The blue dial watches have been popular over the past 10 years. However in my opinion, the silver dial is still the most classic. As for deciding between WG vs RG, it is a personal preference, although I prefer the WG.
Between the 5270 and the 5961P, I would say the 5270 is more of a classic perpetual calendar chronograph. It will have its rightful place following in the footsteps of the 1518, 2499, 3970 and 5970.
The 5961P is a niche market watch because of the diamond baguettes. It will be a good watch to add for a collector as yourself who owns many rare watches. However if you can get an allocation of the 5271P, I would recommend that watch over the 5961P.
Going back to the 5270, if you can see the different metals and dials in person, it will be helpful in your decision.

Thank you for your opinion. I do not like to travel very much. My problem is I never see most watches before I decide to buy from Jamie. I always buy from catalog. Sometimes, it is hard for me to decide what model to buy, besides 5131, 5575, and 7175.
By the way, I am getting my 5131R soon. I am very happy.
I prefer auto winding, but most chronograph are manual winding. 5961P has auto winding funfion. I like 5270 the newest version layout a lot.
