Yes, yes, an apples to oranges comparison, but I am curious which would you prefer to own as your calendar / daily watch? - Perpetual vs. annual- 37.5 vs. a small 40 mm- Subdial display vs. apertures- 5140 is thinner (dressier / more elegant) vs. 5205 thicker (sportier)- traditional design vs. something a little more fresh?I would appreciate comments on the these two regardless of case material, etc. BUT, something has crossed my mind and that something is the following:5205R that I currently own being replaced by 5140P.thanks.
