The 5098 was once on my wish list,but when I saw

the 5124G, I just jump to it. IMHO, 5124G has the following pros over 5098:

3 the case back is curve instead of flat like the 5098 and is much more elegant

4.the original gondolo used round instead of form movement and when you see the display back, it is obvious the form movemnt fits better in the 5124 than in the 5098

the 5098 is overpriced for what it is. However, I don't think it can be compared with the 5124 as it has a completely different look. To me, the 5124 is straight forward and rather plain looking, like so many other watches of the same ilk. The 5098P is a ...

I also have a hard time to justify the price that c an afford annual calendar. On top of it - introduction of 5124G just makes it an easy choice for me
