5296 RG for me

 

I just bought the RG 5296. I chose it for 2 reasons: Firstly I was looking for something a little dressier, and I feel that it fits that description. Second, and more importantly to me, I like the contrast of the RG with the silver/blue of the dial. The contrast really enhances both the dial and the bezel.

In the end, what matters most - IMHO - is how you feel when you roll up your sleeve and see what is staring back at you. For me, there is just something special viscerally about how the RG feels  on my wrist.

 

Good luck.

you prefer the RG but you are thinking that WG may have a better Return-On-Investment (ROI). I think I don't have to compare the benefit of RG vs WG for you as you knew that already (from your writing). Let's come to the root cause of your "problem".... R...

Hello! I recently purchased PP 5296 WG. I have tried wearing it in formal attire, business, casual, even when I'm wearing sandals and it looks great. In one of my formal meetings, my client can't help but express his appreciation for the watch. By the way...
