No luck on 5004 vs 5002

Recommended Posts

Gents,

 

I've been looking around a lot recently and looking at the differences between the 5002 and the 5004 (yes I've read reviews on the both - prior to hand and sunken date wheel reviews so mostly 3+yrs old)

 

Personally I prefer the look of the 5004 dial, yet when looking on Josh's site there is a 5002 with a 5004 dial but the white background 5002 dial.

Same being listed on TT's site (infact TT's site is better to understand what I mean from the menu)

I would have expected the 5004 to have the dark datewheel whilst the 5002 has the white one.

 

Unfortunatly I've not been able to find a side by side comparison between the 5002/5004 vs Gen. (believe me I've searched!!!)

 

Overall I'm looking for the most accurate 5004 yet do quite like the look of the grey dial (which would probably look better with a white date hand vs dark - which questions the 02 vs 04 date wheel)

 

Starting to get confused with what is what now, so turning to the forum for some advice...

Hopefully I can get some good pointers.

 

 

Thanks,

Ye thats understandable.

From looking around at all the different reviews there only seems to be one 5004 available with the correct black datewheel, which is the one with the Black dial too.

Looks like it's time to order.

 

For those in the future asking the same questions as I have, below are 2 helpful comparison threads I found
