I think the photos here are fine. As we know the photos can be deceiving making something look more or less attractive than it really is... like people too

Plenty on my Instagram....posting pictures too much hassle with all this sizing stuff

I love it, I think it is wel balanced and looks beautiful. As for functionality, it is difficult to beat the 5164. Here is a shot



when you talk about readability, there is always worse in the 5575G. Still an amazing watch

I got this one pretty early on and love it.
Very legible and elegant and sporty.
It's a stunner

[Tony@KopiGau]

This is a nice shot too

5930 just like other PP worldtime is not a good tool in summer for your travel or con calls with partners around the world. It does not handle DST so it is going to cause some confusion for sure. e.g. in HK trying to figure out US west coast time or the opposite.

and the chrono function, featuring a small dial with only 30 mins often comes short for many activities I timed. You gotta remember how many rounds it has run.

despite these two imperfection, i love it. these are nothing compared to its beauty. TS said in an interview this 5930 targets younger crowd starting... 20. emm anyways, 5930 is part of PP's effort to develop interest among younger generations, legibility is not the most concerned but the combination of world time and chrono for the first time for a production model, underneath a versartile and vivid hand-guilloched dial that shows from dimmed blue to an amazingly bright blue in different lights.

superb photos from previous posts by various gentlemens.

Exactly! The DST confusion is the reason that I hesitate to pull the trigger on worldtime watches...

Discussed ad nauseum in various threads. If you require a WT not for its horological intrigue but fully functional work then you need a VC that has all the time zones including the half hour countries like India. Dial becomes cluttered.

Just like you have to change the hour hand on your watch when DSL changes so I remember that when looking for the time in London - look at Paris and time in Paris look at th next country. I am not terribly bright and I manage it quite well....I find the WT a significantly better complication that a moon phase and a chrono. But each to their own!

Honestly I do not need the WT function but it is nice to have such a piece and like you said i can easily adjust to London/Paris for DSL etc. I did get a chance to see the 5930G in person last week and did really like it. The chrono minute hand is small and not the easiest to see but the blue dial and general layout was very appealing. The watch was not as comfortable as I might have thought for a 39mm but instead of using the last whole-- the sales rep suggested a short strap might make it feel a bit different.
So i am considering it vs a Voutllainen vs Gronefeld... vs just waiting a bit.

Bump... Curious if OP got one, and any further impressions...AD has one and it was stunning in person...

Truly beautiful in the metal and on the wrist, but the complications don’t really make sense to me. But again, beautiful beautiful beautiful.
