibility of different fonts on dials: Maybe I am getting older, so I really like the new font size and dial
2. Movement: Comparing to 5970G, I could feel more robustness of the movement when winding, although times will tell how it will be after a couple of years of usage. Winding a crown is really smooth. If I were to rank, 5270G is better than 3970G, and 3970G is better than 5970G
3. Thickness: this 5270G offers better diameter to thickness ratio 
A little picture of these 3Gs
Some may say that this new dial lack symmetry, which I agree, but maybe I get use to it already because of another brand chronos and can live with this imperfection...
and can live with this imperfection...

Your 3G collection is gorgeous ...
and together with ALS "imperfection" you must be close to the watch lovers heaven :-) 5270G on a simple calf leather strap is just perfect. Winding the PP chrono´s compared to your ALS chrono´s. How would you rank them? What is about the pusher feeling - ...
of the three
I would go with the 3970G, it just looks basic to me. I know it is thick to width and I have never seen one in the flesh.
Great collection...
With all three G perpetual calendar chronographs laid out, I think I have a favorite among the three. Do I dare say that I like the layout of the 5970G's dial the most? The tachometer right seems to be a nice touch.
Could not
agree with you more, Patrick_y. What is nice about these 3 pieces is that each seems to have its own fans. :)
3G could stand for two things.......
The precious metal that each PP is crafted from! But also three generations of the same watch..........Which to choice?????? I don't care, as it would be an honour to wear & own any of them :) May I also add, that you have a marvellous taste in timepi...
Quality collection!
Some of the all time classics in there. In terms of the 5271, the unbalanced part doesn't bother me as much as the relative 'clutter' on the lower half of the dial. But I'm nick-picking.
Good observation, Vandyke
Yes, the lower part is a bit cluttered, but now I am getting used to it :)
