I like the 5, but like the 6 more. I am rough on my watches so having the ceramic bezel sold me. The old 5 would be scratched quickly and drive me nuts. Would like to own the Blue dial YM, but it scratches too easily. I am less OCD about the case or braclet getting scratched. The 6 digit braclet is so much better than the 5 and the glidelock is such a wonderful feature. Beautiful duo of each reference.

An incredible collection would be ... if you kept both sets! How cool would that be?! If I could only keep one of your sets ... without question, it would be the modern 6 digits. I don't really like vintage at all. Having said that, again, I do think having both sets would be absolutely incredible. |

I love the durability of the ceramic and the more substantial bracelets, but hate the out of proportion (IMHO) lugs.

I like both 5 and 6 digits but I would say I prefer the 6 digits for the same reason the OP said. The new bracelets make going back to the old bracelets really difficult. The 6 digits have a more premium feel to them. The 5 digits still have the charm and there is plenty to love but picking between the 2 it goes to the 6 digits.
Here's my mixed collection. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk
