5140r or 6196p
Hi all,
First world problems but I have a dilemma and hope some feedback from you all will help me!
I am trying to decide between a 5140r and the new 2025 model 6196p with the rose gilt dial.
They are exactly the same price (both pre owned)
They are both beautiful in their own way but not sure which one to choose…..
Which one would hold its value better if I decided to sell in future?
Thanks in advance

They are such different watches...
...both are lovely and 'top of the line' at what they do. Maybe it depends upon how often you would actually wear them...

I wouldn’t wear it that often as it would be more like a special occasion watch. Adjusting the 5140r each time might be a pain but perhaps the 6196p would be better for quick setting, winding and wear…..also draws less unwanted attention?
IMO you should consider them from a different angle. For the same amount, consider
what you are getting. With the same price, would you want a PC or a watch with no complications ? Are you purchasing a watch you like or is this a pure investment for you ? If investment only, WPS is not the correct site to advise you.

No, I’m not looking for any investment advice at all. I just wanted some help in making up my mind. Discussing the merits of each watch.
For me, PC vs no complications , it would be a
no brainer, resale value aside ! 😇 Keenly looking forward to your decision and you posting wrist shots & an owner’s review !
No contest actually
The 5140R is a grand complication and is definitely better value now and will hold its value better too. But buy the watch that you love, the watch that suits your wrist and lifesyle. I was not impressed by the over hyped 6196P when I tried it on. The dia...

Thanks for your advice, very valid points. To me, the dial of the 5140r is quite beautiful as it changes shade when in natural daylight and then under strong lighting. The 6196p is really only in the mix due to Ben Clymers glowing review.
