It's been two years since this newest Perp Calendar Chrono was introduced at BaselWorld. When I saw it, I loved it. IMO, simplistic yet bold, elegant with much less clutter than it's predecessor.
However, I did not pull the trigger back in 2011. I have heard... "way overpriced".. "they didn't sell too many".. "collector's would rather their 5970's".. etc etc. Two years later, does it still carry the same "stigma"? Prices have dropped significantly on them and I am wondering if it is the right time to pick one up? Looking forward to collector's thoughts.

Forgetting the price...
it is a stunning watch... very nicely proportioned and the dial is well-balanced without being over-cluttered. I would be pleased to own one! MW
In love with mine...
... bought it as soon as it came out. Paid more even though i'd promised myself not to. But i felt on the spot that it was the one, so the hell with rules. Never regretted ever since. Even if i can find it now at list, doesn't really matter, worth every p...

You know what I think. Hutchman should weigh in. He owns both the 5970P and the 5270G.
Without a doubt I love them both!
But if I could only keep one it would definately be the 5270G and I'm dreaming about the announcement of a 5270P this year!
Thanks for the comments guys..
I do love the watch. I'm one of the few along with a couple gentleman in here who prefer it to the 5970. Future value and collectibility are very important especially when at this level of watch collecting (176.3k retail is not chump change ;) They can be...
5970
More balanced (IMHO the 5270 has too much 'activity' in the lower half of the dial), more classic, better sized for the future (whether large or small dials are en vogue in the future, the 5970 will fit the bill at 39/40mm), last of the great modified lem...
