5296 vs 5396 Sector dial

I love the unique layout of these pieces and I’m considering trading up my 5296g for a 5396.

Besides the extra cost (which I think is a reasonable uplift) only slight downside I see is the slightly increased height and maybe the R being harder to dress down.

Would love to hear thoughts and opinions between the 2 and views on whether R or G is preferable and any views on which is rarer. Any pics would be great.

I think is up to you...both pieces ar awesome but if I had to replace my 5296r-001 for something else it would be 5140R-001 for example ( only my opinion).. remember also that 5396 with sector dial is thicker...
I wear 5296r to almost everything except shorts...
