Just wanted to share

I am in love with my 5070, pictures do not do this watch justice. I felt that my AP 26401 would be end all however this watch just feels right.

Great addition! You should know by now, the only end all watch is the "next" one. For me, as long as I can afford the next one, there always will be the next one; although, once we start collecting these pieces, affordability becomes a problem fast!

That 5070 is a beautiful watch, Alex, and that is such a great pair! Maybe (Likely) there will be a next one, but you certainly have two watches that should make you very happy for a long time!

The funny thing is how different those pieces are, yet as a pair in a collection or as a collection themselves they work together perfectly.
