Anyone Else Simply Love the 5117 & 5115?
The beauty of watch connoisseurship is that there are seemingly endless variations producing wonderful options that range from the complex to the understated and that somewhere along that continuum, most of us can find a time piece that truly speaks to us. For me, it is the 5117 with it's roman numerals, hobnail bezel, and sapphire crystal back, mixed with the more casual styling of its horned crown guards and fuller lugs.
With the 5115 you lose the crystal back, date, and automatic movement, but you get the enamel dial to compliment the same great styling as the 5117.
To me, this is a Calatrava with a bit of flash which could still be worn casually. Does anyone else share my appreciation for these two sadly discontinued time pieces?
