I just order handmade with 1/5 price over retail. Dark matte blue or grey will fit well

I see. You just ordered locally then. Blue does look great with the 5320G as many here have recommended.

Good question man! Thank you
I did research about PC and here is the outcome (in my opinion).
5327 : too busy dial, size small
5159: discontinued, too small
5270...: Pc vs chronograph is too expensive, out of reach
Not many choice for PC around. At first time it came to AD I did not really like, but it keep growing in my mind. And finally, you see, the syringe hands are good for a doctor like me^^. Lastly, why retail? Because I dont like my son use another name watch, if he likes it:))

Beautiful watch, probably my PP grail.
The only thing I would maybe change are the tiered lugs, think I would prefer plain ones but how do you find them in person.
Congrats.

i actully liked it since it was released.
the mix between vintage and modern look is really beautiful. and when i heard that it was Thiery Stern own project i knew it was going to be a future collectable (just like the 3940 did with his dad).
i always notice what Thiery Stern wears on interviews and i've noticed him wearing it several times even years after it was intorduced. made me love it more.
what i like about it the most is that it has true patek PC DNA the two appeature windows, the central seconds, the round date display and moonphase, the summetry between leap year indicator and day-night indicator. it's just perfect and i believe will be timeless.
i like the 5327 but i believe it has shorter history (3940, 5140).
the 5159 luggs didn't speak to me.
i would love to get myself a 5270 but it is a little expensive true.
i am getting mine from the AD, i want my name on the certificate of origin
too :)

the only con to the 5320G is that from a distance (and for non-patek expert) it looks a little bit like the 5146G (which i already have in my collection)

You are falling into it! Haha. I noticed everything you said about its potential future. The only complain of it that I found out after research is the price and the poor movement (in terms of PC line up). Price will be no problem sooner or later with rountine price increasing of Patek. Movement: maybe it is lower than its level should be but we mostly use watch to show the dial not the back (not like ALange). Someone said with that amount of money we can buy many other beauty...yes it is...but not a PC one especially in hype period of SS sport model. Imagine a PC is equal to a SS Nautilus!
The strap will do all the difference in the age of 40s like me

I think it makes the watch more modern and younger look

Actully i paid for my 5320G on 7th of Feb and expect delivery in late May/early Jun. It is my 40th birthday gift to myself :)
so i'm with you that a nic PC on a beautiful strap is really cool (i also do have the 5712 but prefer the 5320)

the movement is noting i complain about, because it has central seconds which i really like. i love to see my watch moving and alive.

It seems like everyone likes a blue strap on this watch. I wonder if the 5172 blue calf strap would fit?
