If it was me, I would go with the PP instead of the f430
The 360 Modena looked tired and dated following the release of the F430. Now with the replacement 458 Italia, the f430 will soon see its best days behind her, though it will be a "nice" car. A PP is really timeless in design and will only be more appreciated by its owner and other WIS' as time goes on. I am not sure a modern day Ferrari will be the same. When you sell your F430 after you have grown tired of it or when it becomes a maintenance annoyance, the funds you will get won't be enough to buy that PP you were deciding upon when you went out and bought the F430. But, this is all a personal choice as maybe you get more enjoyment from an F430 and like regular maintenance payments, mandatory registration and insurance, etc. ;-)
A view on different 5070, this watch should be so wrong...
A little comparison on different 5070 , and sharing this good moment and a personnal vision of this special watch. All the watches here are NOT mine, but from resellers in Munich, thanks to them for their warm welcome. The chronograph is not the most embl...
Thanks François
The secons pic of the 5070J is a good one ! This is the only 5070 I never saw irl. But this picture you posted .... wonderfull !. I must see it one day For me this is the best one can get. If I had the money I would buy the 4 different 5070's. The 5170 is...
it depends
I tried a 5970G, and I put it just behind the 5070 P ... and the G is my favourite 5970... so I completely agree wth you in fact Francois
Bruno my friend.....I have to respectfully disagree :)
The feeling of a 5970 on the wrist is like nothing else In any colour...... Good job we are all different.... and I admire you love for the 5070 This message has been edited by Miles151 on 2011-03-18 14:10:09 This message has been edited by Miles151 on 20...
well
It is a gorgeoud piece Miles, really very , very , very nice ..... but just after a 5070 LOL Now If I would win the Euro Millions, I would definitely buy the 4 different 5970's too .... but I'll start with the 5070's
I will keep my fingers crossed for you ......As that would be great to see....
All the 5070's and all the 5970's in one photograph........ M.
I would also.....
disagree with you Bruno.... I would prefer the 5970 over the 5070... As Mles said, being different is great and it also leads to great conversations... 5070 is gorgeous but, for my wrist, too big.... 5970 is simply gorgeous and perfect on a wrist... Cheer...
Thank you Francois....... I for one agree with you..........
I did however have a real soft spot for the 5070wg but when I saw the 5070p in the flesh my heart was stolen........ My heart has been stolen again recently........ M....
Decisions?
The 5070P is an amazing piece Miles (great photos!) ... my partner has one and is deciding whether to buy a new PP or an F430 Spider, I have no preference... any thoughts?
Gilly, Firstly I would like to welcome you here.....Good question....
Firstly I would like to say what a lucky person you are to have a someone in your life with such exquisite taste....... Firstly it depends on what PP? If we are talking 5970 or MR then no competition IMO....... PP all day long........ Having said that a 4...

forgot to add that the f430 is comparable in price today with the 5970p
which one would you rather have in 10 years time?
Great pics of your 5970p Wilson.....and a very valid point made...Gilly you should......
tell your partner to do what their heart says but Wilson is right in 10 years time they may regret the 430......Unless they can do both and sell the 430 after 12 months...... Keep us informed and look forward to seeing a scan of you in the 430 or the PP.....
Painful picture of 2 lovely sisters.
I would not compare the PP 5070 to the Lange or the JLC one, but to this VC. Same calibre, same philosophy, in two different expressions. The VC was exquisite, this PP rules! Best, Nicolas...
Beautiful, both of them
completely agree with you, the VC is charming and the PP "imposes" itself by its presence. cheers Francois
Roger Dubuis Hommage Chronograph
Another wonderful chrono based on the Lemania calibre is the Roger Dubuis Hommage. Here's a picture posted by radone ( patek.watchprosite.com )....
indeed
If I could ever buy (and afford) such a piece, I think I would do it this is magnificent
Thank you, Heartbreaker,
for posting the best picture of my RD Chronograph Monopoussoir. The movement is at least as beautiful as the dial....
You're welcome, radone!
I sincerely find almost all the Roger Dubuis "hommage" extremely appealing. I'd like to know why there isn't an "hommage" family in the standard RD collection. Ciao!
OK, now we're posting pics
I need to find somebody who has a 5070J and 5070G, I would love to make some shots of these 2...
I can only help with the 5070G.
Yep, Bruno, this would be great to be able to take good pics of the 4 versions of the 5070 together. Let's see if we can make it. Best, Nicolas.
5070J and 5070G are available together
at Montres Modernes et de Collections rue marbeuf in Paris. You could take some pictures for your collection. Have a nice trip to Paris. Thanks to share them with us. Cheers, Patrickh
Thank you for the comparision
I'm quite stunned by those beautiful chronographs, depsite the fact I don't know them much : this post is a very good one to start with ! And thanks all for the pictures
De rien Boréale :)
Plus que d'autres pièces le 5070 se doit d'être vu en vrai, l'accumulation des défauts en photos se fiat oublier et laisse place à une pièce superbe, pleine de caractère. Je ne m'attendais pas à ca honnêtement. (Mor...
