Just thinking... a new 5172r could be introduced this year at Baselworld. I have no information on this and this is just my hunch.

Not sure it would impact your decision at all but I thought worth mentioning!

It's all personal, obviously. For me, I'd sit on the 5712R.

All are great; depends on price and watch conditions;
now it is good time to buy. Just pick one that you would wear most.
I heard the Thailand Hospital has found a cure for corona virus epidemic ;
within 2 - 3 months everything in China will be business as usual.

The WHO is investigating Thailand case and stock market rebounded; just wait a few more weeks ; with current low interest - be cautious it is good time to look around picking your desired watches according to your budget.
Invest in stock , property or watches all looks promising once again.

I prefer the 70. To me it’s just a little more elegant. The 72 is a bit sportier to me, being a bit bigger.
