Wow really looks stunning on you sir. The black dial 5227g is harder to source, at least where I’m from

The thing is I don’t have any RG watches at the moment. So I’m leaning towards the RG

i plan to keep 5227 (if i end up buying one) long term and pass it down to my son sometime. But because its preowned, the Cert has someone else's name on it, which really bothers me.

Buying a new one will cost me a bomb.

Decisions decisions

no engraving yet, in lack of a nice motif. i guess engraving has to be done on the outside of the bottom cover, you don't want to loose the beautiful mirror surface on the inside.
forget about the certificate, no reason to worry about it. you wear the watch not the certificate:::)))

If you are contemplating a 5205R, I would go with the black dial. But that's just personal preference and of course go with what sings to YOU more. Beautiful 5164A, by the way - congrats in advance for the Patek duo.
