5980 without a doubt, the blue dial with the gold is absolutely stunning.

interesting. i thought i'd be slammed for asking the question:::)))) a bi-color nautilus chronology (out of fashion?) against a model with more complications......hmmmmm...surprise!!!!
i personally have a slight preference for the 5980AR but i am a it worried that i will not be able to sell it in the future because of two tone. possibly the 5960G is collector material. |

1) the 5960 does not have a hardcore fan base. 2) the 5980 has a hardcore fanbase and the two tone blue dial is exceptional, even tough two tone is Beverly Hills 90210 Jason Priestley style. |

I'm not sure everyone knows that the 5960 1A is the new white gold blue dial on brown calf strap with pin buckle. You should post pictures.

The new 5960 is a huge improvement but it's still a bit like putting lipstick on a pig

Out of the two I'd go for the 5980AR. The combo of the blue dial with the gold works really well.

thanks to all for the thoughtful replies! i have decided to go with the 'neither' fraction:::))) in fact, today i gave a downpayment for a 5235G regulator-AC. the watch is in the shop already and i shall pick it up first thing upon my return to austria at the end of october:::))) i like the esthetics of the 5235 and the fact that it exhibits a sense of humorism as it challenges one (a bit) in reading the time:::))))
btw, on this five week trip i have left my two pateks at home and took the rolex GMT2 batman along as a beater with dual timezone function. so far, i am pretty happy with the rolex but miss the pateks. |
