Idk if I like the greenish strap or if I want to look away. It kinda looks really good but then it doesn’t :’D.

You might want to get your eyes checked (seriously) - you may be colour blind. As stated, it's a grey strap but if you're seeing it with a green hue (like me) then you may be colour blind (like me).

Haha :D sorry green was the wrong word. I see it as a very very light turquoise, but didn’t know the correct word for that, thus why I used greenish :).

Amazingly beautiful strap and works so well with the watch. This is my zizac one, somewhat similar. I think it's out of stock now, was a 21mm 16mm but probably you could choose a 21mm and 18mm and cut it down slightly. Apologies if a repost, I can't remember if I posted it here or another thread.

Is there a consensus on which is the more popular model, RG or SS?

Side by side I genuinely can’t decide which I prefer. I thought I preferred RG but not so sure after seeing this:

But then I come back to this one...

Patek Philippe made the 5227G in black dial and ivory.. Patek Philippe made only the 5296G in ivory dial, which ZF mastered to be honest. I do not see ZF going out of their ways to create and manufacture a fantasy dial (black) on the 5296. it makes no sense to me.

by the way, rumors out that the 5227G-001, 5296Gs and 5296Rs will be discontinued by PP this year.. among many other references of course.

I've ordered one from Ryan but had to turn it down several times because the 6 o'clock index is consistently shifted to the right.

Ryan's QC dept confirmed with the factory that all current models have this issue... so I will be going with a different rep instead.

Sad :(

you were probably told this because it is not lucrative for them to deal with this kind of pickiness. Maybe you should give it a try... Come on it is "handmade" - even the gen ;)

No longer a rumor:

Just received mine. Wow. This is a beauty and the DW is just fcking perfect, Wow. Stunning rep, absolutely stunning. Somehow sits more like a 39-40mm watch (IMO) if anyone has doubts about the 38mm size
