If you’re considering a PC (5320), you may probably get rid of the 5396. Let the 5167 go as well. You will end up with an awesome collection: 5968, 5320, 5524, 5711.

Why are you following the herd? What do you know about Patek Philippe. Explore all the models. No one but other lemmings will say, ohhh, ahhhhh. Buy what you like. Undisputed sports watch is the Rolex submariner.

In all honesty I will keep what you have , and would say no to 5320 and 5968. That’s me , and probably not a popular choice here but that’s my opinion. If anything I would swap the 5396g for the 5320.

I also prefer your current line up. However if the others are more intriguing then make the moves.

If you are set on getting the 5968, then I’d sell the 5167. Though honestly I prefer your current lineup

I do appreciate the feedback, and honestly I love my mine up as there is a bit of everything in there , I also have no reason to sell unless I grabbed a pc and the 5320 is the one I like,

As for the 5968, I asked and was offered it, it is lovely on the wrist

i contemplated the 5320 for a long time but found that i have no real need for a dress watch - and if then it should be a PCC, read 5270P. the PC's seem temporary solutions (i.e. buy, wear for a while and sell).
