Since the strap is cut to fit you really must creep up on the fit and err on the side of one rib too big rather than risk too tight. The result is just featherlight, perfect fit, and in 24 hrs I've felt no need for any adjustment at all. Just great.
For grins I weighed mine...
While my SS SubC weighs 147 grams, the 5167 weighs in at only 76 grams. It's a difference you really feel.
I've come to view the Aquanaut as basically a Calatrava that has joined the witness protection program...

Congrad on your lovely aquisition!
A thread like this is going to lose me ££££. I am getting more and more tempted to trade my Calatrava and get a 5167R. I always feel unease with rubber strap on a Patek watch but these photos change my mind!! It's going to be a difficult decision for my 40s birthday!
