5270s...

...make me want to consolidate my collection so I can buy one without triggering a divorce!

Had the chance to put the p and the g on my wrist today, back to back. Near-perfection. Left me speechless.

Did it feel a bit too big? I haven't tried it but it looks quite large where the lugs are almost overhanging the wrist.

Sounds like a fair deal to me ... your generosity is much appreciated -
Hope you don’t mind if my kids visit.
I swear they are cute and well-behaved.

I was surprised how well they fit and how balanced the weight was, particularly the plat. Felt perfect despite the 41mm size. For reference my wrist is ~6.75in.

I would second this, my wrist is also 6.75 and expected it to be a bit big but when I tried it in Geneva it didn’t come across as too big at all (for reference my other watches are between 36-40mm)

Not at all- though muted colors, the silver had a faint blue hue and all together it was striking... but not as striking as the salmon P.

Appreciate your impressions, as I haven't handled it in person and always wondered that.

Just recently I decided to consolidate the collection and sold off 3 to purchase one. The best decision I have made in a long time. The other 3 got little wrist time and the new one I can't seem to take off.

I would only do this if the newer piece will have as much or more wrist time.

I love the 5270 p....strongly considering a discussions with my AD. Dilemma is that I need to try this on before I commit. I also have about a 6.75” wrist and have always been concerned about the size.

I Will be in London this year so ma6 have to pop by Bond Street. I suspect there will be some available from the greys.
