PP 5107 or PP 5085???

Hi all... I'm debating between a WG 5107 on bracelet and a SS 5085 also on bracelet.
Any thoughts between them both?
Thanks!

Used Patek 5085 seems to be priced well.
I'd personally go for 5107, but in YG with brown strap

Between the two, I would go with the 5107. I like the look of a cleaner dial. If you decide to go with the 5107, perhaps get the 5127 model instead. Not really that much difference in looks, but the 5127 did replace the 5107 and it's sometimes nice to have the current model. Just a thought.

Patek 5107 is my vote. But absolutely not on a bracelet. A nice reddish brown strap would be very nice.

I vote 5296. The crown guards on the 5107 seem out of place on a Patek.

That is well balanced dial, I usually don't like power reserves

5107 hands down, but not on a bracelet, would be my choice.

5296G sector dial is a fantastic piece and one that I have fantasized about more than once. The 5107G is a very nice piece too, a little smaller though. I think I like the 5296G more though, especially if your wrist is a little bigger. I am not a fan of the Neptune series of PPs.
