First, a warm welcome on our forum

and congratulations for your first posts and stunning collection.

You have a very nice array of watches and I would see several of them on my wrist too.

I made a review of the 5124G blue dial here if you're interested: www.watchprosite.com =

And ChristianCH has just purchased one and has told us about his experience: www.watchprosite.com =

Once you have the fantastic current manual chrono, a model of the 5960, the marvellous 5110R and several 3-handers such as the rare 5196P for instance, or the thin PCs or the very unique "regulator", I think that going for a Gondolo is a great choice if you're attracted by shaped watches, especially from the Art-deco period style. This will bring enough diversity as well to your colelction and won't feel, imho, like something you feel you already have. The movement is different from the 324 and 240 you already have.

You could of course go for another kind of complication: 5200 with 8 days power reserve and jumping date+day

However, I think that the most important is maybe not to try getting as much diversity as you can (thus back to your question "another time-only") but really the watches that appeal the most to you. This is definitely not a problem to have same kind of watch if you feel "this is for you".

A thicker Nautilus to match pair with your 5712, like the 5726 Annual Calendar for instance could be a good choice too.

So this 5124G is a very good choice in a modern casual color for suits or jeans but you must feel you like it a lot and not just consider what fills a blank. I find the dial color interesting considering the watches you have already.

You won't make a mistake if this is what you want!

Keep us informed of your choice

Cheers, Mark
