The 5200 is a great timepiece but seems to have been unloved by the market a bit. It’s discontinued but there are still many pieces with the ADs I come across in Europe and the US.
Why is that? Is it limited demand given preference for conventional round pieces? Is it a supply and overproduction problem like that is said for the 5960s? If this 8 day movement were in a steel round case, I bet people would queue up for it
I’d be curious to hear what you all think and what the future prospects are for this model from a collectability perspective.
Not putting down the watch at all...I actually own one!
