Definitely 5140 for me ...

Sorry: This is meant to respond to the MAIN post, not to the individual responder.
Went through the same selection process.
36 mm 3940 looks too small on a 7.5" wrist (mine).
In contrast the 37 mm 5140 looks perfect as a daily wear.
The additional 1 mm makes a huge difference visually.
I do not like large diameter watches. 38 mm is max for me.
Thus, for example 5130 being 39+mm is too big for my taste.
For some reason there are few in the PP community that continually trash 5140.
Comments vary: Crowded dial, numbers squashed, not balanced, 3940 is way better etc.
I was almost persuaded to go for 3940 by reading these comments.
Until I tried both 3940G and 5140G on my wrist at the same time.
I ended up with 5140G, no question about it. The 3940G looks tiny.
Please try both on, side-by-side, then decide.
FYI: If you are interested in 3940P,there will be no crystal back - only metal.
If you like 3940G, they are all rhodium plated.
