Platinum Incoming: 5130p

I found a BNIB 5130P and couldn't be happier.

Many thanks to those who offered advice and answered many of my questions.



Picture taken at HSWA - wonderful people, great service, and an overall pleasant experience.

Whilst not in this league I sold my 5130G in June to make way for the 5930. I bought another 5130G at the end of June as I missed it so much. Now i know it's a keeper! Moscow in the wrong place, Riyadh on the dial and all that!

And don't forget it doesn't account for daylight savings either...but I'm okay with that! It makes it more special in some twisted way?!?!

Very happy with the dial - the guilloche dial is so interesting. I briefly tried this watch on once before, about 5 months ago, so I'm very happy that it lives up to my past impression. I picked it up today and cut the seal, breathed in some Geneva air, and was the first to touch it.
