Although the 5100 is automatic and has date, I really prefer the 1871 because the buttons of the chrono have a better feel: they are more responsive and more reliable. With my speedmaster pro, I can use the chrono without looking. On my Sinn, I always check wether the thing is doing what I want. Especially the reset function on the Sinn is not very reliable (could be that there is something wrong with my watch, but I heard this is common on 5100 based watches).

I know it's automatic, however they did it with other automatics as well, like the Mark IV. <img src="http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/omega/watches/speedmaster/mark_iv/three-quarters_740.jpg" /> Strange that Omega didn’t indicate this model with ‘Professional’.
