The great thing about these two is that no one gives them a second glance - unlike my old theft magnet Rolex.

I have been trying to decide between the ALS Datograph and the 5172 as I want a manual chronograph for 2022. But since I got the 5320 and am really liking it, I would like to get its brother before it gets discontinued by Patek. My logic is that the Datograph will always be in ALS lineup and hopefully it may get downsized back to the original size which is the one I really loved since it came out 25 years ago.

And of course, the 5320 is just lovely. And it seems like it got more attention on this forum lately which is well deserved.
