5196R for example....if price was not an object for me 5227R-001 beautiful, but a bit too steep, unless i trip and fall at a walmart !
I know there is alot of knowledge here about theses lines so all suggestions are welcome.
Does that help?

I say go for the calatrava. It’s a watch that I’d say is more versatile, comes from an uber iconic brand and could be a safer bet when it comes to value retention (if that matters to you)
I see the recommendation of the 5196 which I’d suggest too but also the 6119 in either configuration if you can make it work financially. Although some will say the 6119 is too big but it’s all a matter of opinion. I’m a fan and think the size works on my 7.5in wrist and also love the hobnail bezel.
