Good luck
I know the feeling , love that reference

+1. I like option A here.

I am still undecided, so that has to be a good sign, that my resolve is strengthening

Resolve to stick with what you have...or to make the move...?

I voted stay with what your have...and I'd work towards turning the 5127 into the 5146 at some point. 5167 is a "keeper" IMO...and comes from a guy who doesn't say that often.

topcat30093 · 7 February 2017, 04:39 AM

Thanks Bill, thats what my AD said

pp5575 · 7 February 2017, 04:57 AM

Keep both. Don't do the trade.

One sport watch, one dress watch is a better decision.

Maybe keep 5167, trade 5127R for another dress watch in the future.

topcat30093 · 9 February 2017, 10:18 PM

Thanks Brian.
Upgrading the 5127 to a 5146 would imo be a good move.

topcat30093 · 14 February 2017, 08:00 PM

Well a spanner has been thrown right into the middle of my thinking.
On contacting a grey dealer to enquiry whether they had a R/G deployant.
They said that they didn't, but having bought from them twice before (5127R & 3940R) they informed me that they had just taken in a 3940J, would I be interested!

I have to admit, that the 3940, is probably my favourite Perpetual Calendar. And it was a sad day when, I had to sell it.

So, now I am in even more of a dilemma!

Amazing curve ball...I'd get the 3940

cinch · 15 February 2017, 05:14 PM

Definitely go for the 3940, I love mine.

Congrats on a great looking watch. Never noticed the light and dark on the 24 hour indicator, is that a reflection or is it really another shade?

topcat30093 · 19 February 2017, 03:24 AM

It's signifies the difference between Day & Night time.

Major Congrats Tony! The 3940 is such a timeless reference. I wish mine had the day and night indicator and cleaner days of the month but mine has elements of the 3940 and 5140. I honestly don't think this watch wears as small as people think. Wear it in good health my friend

BNA/LION · 19 February 2017, 04:41 AM

Keep both the 5127R & 5167A

topcat30093 · 19 February 2017, 04:47 AM

^^^^^
It's too late.
But believe that I have got something much better.

Thanks Martin, Mike & Stephen for your kind words

Nick, I shall do my best

Congratulations on the 3940

It is a great looking watch with the revered Patek PC pedigree. I think you made an excellent decision in getting the 3940 over an AC.

Enjoy your new watch
