Hi guys, I know it is an old topic but back then when it was discussed the 5170 hadn't hit the stores. Which of these 2 chronos would be your choice the 5170J or 5960R (new white dial)? Thank you!

Neither....I'd go 5070 and call it a day! If not then go 5170J.

ask yourself  - Manual or auto? classical or modern? do you need calendar function? try both on the wrist, and decide. for me PERSONALLY - its the 5960...WITHOUT doubt.

5960R:  hour totalizer, annual calendar, day/night indicator, power reserve, modern, and lume.

I like the conventional chrono layout and the thinness of this watch even with the introduction of a white face 5960r model this year.

Hands down.  Manual wind chrono in house movement. 39mm and classic styling!

5170.

I would go with the 5960R

but I must confess the 5170 is growing on me. Not so long ago I saw it at my AD and is is a good looking piece but I do prefer a 5070.

 

Now 5960 or 5170 ... I'll take the 5170. The 5960 is very nice but I more for the classic chronographs

... do not own  any annual calendars or 5980 yet. If I had to choose the 5960R it will be the one with the grey slate dial.  Cheers !

 

all the way and I am pleased to see posters warming up to this piece with all the enthusiasm for the 5070 out there.

Big thanks to everyone for your feed back. I am surprised to see that most of you prefer the 5170J to 5960, however, I see so many photos of people showing their 5960 but none of the owners of 5170. Why is that?

I really don't know  Alexe ,
