Interesting Video on PP5170P vs. Omega

I just happened upon this, and while the title sounds like a troll post, it is anything but.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT9r...s_digest-vrecs

I found it interesting, and thought a few of you might also.

Yeah, I knew the title looked like it was going to be a PP bash/troll kind of video, but it isn't!

Maybe I should show it to my wife and see if she suggests a 5170P ("Hey, you don't have any chronos with diamonds on the dial. Go for it!")?

Worth a shot! It’s gorgeous!

Great video. I thought when it was done I was going to have to get rid of all my Patek watches and start buying simpler watches. I was wrong, now I want a 5170P!

I love Watchfinder UK's review videos. Always very thorough, in-depth and balanced. Makes me appreciate picking up a Speedy, but at the same time, also has me wanting a 5170P.

I love this watch / if i wasn’t so fickle I’d make a run at it. I’m just too scared of being stuck with it 60 days later if it doesn’t fit me well - bony wrist, deployant, small wrist etc

they have great videos of late. This one on the 5524 also is quite interesting and doesn't end in the way you would think after seeing the beginning.

Glad y'all liked it! I can't add any knowledge of PP here, but figured this might be of interest.

Bump. I think this is the video that Sansui was alluding to.
