What next.

So I want to get on the list for my next watch. But I知 very torn. Looking at the 5980R on strap vs the 5990 1A. I know they池e different but wanted opinions on both for those who have them.

Thanks James

I really like the 5980R but try one on first if you can, can be a bit top heavy for some.

He put my name down for both. He told me which ever comes in first. But most likely end of next year beginning of 2021. We will see.

Thanks again James

If you say no, I'll be there in case you need a replacement guy to take it off you.

For the both which I don't own, I'd go for 5990. Lighter, but thicker.

Can't make such a sale go to waste. May as well pass the torch to an TRF'er. I'll make sure I wear it in good health just like all my other watches (except the 5205G)
