PATEK 5971, should I get it?
Any thoughts on 5971? My AD offers me the watch but not sure if I should get it. I know this piece is very hard to get and I do like the watch even though it has the bling. Not sure if 5970p would be availabe in the future and still not sure if I was able to get 5004G (comparable pricing to 5971p) . Should I pass on this opportunity and see what happens at Basel 2009 (5970p?) or should I get it? I have to make a decision in the next few days and hope I could get some input from the expert in this forum, thanks!

I personally think the 5004 is the watch you want to get if you have a choice. While the 5970 is a tremendous piece, I personally think the split chronograph is a greater feat in watchmaking. The 5971 as opposed to the 5970 are two very different watches....
