Disappointed with 5205g.. Trade for 5905p ?
By: SharpPencil : February 9th, 2021-17:05
Hi guys, The 5205g has been my dream watch ever since it was launched. However, I just gotten my 5205g yesterday and I must say that I am a little disappointed as I saw that in most pictures, the dial looks like a really nice gradient blue. However, regar...
You’re welcome !

Yes yes.. the 5711g is gone. So far no regrets as I am absolutely happy with the 5164a. That’s why I’m stuck in a dilemma whether to trade it in for a 5905p. My love for the 5905p temptation started mainly due to the datograph which made me appreciate a c...
Congrats on your new 5205G.

I would rather not trade these two for 5905P. I once owned 5170P. I think 5170P has the same dial colour as 5205G. It is one of the watch I regret letting it go. By the way, I just got 5164A, so imo I will keep these two in the collection for at least a y...
I have spent time...

...with both models in person. The 5205’s dial is a darker gradient vs the 5905P which is a lighter shade blue and is a sunburst (it doesn’t fade to a darker color). I find the 5205’s dial to be stunning but it sounds like you may like prefer the 5905 dia...
Thanks !

Good to hear from someone who experienced both the 5905 and 5205 blue dial in person. Yes now it sounds like I’ll prefer the 5905 dial. But guess I really have to head down to take a look at the size.
Wait 1 week.

Makes sense.

Trying to wear the 5205g as much as I can for this one week.
Had same thoughts
By: Mikekraft : February 9th, 2021-18:20
I have the same watch 5205g and had the exact same thoughts on trading it for the 5905p. The blue on the 5905p is very blue and I agree that the 5205g is mostly black and only in certain light is blue. I changed the black strap for a blue strap and it hel...

From the boutique. They were able to order a short strap in blue.
Thank you!

Give the 5205G a fair chance.

You’ve only had it one day on your wrist. As for trading it for a 5905P, I’d think twice. The 5205 with it’s 40 mm already looks rather large on your wrist. Take whichever one touches your hart... Regards, George
If only
By: SharpPencil : February 10th, 2021-05:52
If only the 5905p was 39mm or 40mm 😌
I would never do that
By: Ed Watches : February 10th, 2021-03:13
5905p is a very nice piece, but I would never exchange a 5164 (the nicest Aquanaut by far imho) and a 5205 for it. Even less so if size is a concern to you. I am so sorry you felt disappointed with the 5205g - all I can say is that it looks marvelous to m...
I like it
By: SharpPencil : February 10th, 2021-05:53
I like it cause it’s a very romantic looking watch I guess due to the moon phase. But at the same time, I just wished the blue was more obvious. 🥲
Welcome to our forum ! Naturally you should go with how you
By: GLau : February 10th, 2021-05:51
feel. For me, 5164 and 5205G cover a lot of bases. So depending whether you really need to have a chrono with annual calendar function to replace these two great pieces. Good luck and let us know your decision !
To thank everyone for their replies..

Here’s some watch porn. This imo is one of the most perfect watch. Ticks all my boxes. - Platinum - Manual Winding Chronograph -Perpetual Calendar Having said that, this is how 41mm looks on a 16cm wrist. Hope it helps anyone who has small wrist to get so...
Having said that..

5905p vs 5960 blue dial ? I’m a little confused with all the versions of the 5960. But yeah the one with the blue dial.
Versatility
By: SharpPencil : February 10th, 2021-11:14
Seems like the 5960 might suit me more due to the size as compared to the 5905. Will try to look around for the blue P in the used market. Being sporty and versatile, seems like I can consider trading both 5164a and 5205g and keep some extra cash if I go ...
Sorry to hear that....
By: Reuven Malter : February 10th, 2021-11:29
... i personally agree that the 24/hour indocation is somewhat outdated now and does not enhance the joy with this watch. I only had the R for some time. As long as you like the size, i would not trade up just because of the dial. Wait for summer to arriv...
Congrats for the 5205! The dial looks great imho
By: cayenne1200 : February 10th, 2021-13:29
I would never trade up to a 5905, especially considering its size and your wrist circumference. 5205 for my eyes is the much better watch for your wrist.
Congratulations my friend
By: yazanhatahet : February 10th, 2021-16:58
As you said i prefer to have a dress watch and a sports watchs but yet i feel that the 5905P is a casual and sports watch as well, i love the size of that beast, here is a pic of my 5905P black dial ...
Go for it!
By: Tycoon : February 10th, 2021-17:14
Hello thank you for your post and welcome. This is a very very difficult question indeed. But in my honest opinion If I am at your place I will really follow my heart and go for the more lighter blue and function of Chronograph. For my personal Experience...
