Dress watch for daily wear 5196 vs 3940

[myk7000]

Hey guys, I've been entertaining more and more the idea of wearing a dress watch as a daily.

Two particular references that tickle my fancy are the 5196P and the 3940G/P. Both are somewhat similar in size & metal color, but have some significant differences too (PC vs time only, manual vs auto, age, price...).

Curious to know your guys' thoughts on which would serve as a more practical and lifelong daily watch you'd be happy to wear. I could see pros and cons on each (eg: perhaps delicacy of PC, or annoyance of manual wind), but would love to know your thoughts.
