5270 vs 5204
I am torn between the 5270 and 5204. I have had both on my wrist and love them equally taking into account the price difference. What are some of your thoughts?

I prefer the 5270, it is as complicated as I would want, and the dial layout and hands reflect this.

I own the 5270 and to me it wears big. I wonder if the 5204 being roughly a mm smaller wears differently. I like the lume on the 5204 which to me makes it an all around watch. I doubt I would ever have any need for the split seconds function so that would not be an issue to me.

I also own the 5270 and have tried on the 5204 several times. IIRC the 5204 is slightly thicker than the 5270 due to the extra complication. The lume is a nice feature if you plan to wear the watch in low lighting.

The 5204 is a double assembled high grand complication, for me it wins on that alone and having tried on the black dialled platinum piece it is a beauty.
However, personally I would/did choose the 5370 over both. |

I tried the 5204 several times. It's too thick. The 5270, especially P, is just perfect. Size, thickness and legibility. My personal preference is the 5270 P.
