If can only choose one between 5270P and 5131/1P. Which one would you get? [nt]
Certainly it is a hypothetical question and different persons (with his or her own existing collection) will have different view.
In my case, I already have 5270G and 5131R, and find both pieces attractive. But certainly cannot get both.

5270P salmon dial
Finally saw this beauty in metal at my AD. The Salmon dial is non-metallic, and like lacquer in texture. Despite being made of platinum, it doesn’t feel much heavier than the G. Though there is no Arabia numerals in lower half of dial, the overall balance...

Hi Henry, what a great and happy problem for you to have ! :-). Furthermore, you already know...
my answer ! Unfortunately I cannot give you an “unbiased” response. :-(
Thanks, Gordon. As enamel is your theme of collection, it is indeed difficult for you not to choose 5131/1P...........
The enamel dial is simply a jewel which you would like to see it on wrist every day. Anyway, it is just a hypothetical question, as I haven't got any offer for either one.....
Hi Henry, the salmon dial on this watch looks very...
yummy ! Glad that you will bring it home soon ! Eagerly awaiting your upcoming write-up !
Dear Gordon, I hope I can bring it home later some time.
Though I know your opinion may be biased, which one would you choose between this salmon 5270P and the 5131/1P? Initially I am not that attracted by the cool colour enamel of 5131/1P, but my taste seems to be changing now. Thanks. Henry
Hi Henry, you are most welcome ! Actually no need to...
thank me because I was poisoning you ! LOL !
I hope so. These watches are demo pieces, circulating among ADs all over the world now.
But my AD is indeed very helpful and have allocated me several lovely references.
Lovely pictures, Henry!!!
I haven’t seen this in metal yet so I haven’t decided on the 5270P yet. Does anyone know how this salmon dial compares to the 5450P salmon dial? Thanks!! Keith
Lovely watch
But the lack of numerals is very annoying honestly. For me it ruins what could have been a superb watch
I agree, the lack of Arabic numerals in lower half of dial indeed created some imperfection.
However, due to the lowered sub-dials in the CH29 movement, it simply doesn't have enough space for numerals (even partial numerals) in the lower half.
