I couldn't resist!

I was at my AD researching my next piece. I was very eager try on the PP 5205g. Loved the gray dial version but I was hesitant to pull the trigger since I also wanted to see the black dial version (which he didn't have). I was surprised that he had the 5711 in stock and the rest is history. The 5205 will have to wait

You did very well finding one, just waiting to be sold.

It was simply meant to be.

Like you said the 5205 will come again. :)
