I'm trying to find one at discount. wouldn't mind a pre-owned at reduced price.

pretty sure a pre-owned goes for over $51000... your best bet for a good price is a new (wait list) at $51K (retail)

Don't get this pre-owned, you really should be the first to wear this fine timepiece, worth paying a little extra for that privilege, this ain't no SS Rollie.

wife and kids away for the weekend, home alone with my new rose. whatever skepticisms i may have had with the 67R, its simple beauty has completely won me over.

it's absolutely comfortable on the wrist, with just enough weight on the case to remind me of the PM.
the rose gold with brown, mated with easy to read arabic markers - this is KISS principle done superbly, with just that slight touch of extra special with the rose gold. inappropriate using the phrase 'stealth wealth' as the latter part of that does not apply to me... but the 67R itself definitely exemplifies.

the 11R is still in the hunt, but i think the 67R has significantly reduced the urgency of seeking the nautilus for now.

Awesome. Congrats!

Watch looks beautiful! Does it wear very small??

for me, not at all. but as the original photo shows, i tend to wear my watches higher on the wrist..which may give the appearance of the watch being smaller. here's another shot of the watch closer to the bend of the wrist, as can see it appears larger in that position.

i'd say it wears similar to the 5712. in outright width of the case, the nautilus is wider by 1mm. conversely, the width of the dial on the aquanaut is wider by 2mm. i think the inverse of these dimensions negate each other, and because of the 'ears' of the nautilus, the two end up wearing very similar on the wrist.

a few comparo shots...

Didn't care about the Aquanaut at first, but the 5167r changed my mind. The dark brown/rose gold combo is terrific, one of the nicest sports watches.

1William · 21 May 2018, 08:50 PM

Very nice. Glad it is working out for you.

Hairdude1 · 24 May 2018, 07:53 AM

same here. the SS version just doesn't register with me, but the rose gold is, imo, a completely different thing.

Thanks for taking the time to post a comparison shots and the helpful information...

An option strap with a Patek Philippe brown crocodile leather strap & Calatrava cross rose gold deployant clasp would look awesome on your 5167R....
