FWIW, I previously owned the 5035R, which I enjoyed for over a decade, sold it a couple of years ago and got the 5205R.
It's a little small by today's standards at 37mm, and wears smaller than that due to the somewhat wide and concave bezels (btw, the 5205 also wears small for its size for the same reason, but it's larger to begin with at 40mm and much more contemporary - the 5035 may appear somewhat dated these days).
I had a few mechanical issues with it, had to go in for service once, and later started losing time by 12-15 seconds per day. The lume didn't last long and never was bright to begin with - on the other hand, I dislike lume in general, in my experience lume generally doesn't keep luminosity very long in totally dark rooms e.g. in a movie theater, defeating the purpose. So I prefer solid hands/markers).
Price wise, I imagine it could hold its value reasonably well if purchased aggressively - probably not much upside as it's not a rare or "hot" piece, but limited downside.
Its successor, the 5146, would be a substantiually better watch - but at a much higher price, so maybe not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Hope that helps a little. Cheers.
