Response to Overall impressions so far

I wonder if my impressions will be unbiased? PP is not my favourite brand, not sure if I have one, so i just look at each model on a standalone and decide

1) Seems odd that there is an annualar with a repeater. nothing wrong just seems odd to me. Patek does like their annual complication so not surprising i guess
2) 5396 I like the layout of the new annual calendar but not sure I like the style. As a note I dont really like the look of the 5296 (too many sectors/rings). However, in Suitbert's "live" non-CAD pictures, the new watch does loook better, so wait for the metal
3) 5130 World Timer, still undecided. I actually like the quirky hour hand and its link to an older historical watch helps. also a more spaced out city ring is also better. Still not sure if everything all fits together as I like, so again will wait to see in the metal.
4) The others are nice but nothing grabs me, just different metals or dial colours or slightly larger case.

So the watches I do love from recent PP (without thinking about the uber complications) are 5050/5059, 3970/5970, 5056, 5053
