Interesting! Will you keep your 5980, when you get the 5990?

This is perhaps one of the reasons I didn’t bond with the 5524. I made a monumentally stupid mistake of selling my 5980 to get the 5524. I’d got a bit bored of the 5980 and there were a few things about it I didn’t like - not being able to read the chrono counter with my poor eyesight was one. It’s a big regret at the moment though.
So I got the 5524 as i fancied a change. I probably wouldn’t have kept the 5980 and the 5990, so maybe this disaster will work out in the end. |

5990 is a great piece and I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. My 5990 gets significantly more wrist time than the 5524G

I think what it was, I just realised it wasn’t my favourite Patek. There’s a couple of Nautilus models I’m getting, then who knows perhaps I’ll get another down the line, or maybe a pilot chrono if they ever make one.
