The way I treat my watch hobby...

There is no watch that is a must have - every interest is just an itch. I appreciate your input! I have a sports watch (Rolex 116520 black dial stainless steel), so I thought that the 5170p-001 would be a great dressier option.
Best,
Robert

Feasible? Trade my pre-owned PP5712/1A-001 for a pre-owned PP5170P-001?

Greetings, I've owned the 5712/1A-001 since 2018 when bought it new from AD after a 4 year wait. Now that the value has more than doubled I was thinking about taking the opportunity to jump up to a hand-wound chronograph in platinum. I would be maintainin...

Believe it or not, I don't wear the 5712 as a daily beater - I use it nearly exclusively with smarter attire... so the 5170P would have the same purpose. Best, Robert

Appreciate you! Best, Robert
I have the same hesitancy too. 5170P is a great timepiece, no doubt.

But a stainless steel Patek sport watch (especially 5712 or 5711) is such an iconic reference that you won't want to miss too. Unless 5712 doesn't sing to you anymore, otherwise keep it. For your information, I almost let go my 5712/1A few years ago to fu...
I would go for the 5170P

If the 5170P is calling you, I’d go for it. They are radically different watches but since the value of 5712 has gone up I would take advantage of it. I’m a sucker for a manual Chrono so I am biased of course but I think the 5170P with the blue dial can b...

Assuming that an even trade is feasible,

IMO you should pull the trigger if you like the 5170P as much or more than the 5712. To me, putting aside the popularity of the 5712, the 5170P is at a different level due to it’s chrono function, platinum case, and the subtle baguette diamond hour marker...
