Anyway I am not familiar with Caliber CH 29‑535 PS, but is it the same movement on 5370P? I have heard that watches under Grand Complication would receive better hand finishing? But if 5172/5170 share the same movement to 5170, are they equally well finished?
Lastly, is the price difference between 5172 (new) and 5170 (preowned) significant?

Go for the 5170p. The size is a fantastic combination of classic and modern. And given the thickness and size, it wears elegantly and sporty. The watch is superb. [emoji106]
And the movement fits perfectly in the case.
