In full sun, is a bit harsh... That is also the case with the G, but it is more noticeable with the P. Now, this is something I could live with. Under a grey sky, it is just.. Beautiful! Best, Nicolas

... beside the beauty of the dial, the platinum case plays a lot in its success. Wide step bezel, shiny platinum,... I've realized when putting it next to the 5270G blue dial, which have a grey gold case. Not the same effect at all. Here's a pics where th...
