that's
a very informative answer. Thank you very much. I think I am not that far to the yellow gold though, in fact I'll be buying a rose gold 5980/1R next year (I'm aware that it's rose gold, but completely). About 5711P, this is what I really want but.. We'll see I guess
Thanks once more!

So, need a purchase advice.
Hi guys, I'll be doing a purchase in the upcoming couple of weeks and I'm a bit undecided actually. My intention is to add 2 valuable piece of Patek to my current collection. The first one is decided, it is going to be a 5270G. I have my eye on it for a l...
Are you serious??
I am not sure what kind of advice you are looking for!!!!! My suggestion would be to buy the 5270G if you are able to and can afford it! the odds of getting any of the other 3 pieces you mentioned are very very low. It seems to me that you are new to Pate...

Dear salihyoluc, Thanks for sharing your choice issues with us. One of the founding reasons for PuristS website was to share passion, opinion and information with like-minded people. If not for PuristS, we may not have enough watch-friends in our location...
I also think its odd
I think you've made an excellent point. The OP seems to like the 5131j but for the brown strap?! Surely a collector contemplating the purchase of well over a quarter million dollars in watches cannot be concerned over a $500 strap. I also think the OP's r...
I like to
wear the watch as it is. I know it may seem weird to you, but I don't like changing straps at all, so that's why brown strap is a turn-off for me.
Sorry, but..
oh and also, if someone does not read the whole posts and tell me stuff like ''you are new to x'' ''you don't know anything'', I'd be harsh. I'm sick of this stuff. I think I'm informative enough on my post and would like an advice about it. If you have n...
My advice: relax and take a deep breath
I don't personally know Abe, and I certainly can't speak to his thoughts but only to his words. I've re-read Abe's post and don't find any reference to you "not knowing anything" as you have stated. I think Abe's advice is valid and I would assume well in...
Actually i think i am...
Actually i think i am right and calm enough. If i believed he had read my whole post and then answered, i would not answer like that. Anyway, we are getting off topic. If you have any opinions regarding my post, i would be glad to hear. Salih
Something is Odd
For what it's worth, the OP's post (and some of the responses) is nearly identical to one he made 7 months ago, but this time he says he's buying two watches, not just one.
Why is it odd? I...
Why is it odd? I have decided on 5270 and trying to decide a second one now.
Price and rarity don't make all in a purchase decision.
The three you are considering are veeeeery different pièces, and they are quite expensive. You should take the time to consider each of them in a longer period. I have a " trick " to make my mind when I can't decide. I take or find pictures of the watches...
viewpoint
Dear Salihyoluc, I think you have clearly laid out your thinking and the situation (I don't judge or interpret you mentioning the prices and the fact that they are all expensive watches as an indication that you just want to go for them bc of high price, ...

not the 5711
I like it but imo it's too expensive for such a simpe watch. 5070P gets my vote Now if it would be a 5131J .... I would doubt 5131J or G .... for me it's the J, it has a much warmer feeling
Look closer at 5131 dials in G and J
They are different and i do prefer the white gold version due its fantastic map. Also, Turkey is on G version, as well as Russia. It was one if the arguments for me. Platinum version of Nau is great too - but there is a alternative in steel, while 5131 is...
Go for the 5711p
Hi, From my point of view the best value is the 5711 p but it is very hard to get.
thank you..
for that information i did not know. I thought both dials are exactly the same. If Turkey is on the G then that ends the G vs J dilemma. Thank you! Salih
not yet :)
I'm still trying to hunt down a 5711P. If not, 5131G is the biggest candidate, but who knows. Gotta see the 5070P in person first. Best, Salih
Turkey/Russia only on G?
Can you clarify what you mean by saying Turkey and Russia are only on the G version? The person who hand paints the dial makes each piece unique and different, so no two watches are the same, whether it is in the G or J metal. But why would the lady who h...
Different dial
There is an entirely different hemisphere depicted between the G and J versions. That would explain the difference you describe. Personally I never understood the appeal of these dials. "Emporer's new clothes" perhaps? No offense intended, and desirabilit...
Are you certain?
Have you seen both the J and G dials together? There is variability in each depending on the artist. I actually wear the 5131G more often (because of the silver-colored case), but I look forward to the days I choose the 5131J ... because I think the watch...
Jaah...
First of all, thank you for asking. I would eliminate first 5711P. A sport watch with platinum strap and case? No thanks. A watch with a simple mass produced movement. No thanks. The price is too high, the watch is too heavy and a sports watch is made of ...
5070p
for me personally, of the three, i'd buy the 5070p. i love chronos, the blue dial is magnificent, and it's sporty enough to wear casually given it's size. i don't care for the others.
Hi Salih...I have a 5131G
but not the others you mentioned. So my view is biased. To me, 5131 is a great piece of art with its enamel dial which is mesmerizing !! Since each dial is different, you own something that is truly unique. The world time function is very useful if you ar...
All 3 Wonderful Choices
They're vastly different watches and should all be admired for the great qualities they possess. I wouldn't listen to anyone that you don't live with as choosing a timepiece is best left a personal choice. With the specific references you've indicated it'...
