I would have picked up both in a heartbeat. In fact I'd think my adrenaline would be rushing through my veins to see if I was allowed to purchase both.

Did you buy them?????

Nothing fishy about trying to buy 2 highly desirable watches. I would have swiped my cards there and then. Even if I don’t like the 5167 on steel bracelet I’d still get it.

Ha so would I - too bad it’s not true. I EMed them and they said they never had two loose pieces-I would have given a deposit on both and flown out to pick them up - Which btw is the only way they will sell - they don’t ship out. I am wanting a 5990 at retail in the worst way but have had no success :-((.

Of course like someone said above, with SS PP, the risk of loosing money is minimal.

On top of that within EU, there's a mandatory 14 days withdrawal period when you buy online ( or otherwise from a distance)/
I can say the risk to loose money on any PP Nautilus or Aquanaut it’s 0!

I visited the Geneva Salon in August 2018 and saw a 5167 on display. I asked if it was for sale and they stated that it was reserved for other buyers and that there was a 3+ year wait list. I am surprised that they have an unsold Aquanaut!
