    Thank you! The watch is so stunning, this is the first one I have ever seen in person. The pictures don’t do it justice. It also has a beautiful weight to it. Just enough to feel substantial but not heavy.

    Just wired funds for my grail watch. 5270j. Its gonna be a few months before it arrives and ill probably have them hold it for me so I will get it on my 50th birthday in August. But to say that Im excited is an understatement. Ive been thinking of this watch forever! I cant wait.

    Need to plan a special trip/reveal - something to make this happen.

    Lol. This is the watch I sold to make room for my 5905. It’s a spectacular piece. The one negative that I would say is I like larger watch is 42 mm because I have a big reason I’m kind of a big guy, and even though this is 42 mm that you have the face is a little bit smaller so that so it doesn’t feel like a big watch. That might be a positive or a negative. But they finish the dial the hand everything it’s stunning.

    I guess it’s musical chairs because I’m getting bored of the 5930g so maybe that can make room for the 5905p!

    5930g ...

    The dark blue at night time almost looks black which is a nice thing because you can make it more of a formal watch which it very much is

    I think I have a candidate for the most understated Patek ... the 5078p ... 38 mm ... minute repeater ... I think a nice one second hand is around $330,000

    Could it handle a brighter blue strap like the one in the 5930g above? Or would that clash with the darker dial?
