My AD has offered me these brand new at retail price. The 5960 is discontinued as we know. Which would you buy if it was your money?
All opinions appreciated, thanks.

AJW232 · 7 December 2018, 07:04 PM

5524g without a hesitation.

ppalasthira · 7 December 2018, 07:38 PM

5960 all day.

Sam Philip · 7 December 2018, 09:02 PM

5960A is the most complicated stainless steel watch which was in regular production. However many ADs could not sell the watch and I know some ADs had 2 in display for a long time. I would try to get a discount on the 5960A. I feel 5960A is better value for money compared to the 5524G which is not hard to obtain.

I won't take either. Pass. Wait for that Nautilus.

Fat_ninja · 7 December 2018, 09:19 PM

5960a.

And i own the 5524G

watchfan0529 · 7 December 2018, 09:25 PM

5960 for sure. I love both but you won't be able to get another opportunity to get a new 5960 anytime soon

kuota_kalibur · 8 December 2018, 12:18 AM

what other watches do you have?
If you have lots of steel watches, you can go for 5524g.

V25V · 8 December 2018, 01:31 AM

Neither. I just cannot get into either one, pushers or chrono....

tonoboon · 8 December 2018, 01:37 AM

5960/1a

danestaff · 8 December 2018, 01:50 AM

I was offered the same 5960, but pre owned they are about 9k cheaper

But the 5524g is better IMO hence why I own it, and love it

I wonder is it was the same Ad, name starts with a j, that's the sales person BTW, not shop

5960 for sure.

turborolex · 8 December 2018, 02:58 AM

Ask yourself this...do you really like the shiny bracelet (and case) on the 5960 and are comfortable wearing it?

I believe the answer to that question will make up your kind for you.

CoveWatch · 8 December 2018, 08:17 AM

I prefer the 5960/1a

codecow · 8 December 2018, 11:46 AM

I have the 5960 so that’s my vote.

WatchLurv · 8 December 2018, 04:08 PM

5960 just looks a tad bit better. 5524G lost its appeal imo. I love the 5524R though.

s.m.b. · 8 December 2018, 11:15 PM

5960.

1William · 8 December 2018, 11:37 PM

I would not purchase either.

mps354 · 9 December 2018, 12:36 AM

I’d go 5960...never really warmed to the 5524g

karasus · 9 December 2018, 01:29 AM

5960A, its a better value of a watch.

AK797 · 9 December 2018, 02:02 AM

5524 just, but neither are top of my list.

GB-man · 9 December 2018, 02:34 AM

I’m shocked how many people picked the 5960 just a few years back it was the black sheep. Many compared it to a Breitling lol

I’m a bit indifferent here. Try both on and see which pops. I think for me it would be the 5524 but can’t be certain as I’ve never tried on the pilot.

subtona · 9 December 2018, 02:46 AM

5524 is a unique watch. (Would have been incredible in steel!)

5960 is an ever evolving model.

Rsdecker971 · 11 December 2018, 02:31 PM

5524G. I love the 5960 generally, but the A version.
