Thanks! Your 5370p is a beautiful watch, you did well there! I loved it when I tried it on, but it was a little too big for me.

I have not seen the watch but in the photos it look flat and dull to me. White gold hands and accents could have lightened up the whole look.

I think the numerals on top add balance to the dial since there is a lot on the bottom of the dial. I had the G-019 and the R-001, and while both are nice, I felt they were a bit sparse on the top. The numerals addressed that.

As for the color of the hands and hour makers, this is a watch that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Pictures look very different than the actual watch. Cheers.
