I don't see the 5140 as a fashion product.
Blue has been used for a while on Platinum PP watches ( as, for example the 5110, 5130, 5070 ... ).
Now, the question is: Will you get rid of it, compared to a 5140G?
That is the true question.
In your case, from what I read, you'd better pass on it: You're not convinced, you have doubts, and you seem to really appreciate the understated 5140 G.
I would keep this last one.
Best,

I really was looking forward to the 5140P coming out. I sold a 5070P because I just couldn't fall for the overall design of that reference, but I missed that gorgeous blue dial! I thought the 5140 with blue dial would be the perfect answer. When I saw it ...
3940P as well

Yes, I also considered seriously the 3940P. Two reasons I did not get it: Most importantly no exhibition back. That was surprising as 3940G had both the metal and exhibition backs. The 3940P also look a bit small on my wrist. Too bad I cannot order an exh...
