5296G-010 compared to 5227 case size
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has ever had the chance to compare the 39mm 5227 and the 38mm 5296 non-sector dial? Is there a big difference with regards to how it wears on the wrist?
Currently have the 5107 and am thinking to upgrade to the 5227 but the price difference is quite substantial. This leads me to consider the 5296 instead.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

5227 wears big
If you have 5107, then 5296 is the one to go. Although you should definitely check the sector wg.
Not the same shape so
Difficult to say for sure, but I have 5396 and 5227 definitely wears much bigger. If 5107 is the same size as 5110, then it is 5227>5296>5107. I find 5396 best for my 17.5 cm wrist.
5296 wears big
I would think they would appear about the same as the bezel is much thinner on the 39mm watch.
