I like it better than the white dial. I still don't like the bracelet.

Not bad but the 5960 is already common on store windows. They will need something better if you want to excite

Let's see, we can't sell the ones we have...let's slap a new dial in--that's get them moving.

Pass.

I was just at my AD today, they had no steel 5960's. I don't think I have seen one there since last spring. I am sure it is not the most popular SS model, the price is up there.

The black is nice but not in love with the bracelet either.

Black is nice but they really need to ditch the bracelet and launch it on strap imo

My AD has had the 5960 on the stand for over a year. Almost as bad as the 5170j which took more than a year to move.

Patek collector has some more predictions/info up - a 42mm aquanaut in white gold and a platinum 5170p with blue and black dials and diamond markers.

Dial colour change just doesn t help might be a shade of blue would be a more interesting choice.

I think it looks awesome

Trust me guys the bracelet grows on you and it's nice to have a steel watch with a different style bracelet from all the others out there

Hopefully they discontinued the original dial. 2 years of production only then!

Like it better than the white dial but need to see it in person. Still prefer the platinum versions. Yes, blue aquanaut on the way. Might be WG though.

Patek probably can do better by retiring the 5960 reference altogether and focusing on the newer 5905 reference.
