5170P discontinued
Good morning fellow purists, the last time I posted a question regarding a discontinued watch I was lambasted for asking so I hesitate posting that the 5170P is discontinued. I have it from two very reliable sources that is the case.
Please give me the benefit of the doubt and assume I am right. Now, I would like to ask your thoughts on how the 5170P will be viewed moving forward with it’s limited one year production run and diamond our markers? The 5170 model, which has been in production about 10 years, has not been popular like the 5070 which we all know is now very sought after with rising prices. My personal opinion is the 5170P will soon be sought after despite the naysayers lamenting the diamond our markers, high price and comparisons (Especially on the movement) between it and the A Lange Chronographs. I would appreciate you thoughts albeit I know none of has a crystal ball. Pictures credit PP web site and from a Quill and Pad article...Jim
