I recently have an opportunity to acquire a (1) 5070R or (2) 5159J at similar price level. Which one would you prefer? Don't tell me to buy both as I cannot afford it. 5070R is a rare sought after classic, discontinued (?) but I am afaid its size is a tad... 

you've already set your heart on 5159. Follow your heart and you can't go wrong. Show us some pics when you've got your baby.

of the ch27 lemania based running out , the other cal315 will have alot more longevity. anyway, they really very different watch...one QP, the other chrono. one 42mm vs 38mm. me...i go for 5159

I gave up my 5070P a while ago because I just couldn't quite get used to its size and, more importantly to me, what I perceived as a beautiful dial overpowered by a giant bezel. I seem to be in a definite minority on this point, but I traded away what wil...  

... one that is on my list ... much better in the metal as well.

I second the sentiment from Steve - while there are rational reasons for the 5070, ultimately it is the watch that makes you "smile" when you put it on the most that will bring you the most happiness. I have been very tempted by the 5159 - it really has i... 

I would go for the PP5159 without any second thoughts. PP5070 only a chorograpgh whilst 5159 a perepetual calender.Function with more practical. 5070 boost a lemenia movement n personally I think it is alot of hype. Omegas boost of lemenia movements as we...  

I much prefer the perpetual calendar feature and while nice, the 5070 does not really do it for me. I think it is a lot of money for a chronograph only model and I personally am a lot more fascinated with how an entire perpetual calendar can be fit into a... 

5070p is not only rarer and better looking........ Imagine what your kids will think in 20 years time?????? Just my thoughts......  

If yes Miles' picture is quite convincing IMO. If not I'd choose the 5159! Cheers Dje

Any thoughts of value, investment, and what your children will say, as somebody said in a respond, you should not consider. That is more a marketing argument from PP. You will not know what your children will think about watches ... To answer your questio... 

And just for the record.......My comment is not marketing hype.......... My watch purchases whilst are to please me I also consider what will please my boys when I am gone...... And I know which they would thank me for...... M.

... as we choose and like the classic, the always desirable: jewellery ! My choice in that category of price would be the 5159 and this time even in WG, although I like YG and RG also very. I would say the 5159 has got the edge over Lange's Zeitwerk and t... 

with you..... I also buy what pleases me and I also consider what I would like to pass on to my children..... Cheers

or one that you know a lot of folks like and is no longer available. The 5070 is too large for me so I would gravitate elsewhere. The 5159 is a great watch, I personally prefer the 5059 dial, so that is where I would go. I consider the 5059/5159 to be a m... 

5159. Unfortunately, this purchase of yours depends on whether you would want to go into a watch purchase with your thoughts/logically or with passion/emotions. After all, indulging in watches, for me at least is an emotional matter. What tugs most at you...
