Ahh....incoming
I got rid of my Datograph earlier this year and I really miss having a manual wind chrono. I love the idea of the 5170 but I couldn't fall in love with any of the previous versions. Then the 5170p came out and I really liked it but had reservations about the diamond markers. Saw it in person and actually like the diamonds; subtle and the shine helps with legibility. Have a great weekend, my friends!

Which one do you prefer now that you owned both? I’m torn between up/down and this one. Thanks.

I had the first generation Dato. I prefer the feel of the Dato's winding and feel of the pushers. Overall, I like the 5170p more due to the dial and thin profile.

It’s a beauty. You seem to have changed the strap to a blue one?

Thanks. Yes, it's a Patek blue shiny strap.
