I think you have a real classic. I have the same watch in white gold and purchased it last year after a promotion I was working toward for 7 years. I was looking everywhere for it as the newer version was most current in stock while the sector dial was not being made anymore. In all honesty, I did vacillate over the newer vs the sector and took me a bit of time to get USD to the way the logo is on different than other PPs. I have to tell you. Ow, I wouldnt trade it for the world as I think it is so unique in its balance, beauty, ease of reading, and amount of complication data.

No, Tony, it is just because I don't like the complicaton.
But I would also prefer without date! And in this last case, vit is because it is for the reason you mentionned. ;) Best, Nicolas, a lot case.
The 5396R is a grail of mine.
I was looking for a 5296R but couldn't find one anywhere. I was about to give up the hunt and purchase another watch when I saw and tried on a 5396R at a local AD. I was immediately smitten with the overall design and concept and decided to maintain the s...

The sector dial
is unique and gives the watch character. The silvery opaline dials are nice, clean and crisp. The sunburst dials really catches the eye. To answer the question which version do you like... all are very nice. (lousy answer...LOL) sc
