The two-tone of the 5496 is fantastic...

...and the details of the individual elements for the markers and dates are incredible...a lot of work went into it. I would have preferred it to be a bit slimmer but that's just me. The clean face on the 3448 is what makes it great...simple and elegant. ...
Ok, I'll be different

I prefer that 5496P-015. The first model in 2011 looked sterile, but this 2016 reboot looks warmer and sharper. I like its aperture calendars and retrograde date. The 2014 bronze dial 5496P-014 is even better. The 5235G is my go-to if I want a 3448 case, ...
Fresh perspective!

No perspective is wrong! But I like the 5235 idea!

I'm a big fan of the 3448/3450, I like the layout. But I also like the 5140 perpetual calendar. And some may find it strange, but I would rather have a 5160G than a 5496P. So I'm all over the place; I like both vintage and modern pieces.

If it is between these two...

It is very simple choice for me. It will have to be a 3448. But it also must be a right 3448. Not all 3448 exude the same charm as the case and the dial play an important role. 3448 is a vintage piece and so it should have that charm. If it is too minty, ...
The 5496 G wins!

I like it when a complicated watch shows her complexities. Furthermore, the 5496 has a very legible dial instead of the many displays. The two-tone appearance even makes it a little bit nonconformistic.
I LOVE the 3448!

My big problem with the 3448 is that it is essentially a “Museum Piece”. I wear my watches . If I was wearing a 3448 and it got a “ding” or a “scuff” it would really upset me. I can’t afford to have something in my ( very small) collection that I can’t we...
