Thanks everyone for the answers!
Even if I love the 5970, I am tempted by the 5270 1st series.. You can now find great deals and you are buying the first watch with in-house built movement.. I think that in the long-run collectible wise just this will pay-off Unfortunately I have quite a big wrist and the 3970 is definitively too small |

I have a 5070P, and the one watch I've seen that I "may" like more
Is a 5970R. I like that more than the 5270s and more than the 5970P. |

Some people like it for a central sweep seconds. I'm not particularly a fan myself, but each to his own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5970 has great balance.
The price is high vs msrp...how high will they go! Or will wearing it negatively impact your resale experience? Classic and beautiful movement. Great size. 5270 , not quite as good balance but more legible (imho) (variations among dials considered) Price can be found fairly well discounted which should leave room for future appreciation. In house movement nice power reserve. Sized with more modern aesthetic.
