Yes, true about J being the rarest and an excellent point. If you haven’t already read it, I highly recommend a superb recap and review of 5970

A close friend of mine was having his on the wrist today also, but in J version (mine is a R version) With the 3 of us we are covering 3 of the 4 iterations ...  

Thanks Mike for your very kind words. I love 5970 in all metals. For me, P is bold, daring and yet since a white metal a bit under the radar

around non watch collectors. G is icy cool and goes well with a myriad of colored straps. R is very warm and inviting in beautiful rose gold. J with the white dial is classic, understated and almost seems from another era. I really appreciate your posting... 

I concur fully

You can add one detail to your comments: J is not only classy and classic and ads a touch of vintage look but it is also the rarest from all 4 iterations (not including the special versions like the G with salmon dial and some pieces uniques of course 😉).... 

👍 many thanks 🙏

I had read everything about the 5164R before I pulled the trigger. This Hodinkee article is downright enthusiastic about this watch.

Happy New Year, Mike!
