I agree! :-)
I am not a diamond man either but the dial was mesmerising to the extent that the diamond markers were not evident. Very discreet and they actually suit the watch although I would have been happier to have paid a lower price and forego the diamonds. The tachymeter scale too was another plus not to mention I have never owned a Patek chronograph before. I personally am not keen on the 5070 range (too large) and was not too impressed by the other 5170 models until I set my eyes on the platinum version. A work of art if you ask me (but then again, I would be biased after having ordered one!
)
THE CONTEST - UPDATE - almost 2 months in (!!).
Dear Gentlemen, Have a look at our 5 remaining warriors. How should we describe them? Cream of the crop? Men of steel? Men with true self control and willpower? Fact is they have lasted for almost 2 months with one watch now. Though Baselworld even! I hav...
Thank goodness!
that once placing a watch at Basel World that it takes quite a long time before one takes delivery of a watch. I hope that by the end of the year I will be wearing a Patek 5170P but until then sorry gentlemen, it will be the 7200R for sure ...
Oh wow! You ordered the 5170P!!
I'm not a diamond man at all, and most of the time I would frown upon diamonds on a watch (for men), but in this case...I saw it live and it looks stunning. Congratulations!!
I agree! :-)

congratulations.....
.....we may not share the same love for the watch, but we can share your joy in the happiness of getting a watch that is so wanted. Congratulations to you.
you know....
....we all naturally differ in what rings our specific gongs. However, the one thing we all share is "that" feeling when a gong is rung. I may not hear it for someone else's watch. But I understand what it must feel like to be them hearing it!
I am definitely retiring on 22 June! :-)
I am just blowing my savings!! Life is too short Also, I am selling the Aston!
That is great news Sham ! Meaning that...
the proceeds of the Aston can get you a few more watches ! What other ones then ?
Are you kidding me?! :-)
A used Aston can barely cover the price of a 5170P!!! Sounds an illogical swap but it is a simple case of which of the two will give me the most joy and is most portable to carry around with minimal maintenance! Yes, even I can be practical at times
Still in and still going strong
Hi all still in although for me its now over four and half months and as we all like a picture hers mine taken today looking at this thread. Marc ...
This is impressive!
I think we need to conduct testing. There is a high chance of performance enhancing substances.
Your one of my contending anomalies as well
With a collection like yours.... but, in all fairness, that Montblanc really is a huge seductive piece. Much stronger than I initially thought.
Iron Man could be a suitable title for this contest dear Arie...
... though I guess these gentlemen have the spirit of a Tibetan Monk to resist the temptations to wear a different watch! I also feel it has required an extra effort to those assisting to Basel! My admiration to them and looking forward to know the winner...
