Aquanaut 5167a - waiting list?

[Gigaton Punch]

Hi all,

I am looking to purchase 5167a Aquanaut, but understand that it is in high demand. If I am looking to purchase a new one from a boutique, how long would the average wait time be (here in New York) and what would the price be?

Thanks!

So I just purchased one on tropical band new a couple days back - haven't announced via incoming section yet until I get some photos... MSRP was $34,021

One mistake I made was getting the band sized a little too tight - has anyone done this for aquanot and what are the options? Thanks

Assuming you purchased a 5164a... not a 5167

Let’s hope so!


Tough to say what the wait time is like on any desirable watch these days. It really all comes down to who you know and how much money you’ve got.

Thanks yeah so missed a digit I purchased 5164A.

AD had it in case by chance - also had 5167R so I think availability is hit or miss

A new strap, unfortunately.

I just bought a spare one for my 5164A and I paid 1700 HKD, or $217 USD. Not bad at all.

Mine was fitted a little too tight too. Only felt it too tight after using a few days..
Spoke to the AD where I got the watch. They just ordered a new strap for me and fitted again FOC!

I have a summer strap and a winter strap, with the summer one cut a bit looser to account for wrist swelling. It's an easy change, and the rubber strap is relatively affordable (around $200, as has been mentioned). If unsure, I'd leave it cut a notch too loose. I think due to the light weight and rubber, the watch doesn't really swing around much even if worn loosely

Was the strap purchased from a local AD?
Thanks
