Its a tough choice and one I just had the luxury of going through...the 5990 won out as I bid the 5164a adieu.
The 5164 will be more discrete with the rubber strap compared to the 5990 and its bracelet. |

Love both references, but given your needs - 5164.
Plus if you plan on added 15202 later you'll have a great mix. |

I must admit this is a very tough decision. I think I will start with the 5164..

Has anyone put a 5167 SS bracelet on a 5164? I would prefer this over the 5990.

5164 and 15202 at a later time. They’re the best combo. I have a friend who sold his 5164a for a 5990. He wants to buy back the 5164 and is on the waitlist.

Pros and Cons:
Price retention: 5990 wins (selling used above retail now, easily 10-12k) Demand : Nauti wins again More under the radar: 5164 wins Presence : Nauti wins For a travel watch 5164 it’s more adequate, 5990 PCL’s is a negative. 5164 is cheaper and easier to acquire compared to 5990 If your err on your decision, is better to err with the 5990 than 5164. Personally I rather travel with a Rolex than a Genta bezel Most important of all , pick the one that makes you smile the most Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5990, saw this reference and it’s legit.
5164 is great too, honestly.
