Thoughts on the 5140G
Curious on owner experiences with the 5140, particularly the G white gold model? I know most prefer the 3940 but like that the case size is slightly larger.
Thanks |

I love mine, I was able to buy one at an AD in Singapore years after it was discontinued.
My wrist is on the small side and the 5140G fits me very well. Pic in the thread below and comparison with 5196G https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=706507 |

Out of curiosity do the squished numbers bother you? They don't bother me but i know that is a gripe with many collectors. |

Can’t get over the distorted date numbers that ruin it for me. 3940 is my choice. Only 1mm difference in diameter, right?

But if you want a white metal PC, the 5140G is an excellent choice. Try to get a complete set with a Patek wonder and a second caseback if you can. |

The 5140G I have my eyes on is actually NOS. Complete set winder, caseback, setting pin, papers etc. |

Ended up pulling the trigger. Had a custom strap I had made by PP for a 5227 that I no longer own which fits this model perfect.
What a watch! |
