This is a good problem to have!
The watches being discussed are all beautiful and many of us have had practical experience with these gorgeous timepieces. We are all very fortunate people.
My big concern with the 5270 in any iteration is that the watch is BIG. My personal preference would be for the 5270J but in this I may stand alone . Many of our colleagues won’t go near yellow gold, especially in a watch that is as large as the 5270. I looked at a 5270R ( the one currently with a rose gold bracelet) at an AD in Beverly Hills. It is certainly beautiful but It’s too much “bling” for me. I have come to the conclusion that for my personal taste in these things, the 3970 is my absolute favorite. It has amazing capability and ( for my taste) has just the right amount of “presence” on the wrist.
Opinion on 5270
Great collection you already have and adding a
Agree with Gordon's comments. Perpetual calendar chronograph will enrich your existing collection. If you wants to buy it new from your AD, 5270 is a great choice (actually the only choice).
I would say their current market values are similar. But from a purist's point of view, 5970 has the following merits over 5270:
I fully agree with Henry.
I certainly agree with the observations made here
