5164a or 5164r

Hello, everyone, I will have my 5712a and 5711r in this summer, I want one tropical rubber for my sports collection. Which do you think is a better combination, 5164a or 5164r? I want it as my daily watch.

The 64a would be better as an everyday watch.

There's something about the 5164R that just feels right to me. 5167 I prefer A, but 64 in R can't be beat (in my mind).

I loved the look of the 5164r till i tried one. It's way too heavy for a PP!

If you have a 5711R, I don’t see the 5164R getting much wrist time when you want to go gold. I vote 5164A. I’m biased though, as I dislike gold pieces that aren’t on leather or matching bracelet.

It would be my third PP choice, but 2 sports is enough.

5164A. I can't think of a more perfect, all-rounder watch.

Handled both, R by a mile, it just pops in a great way, the A is nice, but for both Aquas I love the R’s, like the A’s but not more... so go R all the way
