I would say the choice here is mainly between very classic and elegant (the 5227) vs. more original (but still classic and elegant enough, the 6006)...

The hinged caseback can be a nice addition, but the 6006 has in my opinion one of the most attractive Calatrava dials of the standard catalog.


Up until 8 months ago I would have probably suggested you the 6006, but now it's in a sense been "surpassed" by the weekly calendar 5212 in that broad category, hence I'm more neutral between the two...What do you think of the 5212? smile 

Good luck with an interesting choice! ;-)

I own a 5227j since 2015. This watch never gets boring. Feels great on the wrist.

I thought i would love the caseback, yet i have opened it like 6 times since 2015 although i have worn the watch every day since i got it. So i guess its nothing thats really fun on a daily basis. Yet the dial and the feel of this watch are perfect and im...  

Hard to top the 5107P w either of your two prospects
