*edit - my current collection includes GMT2c BLNR, OP 14300, Speedy Pro.

Definitely not.
FPJ Bleu is much more collectible than 5167.

Sell one of your GMT's and keep it and get the 5167, you have plenty of water proof watches in any case.

same here except for the 5164, but yes on either of the 2 others, but would keep it compared to a 5167

Compared to any Aquanaut I would take the Journe allday everyday. Not even close, not in the same league. If you are considering a Nautilus then the discussion changes, not the answer. Changes to what you want, what you use it for and what direction you want your collection to go.

I love both brands and have many of both. So I figure I can weigh in and not be too hard on either. Seriously, a steel Aquanaut can not compare. Two sided alligator strap to rubber. Rose gold movement. F.P. is eccentric and believes beginning with something the most difficult. The CB dial fluctuates between a 70-75% failure rate, it's very difficult to make. He made 744 mechanical watches last year. The CB production is about 140. The Aquanaut can't compare. The Nautilus can't in some regards but it is very iconic and has so much going for it in other areas.

Good luck in your decision but for me, keep the CB.

KarlS · 22 May 2017, 01:52 AM

both are gone in my collection. CB lasted 4 months and 5167A just over a year...no regrets on CB but 5167 every now and then think it was a fun watch and should perhaps have kept it

Hollister · 22 May 2017, 04:21 AM

Keep the FPJ.

The Aquanaut (and PP in general) is not in the same league.

I have the 5712 and the 5146 together with an Octa RDM. If I were somehow forced to sell two of these, both Pateks would go without any hesitation whatsoever.

KarlS · 22 May 2017, 12:40 PM

@Hollister ...why haven't you? You love for FPJ is well known and you have only 1 in your collection. Dump the PP and swap the 5146 into an Octa Divine

David-SW has one available. message him

Good idea, but they are pretty hard to get hold of, and I'm very busy doing other things at the moment.

I'm retiring in two months, then moving house to a location 350 miles from where I now live. So the last thing on my mind is selling and buying watches. Houses -yes, watches - no.

But thanks for the info, Karl.

Yeah but Williams and Sons is usually completely empty, they needs the business!

Keep it the cb; you have so many sport watches with water resistance that are fulfilling that need. The only way that can be justified to depart from the CB is if it is if you are not wearing it. Then any watch that you can wear is better than one that is accumulating dust
