Thanks Lobo ...
I am not referring to the list. I am referring what is being sold in the market. One has to pay more for a pre-owned 5130p compared to a pre-owned 5110p. I do buy your logic about the list price increase if I am buying brand new from an AD and these ADs are hampered by how much they can discount from the list. However, I am not talking about that. I am talking for example in an auction. Does this perspective make a difference?
BTW, I certainly do not bench-press 100 lbs. 
I definitely identify what you describe about the 5110p. But I still like the dato (only the RG/Black Dial because of its rarity) and in general because of its movement and it is hand-wound.
I am still torn. Probably I have to wait till I try both on side by side. Cheers!

Dear all forum participants: I will have a chance to purchase a Lange Dato RG/Black Dial or a PP 5110p at a nice price. I can't buy both because I can't afford both at the same time. I like the Dato because it is an icon from the House of A Lange. I also ...
5110P

5130P DOES NOT have a PREMIUM over 5110P. The only reason there is a different in price is because Patek increases their list price year on year (most years), and when they launched the 5130P after discontinuing the 5110P, the price increased, in line wit...

Such different watches

I don't think you are able to choose between them based on others' rationalization -- they are completely different timepieces. You'll probably have to stick them on your wrist and see which one is harder to remove. If it's any consolation, either would b...

I meant the 5130p commands a premium (more expensive) than the 5110p in the resale market and I can't understand why. They are essentially the same watch with some minor design differences like larger size, different hands, different dial design, etc. The...
5110 v 5130
By: lobo : June 10th, 2010-15:33
i understnd what you are saying now. However, if you think of the resale market, the 'premium' which the 5130 has over the 5110 is purely because the 5130 is a newer model, so, the 2nd hand market would make it seem it is more 'expensive'. But to think it...
