Thanks, or to be even more accurate, I'd rank all the modern references as: 5131 then 5231 then 5130 then 5110 then 5230 (to be of course further refined if we include metals, special editions, years, etc., but just to give a broad idea ;-) Cheers.

Take into account that it has long lugs
I opted for the 5130 instead due to the 37mm size of the 5110, but consider that the 5110 (as well as the 5130) wears bigger due its long lugs. All the best, Alex
No. It's perfect. Perfect, I tell you!
Does me saying that the 5110 is perfect imply that the 5130 and 5230 and all other worldtimers are lesser? Yes, yes it does. If the 5110 is perfect then anything that differs from the 5110 is, by logical necessity, worse. But the 5110 is perfect. And the ...
Agree with the logic. The 5110 is 100% and considered perfect I understand that. The 5130
Is at 99 or 98 % and iis considered less than perfect. 100, 99 or 98 is still an A grade. I would take any of them. The are all incredible watches. The best world timers ever made.
Not too small, and definitely not on your wrist...though my personal preference is (if I really have to choose) 5130 then 5110 then 5230 ;-)
PS: I've moved your wristshot to the main post so it also appears on the front page ;-) Cheers.
For me it´s hard to define the preference between 5110 and 5130. Both are great and both have their advantages.
I only own a 5130G but always lurking for a 5110P.
A good friend of mine owns 5110G, 5110P and 5230G
I’m waiting for him being fed up with the P 😄 Probably this won’t ever happen 🤔
I find the 5110 perfect. The 5130 might be a little big by traditional standards...
I find the 5110 to be perfect in size. I do like the 5130, do not get me wrong I like large watches. But the 5110 is perfect! Nothing wrong with the 5130, and I wouldn't hesitate to get one, but the 5110 is perfect.
Perfect size under French Cuffs
Perfect size under cashmere sweater and jeans------ I WOULD SAY 100% PERFETTO, PARFAIT, JUST RIGHT!!!!
If I’m wearing it all the time, no. But if I wear it only once in a while after always wearing 40mm sport watch, then yes it feels a bit small and takes getting used to again.
Honestly, I like the size of the 5230 best. And the aesthetic is great too. (Looks very much like the 5230 with an Art Deco, and possibly more masculine/industrial, style case). Interested to see what they come up with in platinum for that reference.
