What is a better choice of the two Ref# 5004 or Ref# 5020?
Interested in either the R# 5020 or the Ref# 5004. What you anybody consider to be a better choice. The fact that the 5004 is a more complicated wristwatch, and the rarity of the 5020 seem to be the two factors.
I would like to hear some opinions on this question.

My vote goes to the 5004
The 5020 is rare because it was one of those watches that nobody preferred to over the round version. Because of this, the 5020 is very rare. Although rarity is a good thing, one should never buy things just because of exclusivity. Here in Los Angeles, we...
5004!!
Both from the design point of view and the added complication of split seconds (although I admit a bit impractical), I prefer the 5004. Tim
it has to be 5004......
in term of look and complexity. If you are going for purely rarity, then I think 5970J, 5970P or 5070P are rarer, no? But in term of wearability, 5970 wins...perfectly balance and really handsome. I was trying to choose between 5970 and 5020, I chose 5970...
Classic vs Quirky .. Classic wins .. Take the 5004
Let's face it. The split seconds complication is more of an aesthetic compliment and bragging right than useful daily tool .. But a 5959 costs significantly more (1/3 to 1/2 more) and offers no other complications, no date. Against that view the 5004 is c...
