These are my two favorite Calatravas and I'm wondering which you prefer. I know this has been asked before but I can't help myself ;-) Sorry for the image size variation. The 5127R is 37mm, the 5296R 38mm. Thanks. John ...

5127 wears much smaller than the 5296. 5296 wears like a 40mm. 5127 also has the traditional sized font on the dial not the super big print used on the new models and the 5296. The 5127 was always a very brisk seller when in production and seen as a big i...
