Patek 5070r!

After much thought (and input from this board) I kept both the ALS 1815 Chrono and the Patek 5205r. Traded a couple other pieces (JLC Deepsea Chrono and IWC Chrono Classic) and a lot more cash for this 2006 edition in great condition. Thanks to Steve at Tarrytown Jewelers for making it happen. I think I'm done... for a while. Happy fourth to all.

Gorgeous 5070. Now you need a SS or platinum watch, to mix things up.

Black dial AP15400 is my only SS (and is great) and I dont own any in platinum - I like rose gold (obviously). Part of the reason I sold the Deepsea Chrono was that though comfortable and very nicely designed, I never wore it. Now a Datograph up down in platinum would be interesting... but I'm done for now...

3 magnificent watches but if you ask me, that 5070 is by far the most interesting, beautiful and collectible watch of the 3

congratulations !
