Wondering if I should do this? I really like the Chrono Bleu but the aquanaut is waterproof.

Should I sell the FPJ for a Patek Aquanaut 5167?

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

turboevo2 · 22 March 2017, 12:51 PM

I would not sell it since not all have a fpj. It's a more unique piece.

dchang81 · 22 March 2017, 01:00 PM

i wouldnt. fpj more visually appealing to me.

AK797 · 22 March 2017, 01:04 PM

Sell for a 5164 or 5711.

jon_jon · 22 March 2017, 01:14 PM

Chrono Bleu and the 5167 are at similar price points, but quite different watches. The CB is a watch worn to be recognized by others and commented on, whereas the 5167 is a totally under-the-radar watch. Match the watch with your personality and how you want others to see you. There is no right or wrong decision here, but a mere difference in preference.

GoingPlaces · 22 March 2017, 01:24 PM

Not for 5167.

GB-man · 22 March 2017, 01:39 PM

If water resistance is paramount, like it is for me, then yes.

gummy · 22 March 2017, 01:40 PM

Nope...maybe towards a 5164, 5711, or 5712-yes

Andrés G · 22 March 2017, 01:43 PM

I wouldn't do it. Keep the CB.

^^listen to this man, he speaks the truth.

KarlS · 22 March 2017, 02:05 PM

Agree with Jon JOn...two completely different watches for completely different purposes. One dress and one sportier. Choose whichever suits your lifestyle. The 5167 can possibly get away with a formal dress wear whereas the CB probably could last a session in the gym...so the 5167 is more versatile. I owned both and the 5167 is still in my collection the CB is gone...

codecow · 22 March 2017, 02:24 PM

I have both and if I was going to only be able to keep one it would be the FPJ.

MJaber · 22 March 2017, 04:38 PM

FPJ all the way.

Edzilla · 22 March 2017, 04:43 PM

Ask the journe guy, and he will tell you :)

topcat30093 · 22 March 2017, 05:09 PM

Keep the Journe.

ap1 · 22 March 2017, 08:36 PM

Keep

Same. I own both and I would not sell CB. It is an unique piece to own.

oh man. oh man.

?

cervantes · 23 March 2017, 03:34 AM

It's 42mm in WG and more than double the price.

Well tough to say. The Journe is unique and a watch lovers watch. Aqua is super functional. Really a matter of taste. I own both and if one had to go maybe the Journe. Maybe.

Helmi · 21 May 2017, 02:17 AM

I have been trying to buy an fpj CB for the last 2 months. No body in Grey market or AD can find it for me. I tried in 3 different countries and so far no hope. If I were you I would definitely keep it. It is a very collectable watch and rumors that they will discontinue it soon.

I personally wouldn't sell for a 5167. I would try and get a 5711 in blue dial instead. The CB used to be rare but not anymore. In terms of aesthetics the CB definitely wins tho, my CB got more compliments from non-WIS then any of my other watches.

mps354 · 21 May 2017, 04:19 AM

I've owned both, don't own either any longer. I prefer the 5711 and 5164. However, in your collection, the fpj is your only dressy watch, so that may be a factor

You can buy one here. Check the for sale section

subtona · 21 May 2017, 07:38 AM

I would prefer the FPJ, had the aquanaut and let it go.

but agree that water resistance to swim with is a big factor.

RUK · 21 May 2017, 08:22 AM

Both can be found at rrp if you are persistent. I'd keep the fpj

Going against grain--I'd sell the FPJ personally.

codecow · 21 May 2017, 11:24 AM

I have both FPJ all day every day and twice on Sunday!

Fiddich · 21 May 2017, 11:25 AM
