Thank you Jerome, indeed one of the most appealing iterations in my book !
The silver dial is indeed vertically brushed, and I believe that this is the only version with black hands and indices (but I might be wrong here).
Between this and the "P" version, in my opinion the "G" is more versatile, less the flavour du jour and flies more under the radar. Plus the price difference is substantial, but at this elevated price level, that should not necessarily be the decisive factor. Finally, I can understand why some would prefer the heft of the platinum (though the G isn't exactly a lightweight on the wrist either 
.
Cheers,

Different angle of my 5270G-001
This time a different shot of my 5270G-001, to emphasize the silver dial and show off the beautiful case with the concave bezel and two-tier lugs. Appreciate your comments / advice. Sorry about the reflections btw, photo was taken outside. Cheers, Pieter ...
Great shot, Pieter, showing well how beautiful this 5270 is.
The lugs are gorgeous and I like the concave bezel very much: nice to see the trees reflected in it, but your hand can be seen on the left: this you could maybe have avoided. The silver dial and blackened hands and indices are also very appealing. Thanks ...
Thanks Emmanuel !
And I agree on the comment on my hand being visible, I will try to use a tripod next time. Cheers, Pieter
Lovely
One of the better versions of that watch! I’m myself on the fence, was looking at the 5270P (salmon) this week and still hesitate between it and the 5270G-001 (yours) The silver dial (it is vertically brushed, isn’t?) and the blackened indices make it lov...

It’s been in the bank vault lately because
I’m in the middle of building a house in a bordering state and am away from each house days at a time. Even though I have a great alarm system, great home safe, I am leaving most of my collection in 3 different banks in two different states until I finish...
Totally understand where you are coming from, that’s very prudent !
Even when I go on holiday for just a week or so, all my grail pieces go to the external safety deposit box.
That gorgeous vertical brushing!
Absolutely love this first rendition of the 5270. Well done! Best, Robert
Thanks a lot Robert, and I agree, they started the model line with a bang !
It also compliments the 5170R very well, I must say. Cheers, Pieter
Really appreciate the compliment !
This was shot with my Iphone 17 Pro, ever since I got one I hardly use my DSLR anymore, the Iphone's camera is amazing ! Cheers. Pieter
Thank you Tony, your gorgeous Datograph is not too shabby either :-) !
My absolute grail would be either a Patek 5370 or a Datograph Triple Split (I'm a chronograph guy). Both are serious coin, however, and more than I'm willing to pay for a single watch at the moment. Oh well, someday. Cheers, Pieter
Thank you and I agree, you don't see this dial color around too often !
Also love that it can turn from grey to white, depending on lighting.
