I like the Caliber 240 PS IRM C LU in a Calatrava case.

This. Changing time zones is the easiest I've used on 5164/5990 etc.

I had to choose between the two before and the 5164A came out on top in the end.

Very cool pic, it's the first time I see it almost black like this.

I already posted on the subject but 5712 all the way, I love Aquanauts but for some reason not a big fan of the SS ones, they are very cool but doesn't have the WOW factor for me, whereas the RG ones does have it, there's just something about them...

Second time around, I'd vote... 5164 again (particularly if you own a 5711).

Love both! Being an active person myself, I'd go for a rubber just because of the scratch factor involved. If I started out with no watches in either the Naut or Aqua, then I'd get both, but start with the 64. Have fun deciding, deciding stage is so much fun.

I was in the exact same situation and 5164 was in stock before the 5712. Boy was it hard to say No to a double sealed 5164. Eventually I decided on the 5712 with plans to add a 5167.

I own both and either is a great pick. If i had to get one-- I would go with the 5164. I travel a lot and it is nice to have the dual time zone. Both are comfortable but the 5164 can function in formal and in formal settings. I wear it hiking and more formal occasions. Again both are great

Which would you get, 5164 or 5712 steel?

I just came back from a trip to Hawaii. I brought two watches: my Blusey Sub on a rubber strap and my 5164. The 5164 is an amazing watch and can take what life dishes out!

I have the lower models and held/worn both the 5712 and the Aquanaut travel time.

For me, it'll be the Aquanaut Travel time handsdown. It has a well balanced perfect dial and case, and the stealthiness is unsurpassed.
