Excellent photographic comparative essay

The 5227 always felt "empty" at 12 with only one baton and the dauphine hands were too wide at the base. They have fixed both problems. Very appealing now to claim the classic Calatrava automatic mantle for this generation. I'm glad they didn't alter the

I prefer the 5227 compared to the 6196

I didn’t like the previous 5227s.. but for the salmon version, they make the bezel abit thicker.. I think it did wonders to the look.. The issue it I find the hands and markers to be really black.. it was quite jarring when I tried it..

To used the old cliche, similar yet so different!

Calatrava perfection! Each with their majestic charm! While the 5227G is (for me at least) the more rugged and practical younger brother, the 6196P remains my favourite. Not because of the metal, but the simplicity to which heightens its romanticism.

I'm a huge fan of the 5227.

And I find this version absolutely desirable. I couldn't say which I prefer, this one or my 5227g-001. 🤔

I have tried both in person

And whilst I was underwhelmed last year with the small seconds I really love the 5227 on my wrist. The proportions due to the lugs work much better for me and the dial looks so much better in its layout than with the small seconds. Actually this is crazy

Interesting take.

I also thought I would not like the 6196 until I tied it on. Now I am thinking of getting it and rotating out my 5296.

I completely understand how you feel about the 5396,

even if I feel a little differently. I wanted to love the 6196, but it didn't speak to me when I tried it on... Again, just a personal feeling.

Watch Shopping Yesterday...

...In San Francisco. We hit Patek and Lange, but the Rolex reservation was wonky so we will go back soon. A couple of observations. Our 'Ambassador' at Patek was Jay. Very nice guy who knows his stuff and loves watches. He was wearing a vintage mono-push
