What an interesting post with a heated discussion. I suppose one shall not compare the brands but shall compare watches. I would like to leave 3 unbiased thoughts on the subject and a personal opinion.

1) PP are very wearable and this aspect is often looked upon when compared to others. People mentioned ALS, so I'll use it as an example. We all praise Lange double split and triple split for the insane innovations and craft. But these watches are 15 mm t

Thank you so much, Gordon, I'm glad you enjoyed this post.

I would indeed be very interested to know why her signature isn't present on all dial variants. And I completely agree with you that if you're going to own such a work of art, it might as well be signed (it even needs to be). For this reason, my personal

Lucky you, Gordon!

Funnily, I am planning to do a post dedicated to the variants of the 5531 someday (I've started gathering information and photos, but I lack time right now). Having never seen any example in real life, it's hard for me to be sure of how I would feel in re

Hi 👋 All, going for an auction preview I saw 👀 my GRAIL !

Although I will not be bidding for it, Jonathan Siu was kind enough to let me hear and wear it ! I will be dreaming 😴 forever !🤣 What do you guys think of this enamel dial by AP (Anita Porchet and team) but without AP on the dial, unlike the 5531G?

I own the original 5930g in blue.
