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.

4947 cause of the steel bracelet.. Unless there is a metal bracelet for 5205
