The 5500P may be the rarer watch but the 5100G with its lovely blue dial and ten day power reserve and amazing accuracy is a class above a watch which only has a 215 movement.

All is in the title. I am turning around this reference, wondering if it could be a nice addition to my collection, but each time I am thinking of the 5100G... Still, it doesn't let me insensible. Best, Nicolas ...
