No Henri Stern Agency located at Rockefeller Center NYC. US ADs had invited guests treated to a tour a few weeks back. Very impressive as you might expect.

I think it is unlikely I follow through so don't want to falsely set expectations, but tempted. Some college bills to b paid

If you look at the scale by the date dial it dips to follow the curve of the dial. If you compare to the 5970 next to it you’ll see the scale breaks before the sub dial and then continues afterwards.

That particular dial on the 5270 had a very short production run.

Thanks for the clarification. So is the 5270 with the chin considered more desirable b/c of the short production run?

Most folks think it is relatively unattractive and make Jay Leno cracks. I am frequently reduced to tears.

Fewer of them but although I haven't checked I suspect less desired. I would defer to others on secondary value but didn't want anyone to worry about sparing my feelings.

Interesting...I'd be happy just to own a 5270...regardless of dial! Great collection.

More of a discount than you can expect on the 5711 1p Nautilus. It only goes for about $50-75k over msrp. If you can find one.
