Another incoming
Well... It arrived yesterday. My heart is definitely with AP, but since selling my Diver, I've missed a rubber strap piece that works with a lot of clothing, water, etc.. Puffy's long review was a huge help, as was chatting with Mike, Michael Ian and Gus. Thanks guys! And also a huge thanks to one of our favorite enablers, DavidSW. Here are a few pics solo, as well as with a couple of my APs. Looking forward to hanging around the PP forum more, and I'm sure the PP sickness has just begun.

Thanks all! I've enjoyed wearing it the past two days. I enjoy how the face changes color with the light, and its very comfortable. Very under the radar, too.

Congrats! I owned the 5167 for a few days, however, just could not stay in love with it... Enjoy that beauty in good health!

Thanks again everyone. I'm enjoying this piece quite a bit. While I wanted to love my diver, I just hated how it fit. I do understand how polarizing this piece is. For a Patek, one might look at it and expect more. It doesn't SCREAM quality. It's subtle. It makes zippy rotor sounds. It has a rubber strap. Do I stare at it? A little. That said, it's insanely comfy, and goes with anything. It's under the radar. It is what it is. Entry level patek? Cheap? Meh.. It's not an grand complication, but its also not priced as one. Day 3 I'm still digging it.
I thought it would be appropriate to post a pic with it (again) with my winter ride...something equally polarizing in love/hate. Yes, its filthy (Chicago winter).
