The 5167a on rubber strap is the most versatile and comfortable timepiece I have ever owned.

I'm a newb around these parts with this being my first, but something tells me it won't be my last.

Absolutely brilliant. Lovely watch. Don’t stop with the green tho.....

Oh yeah, my daughter would lose her mind over those pink and purple ones!

Yep, the time interval between these phases is narrowing quickly. Figured I had to make a move before it becomes a complete dream.

Yep, pretty crazy. I guess it’s still relatively entry level, but I strong considered a few others but just couldn’t justify getting the funds together. Plus the design and simple functionality makes it perfect for me!

Thanks so much! But what do you mean Sunday? I wear these during business meetings now! Only positive of COVID times haha

I’ll follow up with the link to the slippers which seems to have more buzz than the watch itself’

looks amazing! wear in good health and huge congrats.

I called the AD this week for 5164 or 5167 he said 8-10 years. lol.
I won't go to grey market to those unlogical prices and retail seems not gonna work for me, so I'll stick with Rolex for the time being.

I'm getting that. I do wish there was some type of micro adjustment in the design, but I think I'll just end up having a winter and summer cut.

Thank you my friend! Ordering process was totally seamless! Ordered, had the strap within 5 days I think. Spain to US. I'd assume the process to the UK would be the same, but really not sure.

The strap is really high quality and super comfy, maybe even more so than OEM. Highly recommend it.

Yeah I hear ya my friend. If you see my OP, you can see i've been down the same road. My ADs spare me the 10 year estimate and just say no lol. I've waited for other watches all the while getting completely priced out of the gray market.

Obviously this was a big purchase for me, but I felt like if I waited any longer It might never be possible down the road.
