Honestly when I got my 5711 in January 2016 they had the 5167 in the case and I really liked it but couldn't justify buying both. So I told my AD that in the future when they get one I'd be interested. Then the cray times hit and they became unobtanium. I've bought a few other pieces from the AD over the years and about a month ago he messaged asking if I was still interested in an Aquanaut? The rest is history I guess. I didnt have a set "waiting" time so couldn't answer your question. I think ADs never really know what they will get and when. So its at the mercy of the watch gods.

Wife picked it up from the AD the other day and sent this pic. Not the best pic but she couldn't care less about these things lol. I'm still away for business but can't wait to see it in person

No watch is for everyone, but if you apply that logic you could say “who is challegened by looking at their phone for the time or time in another zone?” And by that logic we should all have Apple watches or something similar. Mechanical watches are all “gimmicky.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s an amazing watch. Sometimes I pretend that my 5167 is a 5164 lol.

Thank you! I am very fortunate that I actually like my AD and my SA. My SA is a true watch lover and we can talk watches for hours, plus he's a heck of a nice guy. Each dealer is different for sure so I am lucky. I also lucked out that they carried Rolex for long enough that I was able to acquire the Rolex pieces I wanted over the years, its a bummer they stopped carrying them in January but hopefully they get a cool new brand to start to enjoy.

This thread inspired me to break out the 5164 from hibernation. No travel these days except for this morning’s taxi. I almost forgot how easy and comfortable this one is to wear. It’s such a great watch! Cheers!

In 2017 my AD had a 5164, and I asked for a 5167 instead. It's still my favorite watch to wear and I love the simplicity. But threads like these always make me question my choices. |

The 5167 is a true classic. Ever since I’ve seen Paul McCartney wearing his 5167 in several interviews with such casual elegance, I’ve since always associated that reference with him.
