5204, 5940, 5123! My three choices. but I've had them on the wrist!

Hi,

I'll post in the next days what I can (yet not my planned full post on the 5204).

5130/1G is lovely too.

The 5213 is quite nice too but I didn't touch it. A massive piece though, compared to the defunct and charming 5013!

I'm happy (and too busy alas).

Best

Dje

ps: I'll still try to get a 5711/1A 010!

I'm a fan of white dials.

And the 5726 looks like a sure shot winner.

5940 is the belle of the ball...

I am a big fan of the 5940. I love those cushion shaped pieces. The 5204 is also beautiful, but not sure how I feel about it being 40mm (or $317K, lol). One of the charms of the 5004, for me anyways, was that they crammed a grand comp into a 36mm case. An...
