5-digit wins for me. I like my 6-digits but many of the 5s have soul to them that the new watches just can't match. Both are needed.

I really like them all. I own a 4 digit and a newer 6 digit (126600). They’re all great - sounds like I need to pick up a 5 digit! I’m thinking a Pepsi, but not sure. The wife really wants a Moonwatch next and we share our watches because she’s a badass.

Onequik135i · 22 September 2018, 02:00 PM

Was initially 5 digit (2 DJ’s) way back when then transitioned to a 6 digit, Now all I have are 5 digit models.

DoctorA · 22 September 2018, 02:08 PM

I don’t think this is to be generalized
To me 6 digit sub (except for Kermit)
6 digit SD43
5 digit GMT (except for the new Pepsi)
So each model line has its favorites from each era imo

That‘s pretty much my experience, as well.

My watch only goes up to 2 digits, I guess if I went for Roman Numerals it could be 3 digits. Are you guys using binary?

No doubt the 6 digits have improvements on them. However, I prefer the aesthetics of the 5 digit models while appreciating the 6 digits for what they are.

Well said, I feel the same.

5 for the design (mainly the proportions)
6 for the quality (mainly the bracelet)

5 digits tool every aspect form follows function. 6 digit all about aesthetics other than glide lock which brings along fat large heavy welded parts clasp. To make it "comfortable" take out diver's extension !!

Rashid.bk · 22 September 2018, 07:57 PM

What colors are the balloons.
Green for six digits, five can use brown I suppose...

Add to that blue lume and glide lock and I'm with you.

To settle this once and for all I propose an around the world balloon race, the winner taking all credit and rights to the title of most superior superlative chronometer. Also, an official Rolex cleaning cloth.

Meet me at dawn in Times Square tomorrow for directions to the secret launch site.

I wish to stress this will be a contest of endurance, courage and irrational spending between GENTLEMEN, so no wagering.

I propose a duel. Its already an ominous time proposed, and the loser cant continue the debate after

Had a 114060 but moved it for my 14060m.

Like both but prefer this one for reasons.

Because reasons.

A matter of preference. I prefer the 6 digit for the case and the updated glidelock clasp.

Roll the Lex · 22 September 2018, 10:00 PM

It’s a close call, but then I ask myself which has more digits? 6. So it is superior by a factor of 1.

Has the balloon �� been launched ?
Are we in the 5/6 digit balloon already?

6 digit balloon for me then ... I like the maxi
everything and glide lock ...

landroverking · 22 September 2018, 11:15 PM

I prefer 4and 5s to 6s in every model.

rmlovett1 · 22 September 2018, 11:59 PM

Love aspects of both, and think both exist nicely in a collection. I agree with others, 5 digit is more tool...6 digit leans more jewelry, but certainly is tool worthy.

East Bay Rider · 23 September 2018, 04:30 AM

Prefer the 5 digits overall but like the larger crown on the 6 digits.
