All things equal, i would agree.

But just fits small for my wrist.

And for some reason the arabic numerals are growing on me.

I even got a SkyD recently with arabic numerals.

Thanks. Nice piece.

If you ever decide to pull the trigger my Patek AD has great stock can put you in touch with them.

Thanks. The 5327J is available locally.

And taipei (where one of biggest AD is) nearer to manila than montreal.

I was almost set on the PP PC. But comments across all sub fora made me think and research more. Seems PP really leader in all grand complications.

Hardly any offering in AP and VC lineups for MR and Split Seconds.

If you want a perpetual calendar I would recommend the 5740G

I would save the PC for the VC overseas in rose gold with the white dial. For Patek I would do a minute repeater or split seconds. That leaves ap. Not sure what complication I would get from them.

5320 nice but the dial of the 5327/5140/3940 types appeal to me more.

Of the 3 I think the 5327

Nice. But not looking for a nautilus.

The 5327 wouldn't work for me as the Breguet numbers make the dial too busy for my taste. IMHO it looks as if the Breguets were introduced only to fill the empty dial space created around the subdials by upsizing to 39mm (while keeping the same 240 Q movement). No offense intended and to each their own of course.
