much prefer the 5159 ..  thinner, nicer romans, more symetrical..  the dial is a bit busier due to the pattern, but it grows on you and draws the odd compliment from strangers.  Highly recommend the WG ..  I paid less than the 5059 in same metal..  Thank-you financial crisis.

In production. It was replaced by the 5159 approximately 18 months ago. Apart from the differences on the dials that you can see by looking at photos of them. The main differences I suppose is the size and movement. The case on the 5159 is 2mm bigger. And...

The 5059 is a far superior watch, better in every way. That's because I own the 5059 and not the 5159 which I cannot afford at this time and until I can acquire the 5159, it will remain a lousy watch, not worthy of the metal in which it is encased.
