It's a really great shade of blue, not always that vibrant in darker light, but still very captivating for someone who lives in the sunny climes, keep it and wear it. Then trade for the 5164 in six months if you still want a PP.

Keep it for now and enjoy then trade it down the line if you would rather have the 5167.

Assuming you paid full MSRP + tax, I'm not sure how much you'd make on flipping. Doesn't seem like a significant amount to me.

15400 by the looks of it!

Typically on the 15450 the 3 o’clock marker only covers one dial square.

15450


15400

Well depends if you really prefer the 5167, if you really do then yes maybe better to sell it and get the watch you love most

Prices on Chrono24 are up across the board. Might be able to make a few grand but nothing insane.

Their ask prices are always rising but their bids don't follow nearly so closely so a private deal is best and that comes with lots more hassle, so not a slam dunk.

I agree with Neil.

Having owned both Aquanaut models in the past, IMO the Travel Time is a better choice than the 5167.

I personally prefer the 15400 and find it to be a more striking piece than the 5167 - but it depends on whether the size works on your wrist better than the PP

That photo of the dial is beautiful. I have never seen the dial shine that much before. It makes me want one even more haha

Just picked one up myself. I also have the 5164 and can say that both are exceptional pieces. Keep it and save up for a 5164 if possible.

Not worth selling for a 67 imho, so wear it and save for the 64 in future.
