Of these three, I would say your current choice, then Patek’s original, then the darker one👍 [nt]

No weather blues for me today. The UK weather has been so kind to us during this difficult time.
And it is going to continue for a while longer. As we are all having our lockdowns eased slightly I just want to wish everyone a good healthy weekend and try not to over do the socialising. These beauties are happy to be released from total lockdown also....
No Problem Daniel.
I’ll put your name on it. 😉 I am thinking of swapping these two straps over though. I think the pale blue will go well with the 5070p and Salmon with the darker blue???? M.
I quite like the lighter blue on the 5270
Gives it a playful character. I prefer this to the more serious dark blue. Or, go classic, to a brown or tan? And yes, please do put my name on it 😄👍🏻
5270??? How could you sir? 😉 I’ll blame heat stroke for that little slip up 😉
But I know what you mean I like the pale blue Salmon combination. M.
Shame on me!
I struggle to get these numbers right. Of course yours is the classic, the right one. The one that saved me from pulling the trigger when I had the salmon 5270 on my wrist. Congrats to this beautiful beast!
Here are what I have tried so far.
With the light Honey being what Patek thought it should come on. To be honest as always they are probably right. M. ...
5970 and 5070 for me, best of the under $200K modern era for Patek. And doesn’t get better than L/E 5970G Salmon and platinum 5070,
PS - I would give the strap change a try. Best, Patekova
Thank you my friend and you are spot on. 100% agree with you.
I always value your opinion so I think I will give it a go. What about the pale on the 5070p? Let’s wait and see. M.
Fully agree, Sir, except...
Where would you find a mint salmon 5970 for under 200k? I fear this train has already passed, sadly. Cheers, Daniel
Daniel good point - you are 100% correct. When I mentioned $200 K I was thinking the most expensive regular production 5970(P) and 5070P.
Miles’ LE 5970 salmon is worth much more than that. Best, Patekova
Thank you. The world is starting to feel a little more normal.
But we still have a long way to go and lots of restraint to deploy. But yes a good start to a weekend that hopefully brings us back towards what we know. I’m looking forward to seeing some extremely missed loved ones this weekend whom I haven’t seen for 3...
That is great, happy for you! And yes, I can perfectly relate to that, as I’m still waiting to be able to go back to Italy to see family for the summer..😇
My flights got re-rescheduled for June 14, meaning over a month later than what I originally planned...let’s hope for the best now, even after I’ve had to considerably lower my expectations for what will be the “best” this summer😉🥂
I’ll cross my fingers for you for 14th June.
Summer will be different for sure but small price to pay for keeping well. My heart goes out to anyone here who has lost loved ones. It’s a cruel virus. M.
Sublime duo, Miles. 😍
The 5970G salmon is really hard to top (aesthetically). Your 5070P would look even better with a new strap. 😉 HAGWE. Best, V.
Thank you V.
I think you are right about the 5070 strap. Have a good weekend and keep safe. M.
