wow! Thank you so much for these additional informations. Love it. I didn’t know the High Time article. You might think I'm crazy, but if this really is going to be my anniversary watch, then I could imagine having the rotor replaced or even custom-made.

And this is just a matter of taste.. I don’t like the position of the date ring and leap year position especially (it’s taking quite a central position when it’s actually not a key info practically But my main criticism is actually the empty space around

However not one I can wear on a regular basis for fear of the scratches and dents as has already been pointed out above. Likely to end up a safe queen. Personally I do not favour the size increase of the 5159. I prefer the older 5059
