Wise choice on your pick up and not wasting time.....

Can't believe Fat Ninja help on the Aquarius..... Oh, I meant "Aquanaut".... I thought he a naughty man not a aquarius man.....

John-san I saw that in BH. Won't be able to make it since I have a conference that weekend already lined up. Should be a blast with some big players joining. You'll be there sporting the new Patek. Nice! Enjoy in good health.

Thanks, Mr. Brabus. Obese Ninja is very nice, not naughty at all.

Yeah, I'm digging the stealth mode, not like a Rolex at all.

Thanks, and I appreciate the appraisal. Although I'm not sure anyone will recognize the brand.

First of all... Congrats on a new piece! And everyone on here has supported the grey market unless they're completely new to the game.

Second of all... We can always count on a Fat Ninja.

Great pick up. Such an understated, cool watch. Possibly the best all rounder!

Congratulations, John! My 5167 is definitely the watch I wear most often. It’s insanely comfortable, and as Neil said, a lot classier up close. It looks even better in person than in pics. Nice pick up!

Yeah, the wife also thought the 5711 looked like a 1970's TV screen. She has a flair for snide comments.

Congrats John. I think it was a great choice. I had 5464, and came to the conclusion that 5167 is the best bet for an aquanaut. With 5524 is a little harder the decison but since its too big on your wrist; then Its like you didn't had a choice you HAVE TO go 5167 , Mandatory!

Congrats and enjoy it

Much thanks, Jorge. The 5524G was the wife's first choice, and the dealer said it looked fine, but it felt like a hockey puck on my feeble wrist. So, yeah, I was left with the 5167.
