4947 always looks a bit cramped on the dial to me. I have a 5205 and love it on a more casual strap. But frankly can’t go wrong with either

5205g black dial is a bargain and I would go for that.

5205 for sure - better looking + not a female's watch unlike the 4947

5205 as 4947 is an eyesore IMHO.

Agreed. That’s the one I got last month and I love it. I bought it unworn with box and papers, for 40% off MSRP of the current blue dial. And while I love the blue of that dial, I think this dial design works best with a two-tone color way. |

4947 for me, The 5205 is too big for my smaller wrists. the 4947 is goldilocks on my wrist and I find the dial to be so unique and mesmerizing..

Don't like either. If no other choice than those two I'd probably go 5205.
