Very well said! But let me argue....
... I agree on most of what you said, except the pusher thing, i think they are well integrated in the spirit of design of the case and the bezel.
As for the hands its a major point for me. Taken of the context they are ordinary, but in that dial they strangely seem like the right choice.
Comparing to the hands of the 5070 is hard as they feel like a drop of gold that was suddenly frozen as it was falling 
Maybe the nicest hands IMO.
Maybe the nicest hands IMO.Now about our debate about when we have already the sweetest of all sugar ray's which is the 5070P.... What would be THE choice to pair it with ? another 5070G or the 5170G?
Well for me, no doubt (maybe because i have the 5270G) in my mind, when building a collection, the 5170G makes more sense than adding another 5070.
1st i think it look gorgeous, it has the best of both world, the vintage look with a hint to the 1436 and modern for the fantastic movement and great finishing of the case.
2nd, i like wearing all my watches without exceptions. I realized that when i had the same model with 2 different metals, 9 out of 10 times i always choose the same one to strap it on. Now that's just me
Wow that was quick. 5170G already arrived.

Congratulations Kamal on being one of the first new owners.......
This is the 2nd 5170G that I have seen on the wrist of its new owner since Basel. I spoke with my AD this morning and mentioned this and he find it very strange that Patek was already delivering the new pieces.
I find it strange too...
Could it be so that Pateks are not selling like they used to do? It seems that many watches that were difficult to obtain are now more or less readily available. There is still recession in most of the western world and Patek has been increasing their pro...
5170 is certainly one of the top chronos
and a beautiful watch, but so far it does not stir my emotions. I don't feel that need to put this on my wrist. Don't mean to fall into the 5070/5170 comparisons, but while everyone will respond with congratulations when a 5170 pops up, that is about it, ...
Congratulations ...
this is a real beauty and you didn´t lose any time to get it. Hope it will make you smile for a long time! Oliver
Congratulations!
I strongly find the G much nicer than the J. wear it in good health!
Several thoughts
First, the G is a big improvement on the J. What comes across as a cold dial in the J comes across as clinically cool in the G. I love the Breguet numerals and I think that works really well. The watch now has much more personality than the original issue...
In my eyes 5170G is great. However,
I am waiting for 5170P. The movement of 5170 is simply great and perhaps the future P-version will have even more personality than G. Best, Kari

Sugar Ray vrs Hitman Hearns
In round fourteen, after staggering Hearns with an overhand right, Leonard pinned Hearns against the ropes, where he unleashed another furious combination, prompting referee Davey Pearl to stop the contest and award Sugar Ray Leonard the Unified World Wel...
hahahaha.... Lol... :))
My stomach hurts! Good one Joe, you've knocked me out big time on this one... mainly because i agree with you. Now let me just trigger on that 5170G!! Don't give me second thoughts plsssss :) Then we'll pick up the fight again... i'll be more serein ;)
2013 models have arrived
Wempe in london has the 5170g as well as the new 5960 black dial
Arrive so soon
Congrates, very nice pc I think the reason why the new models where out so soon is because the old stok is not moving. Hence Patek decided a while back , to allocate their product capacity for the new models much earlier. Make sense to me. But it show pat...
actually i had the "you are so lucky...
... to have that piece allocated to you " speech :)... and not even from the dealer who is selling it to me, but from the Geneva salon. It made me smile to tell you the truth, getting used to it. Don't really care, actually i see it as a brainwash they se...
