1) no real difference, the 5146 sits higher off the wrist and the 3940 with its slimmer case is a great fit.

2) 6 ¾

3) Sadly not

3940 without hesitation

CWIN · 31 March 2016, 12:36 PM

Love the 3940. A classic size for a classic watch. 37mm will be perfect for your 6.75" wrist. Much prefer it aesthetically over the 5146.

explorer42 · 5 April 2016, 06:07 AM

Definitely the 5146 for me! That cream dial is sublime.

nyc2la · 5 April 2016, 06:20 AM

What else is in your collection?

In any event, between those two, the 3940 without a doubt for me. The watch is a great size with a slim profile; it's perfect for business casual up to very dressy. The perpetual calendar in such a slim case is a marvel, just superb.

THank you

topcat30093 · 19 April 2016, 06:53 AM

Huge congratulations

Without doubt you have made the right decision :thumbs:

It suits your wrist perfectly.

And yes, unless you would like to get a MR or a Tourbillon

All this talk of Patek Philippe, is giving me the itch to get one

Thank you, I am very happy with it. It was definitely the right decision

Well if you're in the market for a 5146 then check TZ, there's a lovely one on Sales Corner

Yes and no, the 3940 definitely feels like the one for me but I will be sorry to see the 5146 move on.

The black face 5146 is a real work of art and it's definitely my fav, but the 3940 is also beautiful so enjoy it in good health!

I just recently chose the 5146.

Totally fell in love with the 5146P - I was leaning toward trying to find a 5960P but kept coming back to the the 5146 - the dial is just amazing and clean!!

GREAT CHOICE gents!

Many congs, def the right and classy choice.

Old thread, but would be interested to see if time changed the feeling.

I own the 5146G and am thinking of a 3940G.

I grew a bit tired of the 5711 hype and given current prices I could trade it for a really nice PP, the 5170 and 3940 are on that list.

Any input?

nyc2la · 3 May 2020, 03:58 AM

3940 over 5146

Which 5170 are you considering?

Considering the white gold version. Love the black but I guess legibility sucks, so white dial with the pulsometer.

Used to own a Lange 1 Darth and could never read the time!

The 5146 would stay, the 5711 is the one considering to put on the chopping block.

AC and PC might be too much (but I do love the 3940), they're a pain to set. That's why I think the 5170 is great to pick up, wind, set and wear in a minute.
