Popped into Geneva Salon for 5320 and 5131P

I wanted to have a quick look at some strap options for the 5320 and I am glad I saw the watch again. Think it's absolutely gorgeous. I think you will be intrigued by the strap choice which I will post in September

I went into the salon with every intention to hate the bracelet on the 5131P. In fact I was convinced that it needed to go on a strap!! Gotta admit I was wrong. The watch us really gorgeous and the weight is significant. It feels even heavier than my 5711P.

Wow! The 5320 is sweet. I love the syringe hands and those numerals. And those lugs...

Thanks for sharing photos of these great looking watches! I really like the arctic enamel dial of the 5131/1P

Hope you can get the 5320 before the UK price increase.

Congrats My Friend. Now that is a nice looking wooden box! Wanfu would approve. How does it smell?

I am pleased to see there is no chemical smell but there is no. Town travel box which I found disappointing. However as Kari and his wife delivered it in a supermarket packet I decided I didn't actually need to keep it!

Congratulations! I assume it is well worth the wait!

When will you open it?? Is there another thread somewhere?

Great photos, and I've said it a few times, the 5131/1p needs to be on a bracelet. It's the finishing touch to an amazing watch. The ne plus ultra of all 5131s.

The box is opened and watch being worn. It's really hard to photograph so to do it done justice will do that when I return home today. Some members (friends) have seen it and whilst KV aesthetically isn't to everyone's taste ...I am delighted.

Perfect! I look forward to an incoming at some point - unfortunately I will only get to see this beauty on the wrist of others. 😰😰
