Again, I don't have an Aquanaut but I think it is a fabulous model! I never thought a watch with a rubber band could be so classy yet casual and versatile!

The best thing for me is that it disappears on your wrist. You hardly even know that your wearing it, that is until you need it, or you wish to stare at it.

Let me see now. From talking with you I think the 5890 would be a nice watch for you. It has a bit more heft, and the case is thicker than the 5711/1A. The bullseye is pretty sweet too. But if your feeling real froggy may I entice you with a 5960P? If I remember correctly you can get that in either a grey or blue dial.

Cool, we have another member.
Can you tell us rubber strap people how you like the SS bracelet?

Ok, I think I'll dedicate my little poster to Anders, my enabler, whose big, sharp and in-focus photos were the reason I asked my AD to try one on. The rest was instant history.
I hate to use the word perfect so I won't. But I'm tempted... |

i see you're from singapore too!hi!=) at the time when i bought my aquanaut, it was a week before the 10 percent price increase..and just so happened my ad had the 5167 in bracelet,so i just decided to get it before the increase happened..why i didn't get the nautilus was probably because i felt it looked too mature for me( turned 20 this year) thus i felt the aquanaut was more suited for me.. that being said..a nautilus might just be in the plans in the future... |

Checking in!
I love my 5167a. If it came down to just owning 1 watch, this would be it. Dress up, dress down, jeans, suits, swimming, dining, you name it.
