5172 This watch really got to me!

I liked but never loved the 5170 and out of all the references the G with black dial would have been my choice. The 5172 presents a different proposition entirely...
I wasn’t particularly thinking about this watch and asked to see it as an afterthought. But when I did, oh boy it was good!
The lugs: subtle Art Deco, the case: I can’t describe how it abuts the lugs but his real impact, the pump pushers are beautiful and classic, the box crystal and narrow bezel give greater visual impact, the dial: beautiful and balanced with the perfect choice of numerals and syringe hands- lined for added functionality. Finally, the blue strap is so soft and supple.
For anyone who thinks the increase in case size size is an issue, I compared it against a 5170 and didn’t notice.
Overall, this reference really appealed to me. I do wonder if it will be as popular as a 5070 in time or less so like the 5170. Time will tell.
I’ve been thinking that this one could be my forever watch... Thanks for reading.

I am in the minority camp of liking the 5170 over the 5070. However when I saw the 5172, I was pleasantly surprised. The pump pushers are always a welcome addition to a chronograph and the dial is very balanced.
Good Choice!!!

such a great watch. I also wanted to buy a watch but i am too confused because there are many watch brands in the market. I really liked it a lot and I am planning to get the same brand of a watch from shopworn coupon because they are offering a discount ...
I like it for what it is and a different watch to the 5170

I find the 5170 very classic, sophistucated and dressy. The beautiful breguet indices and the case...the G is gorgeous. This seems younger, more casual. The lugs and hands remind me of the 5320...the lume sensible (why wouldnt you want to see the time at ...
