Great choices, I just picked up a 5167 myself!

That’s a solid collection. My DaytonaC white not get the dominant wrist time but it surely is one of my favorites.

Thanks! its expensive to branch out beyond Rolex ....yikes!

However, your PP 5167 looks awesome!

If you don't mind me asking:
What are your thoughts on the 5167?
What is your wrist size?
How does it wear compared to Rolex (assuming you have an assortment of Rolexes)?
Can it be daily wearer?
Does the bezel scratch easily?
Have you thought of putting it on a nice leather strap to change things up?

unfortunately the black daytona is last in the rotation (still love it though) but it does come out of the cave 2-3 times a week for night out on the town!

So far I love it! Only had it 2 weeks, but I’ve worn nothing else (except for my speedy tuesday that I also picked up a few days prior).

Wrist is just shy of 7” and very flat and this fits very well.

It wears much flatter and slimmer than any of my rolexes ever have. Feels very balanced and rides very countoured to the wrist, much like a Daytona, but even slimmer.

I plan on this being a daily wearer and new all rounder.

Luckily have not scratched it yet, but not sure on how easily it will. Have yet to knock it into anything hard either.

Strap options are a bit limited as it has a 21mm lug width but I have tried a few options including the oem bracelet:

TRAF - thank ur insight into the 5167 and the comparison to Rolex. I also didn't realize the lug with is 21mm. Makes sourcing straps a bit more challenging - not sure why manufacturers do that

Looks phenomenal on your wrist. I have 6.75 inches so I assume it should wear relatively the same.

I just need to sit back a bit to see what Rolex comes out with at Basel in 2018 (maybe Coke GMT?) but I think I may be set with Rolex for at least a couple years....( Famous last words lol lol)

Now to plot my course for either PP, ALS, or FPJ
