Im HOPING this latest purchase (5007 RG/Ardoise) will calm my senses and put out the cash fires that are burning holes in my pockets...

I can't seem to decide what dial or metal colour I should go for. I do know I want it on a brown gator strap when I get it though. Is there anyone who have been through this dilemma that could give me their opinion? The ones I've been able to narrow it down to are the 5007 in the following variations: RG white dial, RG ardoise dial, SS black dial, SS white dial /w gold markers.

Not sure if this helps, but I went with the 5007-05 and love it!
That's gorgeous. I'm in the same boat as the poster you replied to. I haven't bought one because I can't decide on a colour.
I think I'm going to end up with 3 - white dial/ blue numbers, dark grey dial/ rose gold case and black dial with silver numbers.

I like those you mentioned and I'll probably get them all. I'd take out ss case with gold markers since at second thought it doesn't feel perfect to me

Your watch looks great! Initially the blue markers didn't appeal to me, however they're definitley growing on me.
I'd love to get several, however I try to narrow down my collection as I know the one I like more will get more wrist time than the others. I actually try to avoid having too similar styles even. As I prefer wearing watches on a bracelet I actually planned for this watch to be my only on leather in my collection, at least for now.
As I mentioned above, I'm trying to avoid getting several as I want a diverse collection where every piece get the attention they deserve. It's great to have many variations to choose from, as everyone is different. I do actually gravitate more to the SS with gold markers as the design and colours are timeless and elegant, and what I especially like is how the gold markers adds that extra touch making it stand out to me.
I love it! May I ask where you got your strap?

Wow it really pops with the blue strap. Where did you source it? StrapViet?

Haha no no, this quality is miles beyond strapviet. It's a custom strap from ABP Paris.
Does someone has experience with the 7days from JF. My TD recommended it, but I could not find any information about these JF versions.

No, it's real alligator, not imitation. You can check them out for yourself: http://www.abp-paris.com/abpw/watch_straps_index.php
