I made a mistake
And tried on a black dial 5170. Now I’m thinking about which watches to move around.
The only one I’m ready to get rid of is my 116520. It’s hard to strike a balance between quality and quantity. |

I hate when that happens. I try to avoid trying watches at all until im ready to buy. Its more abstract when its pics. Once its on, its hard to walk away.

I wouldn't sell the Daytona for the 5170 for simple reason, residual value, Daytona is like money in the bank but 5170 will get a big hit in value. So unless you are 100% sure that same situation will not be repeated soon with another watch, I suggest sticking to the Daytona.

I mean I’ve been very fortunate to see and strap on a lot of great watches. For some reason, Whenever I saw a 5170, I never put it on before though.
It felt very much at home on my wrist. My collection is full of brand staples too, 5711, 15202, lange 1, etc. so selling any for a 5170 is a tough decision. |

You should also wait for the more knowledgeable PP guys to chime in on the 5170. It's a watch that sells for a material discount new, more so used. That might be important to understand if another $50k in watches gets you to that point where residual value is a consideration. If $50k is okay money then just buy it. |

This is amazing. What you guys are talking about. It happens to me all the time. It is very bad. We must be content with out collections for a little while at least. It must be some kind of watch sickness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's easier if you don't live near any ADs. I only get into London a few times a year now, but if I was there most days, then temptation would be very hard to resist.

Great watch but as others said it is soft and the black has legibility issues. The white gold hands disappear into the black dial in low light. The 5370 has luminous hands. Much better.
