A Great Watch

I picked this puppy up just over a week ago. Life has been hectic enough that I didnt start a thread.

I just got back from a few days in Vegas for business, and this watch is truly a wonderful tool. The perfect travel companion.

I admit, it took me a few days to get comfortable. My initial impression was that I’ll not become enamored with this like I have with my 5726. But after a few days my mind has changed.

It first incredibly well. Looks great from every angle. Has great wrist presence. Is perfectly legible. And the travel complication is just so cool.

I was actually very confused on setting it for a few moments. I read the instructions multiple times and I was But I played with it for maybe a minute and it clicked. So simple, so easy. It’s genius in my opinion.

I’ve now got two watches that truly do it for me, to switch between. Very lucky.

the 64a is top watch. It does need some time to get used to, but then you realize how good it actually is

congrats... i have all 3 travel times, but the 5164 is the best pure travel watch hands down. Love it and prefer it for travel to even a Rolex GMT.
