Very nice. I considered this as an alternative to not being able to find a ceramic diver, but the price :( :(.

Congratulations. I own this watch and wear it during most of my travels for all the reasons you pointed out in your opening thread.

Congrats! I've contemplated this one many times as my first Patek but was still afraid it would wear too small compared to APs. Been waiting to see if the 42mm wears large enough. Love love love the complication

I actually think it makes good alternative to an AP. When I want to wear the larger watch i wear the ROO, if I want smaller and definitely more discrete then the 5164 is perfect...

It is beautiful but don't need the complication, always go to minus 1 or plus 4 hour timezones when I travel, but those constantly changing zones it's a great comp, found it amazing in the flesh, just find RG Aquanauts have a huge premium on SS, which is not justified, but really love mine so that's the most important for me...

As a big watch fan myself who most often wears 44mm ROO's I really like the 5164 size. Its a good change of pace from time to time.

Based on the styling of the watch, the size is perfect. Both are pretty much the ideal size for the style of watch they are.

Congratulations on the new watch The 5164A is a fabulous watch for a first Patek!

It ia true that the wait is shorter once you become a client of the AD with another watch purchase. ADs appreciate repeat business and would rather deal with repeat customers if they can.

Thanks

Most were on a Canon EOS 70D, but a couple of the wrist shots were just iPhone camera pics.

Ive been keeping my eye on the For Sale section for a 5164, but it's seems in the last few months there have only been like 3 or 4 for sale.
