The 5059
is a nice watch. It sits high on the wrist but some don't mind this. Also it uses the 315 movement and therefore has a center seconds hand which many people prefer also. The others that use the 240 movement like the 3940 and the new 5940 don't have the seconds hand, only hour and minute among the hands for the perpetual calendar indications. I don't own one so I cannot comment on it's performance or maintenance requirements.

I like the complications (retro-grade) and center seconds, however I found the watch a bit too small for me. Having said that, it might be a perfect size for others. Good luck.
