vintage feel to this 5227G... love it

When I was getting this calatrava, seemed like everyone on this forum was in favor of the R or Y version for it matches with the lacquered dial of 5227s. 


But being a white gold guy, I went against the majority and chose 5227G and am in absolute love with it!! (It is discontinued now and gave its place to 5227G black dial) 

I am just loving this yellow, eggshell-ish lacquered dial which gives it a very vintage feel. Perfect companion for daily wear to work with suit & jacket. 

And as you all know... the "invisible hinged" officer's caseback which reveal its beautiful finish.... is just icing on the cake!!!!! 







While I do believe calatravas go best with suits, this 5227 can be rocked with some leather jackets as well! 


Simple design=can be worn anytime anywhere except for beaches :P

then the 'G' both with the cream dial. The black dial looks quite appealing but I can't justify three of them. I can't resist the hunter case backs especially one as discreetly put together as the one on the 5227. Such a fine hidden hinge. The scalloped l...  

perfect capture Dave!
