5140p for me. Masculine sporty and incredible thinness all in one. Plus, platinum, and the blue colors will allow you to wear it with pretty much anything...

I personally prefer the 3940 style to the 5140 so this one is off my list. Besides, I tried the 5159J myself and loved it, it has a great presence on the wrist and looks incredible.

In my opinion 5140. The blue sings to me.

I like the slimness of the 5140 and the blue dial of the P version really stands out. The proportion and the thickness of the 5159 seemed a bit off to me, but it is still a nice watch. The retrograde date feature is a special feature of the 5159.

There is a 5140G on "the list" right now for an exceptionally low price, but I love the platinum version not the WG. If it were the platinum version at a near 40% off, I'd buy it...

Thank you Q!
BTW, your take on this timepiece is spot-on. All the niggles that people complain about e.g., too cluttered, too shiny, too blue, yada, yada disappear the second you put this watch on your wist. Then it's just... AHHHH!!!! |

It is interesting to me, and I'm guessing it is the color combos, but the WG version does look crowded to me compared to the Pt version (though not badly...).

I appreciate everyone responses. Trying to decide sometimes is a lonely job. The 5140P catches my eye and sticks. The dial has a lot going on and somehow remains pure. IT is next on my list! Thanks.

A vote for the 5159 here. I've always liked that reference, but wish it'd be a little larger.

The 5140 it's too small at 37mm!? And too much going on the dial for its size?

Seems like the 5159 isn't very popular.
