Although I have only occasionally submitted posts on this forum, I visit this site often and greatly appreciate all of your insights.

Here's my dilemma:  I currently own a Calatrava 3919J as my dress watch (to complement my Nautilus 5711/1A and, hopefully shortly, a 5167A Aquanaut).  Does it make sense to upgrade to a 5119J?  As far as I can tell, the only differences between the two models are that the 5119J is 2.5 mm larger in diameter and has a sapphire crystal case back.  I believe that the 215 PS movement is the same in both.  Although the 3919J does not look inappropriately small on my 7.25 inch wrist, the 5119J would probably look better.  I just don't know if the upgrade would be worth the additional expenditure.  Like many of those who suffer from a PP addiction, I am plagued by perfectionist tendencies.  Please help!!

If you were starting from scratch you would get the 5119 but I would not spend the difference to change. Talk about reaching the point of deminishing returns. They are the same movement and design.

you will trade your 3919J for 5119J. If you want any justification, here it is: obsession for perfection. There is no financial logic in what you intent to do, but neither is there in buying PP watches. Go for it and cure your dilemma. In case of dilemma, action helps better than thinking. And forgive me for giving such an advice regarding the current economical situation of our poor planet.

Sincerely

don't move to a 5119.  I agree with the previous posts -- they are so similar.  On the other hand, if the 3919 is too small (and that does not seem to be the case) then considering a move to the bigger case might be justified.
