Almost 3 weeks after i pulled the trigger, i am loving more and more the charm and the size of the 3970. Honestly much more wnjoyable that my naitiluses and aquanaut. I am even loving it more than 5270P (Salmon) that i own as well. The size is nicer for my wrist and the vintage vibe is really nice.
Maybe Patek should think of a reissue of the 2499!
Have a great week.
