Hi all

Always admired but have never really considered it on my wrist until recently. I currently own a Sub and Daytona (which I wouldn't let go of) but still find myself looking at the 5167 more and more.

Finances mean I can't fund one presently but this forum and the 5167 comments / photos is doing a great job of making my mind up to commit to myself on focusing in on purchasing one within the next year.

Can anyone advise on availability in the U.K.?

Thanks

I am first on a waiting list with my AD in Cardiff and and have been told 12-18 months.

As a dealer offered me £13000 for mine I going to guess pretty long!

I have one arriving around August from a UK AD. I may not keep it.

Call around few AD's, you will be able to get one. I got mine without being on any list

Saw 2 in HK AD couple weeks ago.

Call around and ask a few ADs. I got a 5167 and 5711 Blue within a few months of asking.

Thanks for all the responses.
I've made my mind up today, project 5167 is now live!!
Just need to tell the wife now............

Plan a campaign to lay the groundwork. Leave a watch magazine around with a photo if it, if you can find one. Take her to look at jewelry at a store that carries the 5167 and casually pass by it and comment on how nice that one looks, then move on. Couple weeks later show her a photo on this website and ask what she thinks. Etc.

I basically did the same thing when I bought a 911 Porsche, and it seemed to work. Just plant the seeds and don't push too hard.

I do that all the time john. That's hilarious. Was doing it yesterday with a new sea doo that I 100% don't need
