5980 or 5960?
My AD rang me today and said both the 5980 and 5960 are waiting for me. Clearly a sign the Patek marketplace has softened up considerably given that I am not one of his most regular customers. This said ,I will take one and wanted any strong opinions on which to leave behind. Up front I would say that I am leaning in the direction of the 5980 already but I would appreciate any 5960 owners telling me if I am missing something by passing on it.
All those "buy the one you like most" advocates, PLEASE refrain. Thanks.
