just wanted to mention to squirel that yes, you hit the nail on the head...the lack of an exhibition back is a big drawback, and i have the same dilemma in that my work dictates that I cant wear a leather strap, so for work it's a bracelet chronograph and I really needed a watch that I could wear in the evenings and weekends for casual attire.......so I got the 5196 in rose gold w brown strap which i think is awesome.......but....the next time I put on my tux, I'll either be longing for the 5119 ......and question....since i have the 5196 in rose gold, what are your thoughts about the 5119 in white gold........really apprecitate your input...
