And your thoughts and views would be very much appreciated. I am considering a trade of my 5205G + cash (my end) to purchase a 3940R. Recently, my 5205 came back from Patek after having the dial changed for the lighter one, which makes readability a lot b...
Apologise, I should have made things clearer....

In my current life, unless I win the lottery, I shall never be able to afford another Patek. In an ideal world, your suggestion would make perfect sense. But unfortunately I shall only ever own one Patek.

3940 and 5205 offer very different wearing experience. 3940 is a very elegant and very thin watch while 5205 is significantly thicker and bigger. No question that perpetual calendar is more desired in a sense than annual calendar for watch collectors. I t...
I would get 3940

I like the AC very much, but I see the complication as a "compromise" in the end. The 3940 is a dream watch. Like you, I prefer it vs. the 5140.
What are your motivations to do so?

Only the readability? Annual vs perpetual calendar? Anything else? For me the beauty (subjective, I know) and the feeling on my wrist is more important than the (level of) complication. Oliver

Far prefer 3940. Never liked 5205. All a matter of personal preference. No right or wrong.
Thanks you gentlemen for your thoughts.......

You all have valid points and are positive in your wording, which is pleasing to read. Grisar, I can understand your thoughts, but I have been fortunate to have always worn a mixture of size watches, so adapting to either a smaller or larger diameter size...

long as the additional money is within reason. There is a difference between the two which may be something to consider, notably the lack of a seconds hand in the 3940. Would that be an issue for you?
That is an excellent point Whit...........

The 5140 that I had, also came without a second hand. And though, it was not the reason why I didn't bond with it, I did wish that it had one. But now I believe that over the many years that I have followed this crazy passion of ours and my tastes have ch...

I had the 'lively' center sweep 3495 but that didn't make me love my 3940 any lesser. Also, it's increasingly become my daily wearer too, especially the subtleness of a white metal 3940G. I wore alot more than the 3940J...! Just me... Mech.

I can really say the 1mm size makes very little difference but the cluttered dial, a lot. And I think the 3940R is a superb addition to your collection. Bravo. Mech.

Just happen to see a 3940P today. It's a very balanced, elegant, quite and attractive watch.
Go for it!
