One of the greatest captures of the dial so far. I would only sell it to fund for a nautilus or up IMO. Not big on the aquanaut line

Keep the AP. If you want to trade get a Nautilus not an aquanaut.

Yes, that's nice blue dial on the AP, but not sure it can compete with the VC Overseas blue, IMHO. Now, you gotta like the rest of watch, of course, but if you're into blue dials, you might want to consider VC. Man, it's pretty.

64 is way out of my budget.

although i love the travel time complication and the thicker and bigger case

Ah, interesting. Never thought of that as an issue. The datewheel font on the VC is classic and old-school. But to each their own!

Beautiful piece! And that blue! I also would not know what to do but you might get a little more if you sell it unused?

But congrats!

right now, i am sitting on the fence, should I flip this right now and get the cash for a patek 5167a or keep it brand new?

but still.. the blueeee


Your decision will be based on preference. To me, the 15400 and the 5167a have different qualities. I prefer the 5167a over the 15400 because I don't like the 41mm and the thickness of the 15400. The 5167a is svelt, elegant and sporty at the same time. The tropical dial is to die for and it is very comfortable and light (I would venture to say that I prefer it to the 5164a). The 15400 has strong wrist presence, which I don't care about. However, I do love the hue of the blue dial. This would be a closer comparison if we're talking about the 5167a and the 15202. Either watch is amazing and not easy to obtain, so enjoy it. Can't really go wrong with either.

Keep it, and order rubber straps in blue or black from AP. Add a buckle or deployamt and you’ll have the Aquanaut vibe if you want
