In addition, I was hunting really hard for a 5165 (still looking btw, but not as seriously with the '67 coming) and noticed that there were zero 5165's with the "swiss made" on the dial...
Does anyone know if the dial on the '65 is the same as the '67. Perhaps the 5167A's that do not have "swiss made" written on them are using new old stock dials from the 5165 after they discontinued it? I mean..it's possible? I prefer not having "swiss made" I think it's even more simple of a dial...but alas I have never seen one in the metal without it so who knows...haha

Hmm the 5165 is 2mm smaller correct? Is that case only? I would think it has a smaller dial all together and we will never know why they decided to alter the dial.
My recent aquanaut has the Swiss made of course. I'm not one to care either way. This is a beautiful watch!
