Congrats Mike! I'm sure you're going to love it. Wore mine in the pool today, 110 degrees here in Palm Springs, mine says hello!

Congrats. But, I have to ask....what's the motivation behind this incoming. Are you going to flip the 5164?

Love the 5164 to death. This was just an impulse buy and really no different from a 5711/5980 pairing.

Big congrats Mike. And I guess it correctly not sure if you notice it :)

5167 is beautiful watch and I love mines lots too...just that I changed my 5164 to 5167 because of the pointer date on 5164.

Love that watch, not the gold piece we were all expecting. Back to basics baby.

Well. To be fair. Slight price differential.

None the less. 5167 is always a worthy add to any collection. Having owned a 5167 and 5164 - I found the dial of the 5167 much more mesmerizing. Congrats on the pickup. Was it AD purchased?

Many congrats Mike. I share your taste in SS watches - The SDc and the beautiful 5167a. Enjoy it, I think you are going to love it. Paul Mcartney can afford any watch and he still seems to be wearing the 'entry level' Aquanaut. Sometimes less is more, I love its simplicity and the dial is amazing. Wear in good health.
