Another vote for 5980, in blue (although they also came in black and white).
Mine:

Fits nicely on my 7.5" wrist. Give it a try if you can find it.

Looks fantastic, I'm pleased to say there is a PP event coming to my nearest dealer in November. They should be brining along lots from their collection, so hopefully I will be able to try out everything - hopefully that will make it easier to decide & buy a watch & not difficult to buy only ONE watch!

I would say this one...

The 5980R has that younger feel, sporty but at the same time you can wear with a suit aswell as shorts and T shirt...

Oh I really love that!

Great pic too, makes me feel I deserve a holiday from these cold British Isles

I saw the 5205G yesterday and it suited pretty well, I certainly wouldn't want to go any smaller though. Hoping to see the 5205R black dial shortly, it certainly looks like it could be 'the one'!

The 5205 is a great modern piece, especially in rose gold with black dial. i suggest adding a few thousand and also getting the clasp with Calatrava cross design. Otherwise it only comes with the pin buckle.

Managed to see the rose gold today - but not with the black dial unfortunately. However, seeing it made me sure the rose gold / black will be the one. Today it was on a pin buckle and I definitely see that the Calatrava (clasp?) will be a worthwhile upgrade.

It's a bit more expensive than I had originally planned, but going to trade in my YG GMTII, so may as well go the whole way! I can see myself keeping it a long time.
