Looking good. Just wondering why you let go of the 5205r and whether you prefer this to that?

Oh boy where do I start....I will let u all my thoughts but if you gonna skip to the conclusion, this is it : "IMHO the best overall choice for any kind of AC in Patek is 5146G" ..........when I read statements like this on the forum and the person saying owns the watch, I just start thinking " sure you are gonna say that " but I assure you I am being as honest as I can.

Here is some rationale:
My 1st AC was the 5146G (grey slate dial), I don't think I appreciated and didn't know shit about watches (but I though I did ..Lol) , I still don't ...anyway my second AC was the 5960P. Then I needed the money and thought well, I can downgrade to a regular AC, but if I am gonna downgrade it will be a hot AC...and that's how I bought the 5205R black dial , hot watch ...down sides were : no dress down abilities, legibility, no PR, no lumen. Any how then after awhile I thought well the reasons I got rid off the 5960P were financial so let's get it back ....so I trade in the 5205R for the 5960P again (2nd 5960P) ...
All that shanigans just to come back to my original 5146g , why? .., I think is the best choice for this reasons: 1) Subdials on Patek is one of the strongest things on Patek DNA (is so Patek) and my previous rationale was : I like the Windows is more modern and easier to read , I can tell you that statement is half wrong : cuz yes is more modern but I can assure you that I can tell the day, date and month from a farther distance with my 5146g cream dial than my previous Windows versions and even my old no window version (5960p, 5205g,5146g grey dial ) 2) Monphase and power reserve complications combo in the same watch , I never used the chrono on the 5960P (lil hard to read) and hated the fact that didn't have a second hand for the time !! ( that bothers me but not a lot of people so that's more personal than a real reason ) 3) ability to dress down (therefore I use it way more) 4) Price: best bang for you buck on AC Patek (u get so much) : you feel like you got a deal ! 5) Lumen , night time I always can tell the time no matter the lighting conditions. 6) I felt that the 5960P is an expensive watch but it's not aging well in the sense of value retention so I thought if I am gonna have a watch that cost that much , I would rather have a Patek Chrono (the 5070, is the watch in my head now : currently struggling with that idea)
7) love the calatrava buckle that the 5146g comes with, true I could of buy it for my previous 5205R but I usually don't mess with changing the original idea of Patek design (Patek didn't went with the calatrava buckle on that one because they are giving you a more modern Patek, I think) 8) size I think 39mm is right on with Patek DNA, actually collectors can argue that is too big but f..., 39mm is as small as I am gonna go. And finally 9) cream/white dial is a more classic dial color on Patek than the grey slate dial (although is very nice, I bought once for a reason) of my original 5146g

Hope I didn't bored you

Cheers !
