i probably wouldn't like it as much if i was not an aquanaut owner already. However IMO the orange accents make it different enough from a 5164 to maybe consider having both.

now i just need to see what Rolex releases... 30 minutes until my AD opens. Yeah they are on speed dial

I was wavering back and fourth on the 5168G since last year, but i prefer the steel and the chronograph complication. However, the sub dial looks weird the more i look at it, it doesnt look like a circle. Its more of an oval.

Confused me at first glance.

It has no running seconds, what you see is a 60-minute chrono counter instead.

Definitely looks like PP is aiming for some ROO sales with that orange strap.

Agreed. Still kicking myself for not buying the CE from the nyc store a few years back.

Same here, but then I have always been biased against the Aquanaut series.

I’m not sure about the orange, but no doubt it will look very nice in the flesh. I think I would pay a bit less and get the 5164 if I wanted an aquanaut, or pay more for the 5990 if I wanted a chrono.

The case looks nicely balanced though. Looks thinner than the 5980, for the same complication.

I like it but it does seem a lot for a SS even with a complication.
I like the orange highlights (reminds me a bit of the EXPII or my old MKII Speedy)
I do like that it's 42mm

personally I think I'd get the PM 5168G or for the same/less money get a 5712
Maybe that's because I have the 5167r already though.

Like it with the orange rubber, not so much with black but need to see real pics.

Is it really 42mm?
