Major congrats.

This is a special piece. Having owned it and the 5164r, I much prefer the steel. You’ll love this one.

Nothing so far as this came sooner than expected but I think the YM will probably go now, 2 SS is enough. Anything on your radar?

5168 is very cool, I wouldn't mind if the 5164 was 42mm as well.

Yes, I'm a big PM fan but always loved this in SS.

Thanks, Sam, hope you get it soon, next to our AP 44s these are rather small so the 5164 gives a little more presence and that bridges the gap a bit more.

Oh - a few balls in the air at once but you know how it is - incomings take months now. I’ll be sure to follow up

That is a beauty. Love the globe theme dial as well. Great pics, too. The color of that dial is stunning as well. Would love to see one of the Aquanauts in real life. Our local AD has none of the models at the moment. I have seen one Nautilus and would really like to see one of these to compare.
Congratulations.
Cheers,
Carl

Well done Neil, congrats.
Wear it in good health.

The 5164 has been the ultimate travel watch for me, it's so easy to set the second time zone.
Wearing it on a long haul flight is a breeze as well.
