First Patek from AD: 6007G or 5227G?

[WatchYoSelf]

This would be an everyday wear piece. I’d describe my personal style as very casual (think hoodie and Nike running shorts). Thank you for your help!

6007G is a more casual piece for sure.

Yeah, tried on the 6007G the other day and it felt “right.” My concerns are that the dial isn’t hand stamped. And that the watch may be trendy.

I wonder if the 5227G is a better, timeless and classic piece.

I’d get the 5226 or 5326 for me the perfect balance of modern but not trendy even though the more I look at the 6007 the more I like it but $40k is just hard to swallow for me

5227 seems like the exact opposite and may be too classic

I agree if I was looking at these Id go with the 5226 but that wasn't one listed.

I’ll go 6007g ,is way more interesting that the other choices in my eyes.
I hate the 5522 and the 5226 reminds me of it.
5227 is super classic , so classic that I don’t won’t pass the test of time on my wrist . lol
My 2 cents

I absolutely love the 5226G, but get the impression it wears big. My wrist is 6.75 inches. As far as sizing goes, Rolex Daytonas hit the sweet spot. The 6007G felt in line with that Daytona-like fit.

My wrist is same size and the 6007 and 5226 wore the same on my wrist. Both are nice but I went with the 5226 for reasons you indicated about the 6007 feeling trendy. 5227 was too dressy for my taste when deciding on a more casual watch. I also tried on the 6119 but did not like the way it wore on my wrist.

Didn’t feel that it wears big imo felt great for me

This is super helpful. I also tried on the 6119 about a year ago and had the same reaction. Wasn’t expecting it to feel like an AP Offshore, but it seemed almost too light and delicate.

Looks perfect. What’s your wrist size?

8 inches so pretty big and yes it’s on my list to get next but 45k is kinda pricey honestly- now debating the new 5230P / 5172g preowned for a bit more or 5524 instead - frankly can’t make up my mind
