Salmon - all the way...
Why? While I DO like the shade of the blue dial, it's difficult to see in various lighting situations. The salmon is VERY easy to read in all but very dark situations. Plus, the Breguet numerals in black with the matching dial and strap are just delicious!

5124G - Blue or Salmon dial?
I’ve decided to buy a Patek 5124G and the white gold variant of the 5124 comes in both salmon or blue dial. I am undecided and not sure what to get. The blue dial is slightly more attractive to me, but I’m hesitant to buy it as it has a very similar appea...
Tough choice...
...but both are extremely elegant, seldom-seen, and completely under the radar.
OK...I'll go with blue...
...as the salmon mimics the 5101P tourbillon but is not on that level. Besides, I've seen the blue in person and it's beautiful. Not too concerned about legibility in a watch of this style.
Get both
They're the same model technically but are a world of difference (hands, hour indices, dial), and both come with jaw-droppingly good looking and colour matching straps. In all honesty (albeit also very personal) I would say the 5124x2 combo beats the 5124...
Salmon for me
Not only do I like it the best, the blue dial also reminds me too much of the Reverso tribute small seconds (ref Q3978480). Nothing wrong with that design, but it belongs better with JLC in my opinion. ...
For me,
I prefer the salmon, though I’m sure either will be a great addition and will make you very happy!

Salmon
It’s a beautiful color. Have your AD order you a chocolate brown strap (104 is the strap code) and it looks amazing! I’m not a fan of the honey strap that comes on it.

The modern blue dial! Decided. It is on the way! I was contemplating between these 2 very dials. Thank you contributors for weighing-in to help me with my choice in 2021! Prefer both the rose (salmon) and the blue to the 5214J in yellow gold. This model w...
Hi ASH, congrats on getting the blue !
Please create a separate post and share your wrist shots.
I will once I get my hands on it!
Thanks for the well wishes. Will get back in a couple of weeks!
Great reply
This model is very interesting. I can’t answer the original question as I have not seen it in person, but I would go with the salmon probably as I need diversity in my collection and blue is everywhere
You can always go back in time to buy... ( time-traveller)
Looking forward to the pictures Regards
Congrats!
Lovely. I may have missed it in the threads- is this the one with the Geneva Seal or the PP one?
