Visited an AD today, tried few pieces on, can't decide at this moment. Any opinion? Pros and cons? Suggestions? Thank you very much!

Find a 5990. A bit more than budget but worth it.

HOWEVER, the 5980 blue dial is quite nice as well

MP5 · 9 November 2014, 10:08 AM

No wrong answer here

stockjock1975 · 9 November 2014, 10:13 AM

Have to agree with the 5990 suggestion.

RussW · 9 November 2014, 10:16 AM

5980 or 5990

jameschang7116 · 9 November 2014, 10:16 AM

Ps: These are what I have now, including the 5711...

I'd get an annual calendar maybe, something dressy on a strap based on what you already have.

I agree with this after seeing your current watches. How about a 5396 or a 5205?

Vicente · 9 November 2014, 10:28 AM

5140 r for 74 k

goog53 · 9 November 2014, 10:36 AM

Based on your beautiful collection I'd go 5205 Black Dial (Jorge...this man needs pics asap)

Melvin_arnold · 9 November 2014, 11:00 AM

5726 would by my choice even though you can't really go wrong with any of them

gunrnnr · 9 November 2014, 11:04 AM

I agree with a few of the others, go with an annual calendar...5205G or R. Maybe even a 5396G or R?

+1 5205 black dial is the way to go I believe.

This!!!

kneedeep · 9 November 2014, 12:11 PM

You have 4 great dark dial watches. I'd take a look at the 5205R-001 to add a white dial dress watch. All the 5205 dials are great though.

soundserious · 9 November 2014, 12:22 PM

Agree w everyone here...strap watch! 5205 sounds perfecto.

GB-man · 9 November 2014, 04:46 PM

5205 or 5726 for me. Honorable mention to 5712r

CWIN · 9 November 2014, 05:21 PM

5205G

SearChart · 9 November 2014, 06:35 PM

5146, 5205, 5196p, 5164

lapince · 9 November 2014, 10:15 PM

I'd get the 5726 on bracelet like your pic, very useful complication AC, plus moonphase, something basically useless but that I love on Patek, the 5980 is nice except for the chrono window, much nicer when it is 1 tone with the dial. The problem with chronos is that you never use the function, so it's basically useless, except if you have a job or hobby that you need it for, but I guess that's quite rare.

I got the 5712 personnally, and I love it...

And if you go for dressy definitely a 5205G, black dial is just superb, but I'm not into dress watches myself though I find them beautiful...

kentheevil · 9 November 2014, 10:15 PM

I LOVE the two tone 5980 to me it's one of the best looking patek and not so popular too wonder why no one really discuss about it

JorgeCCW · 9 November 2014, 10:27 PM

Any dressy Annual Calendar will do, there is the classic Calatrava look of the 5396, the original look of the first AC 5146 (direct descendent) or the modern look of the 5205.

Here is my 5205R-010

Daytonaman799 · 9 November 2014, 10:50 PM

I'd go 5726. One of my real favorites. If not that then I would go 5205. It seems like you are a bracelet man and as a result I think 5726 wins hands down. Love the AC complications and the elegant lay out of the dial. No wrong choices here! Good luck and have fun.

imagereplitech · 9 November 2014, 11:26 PM

5205 only for dressy situation and 5726 would use for both formal and informal situation such as sport or working in the office. hence if you can buy only one AC, then without doubt will be 5026. however, 5205 is a very nice dress watch.

travisb · 9 November 2014, 11:41 PM

5990!!
Otherwise - 5980.

iazrollie · 9 November 2014, 11:44 PM

Do a 5205g or the 5130g, which I tried on below.

dr-go · 10 November 2014, 01:27 AM

5960/1a

AK797 · 10 November 2014, 02:11 AM

Well you got two pics of the 5980 so maybe subliminally that's what you really want. I think a 5205 or 5712R would be good choices.

mps354 · 10 November 2014, 02:35 AM

5726, but on leather strap given other pieces in your collection
