Incoming: 5167

Scored one after 1.5 years on a waitlist. I have to say the pictures don't do it justice. Face has a ton of life as do the numerals in different angles and light. It is crazy comfortable. Even more so than the Nautilus, which I did not think was possible.

Forgive the bad picture and the fact that is is sideways. Can't figure out how to rotate.

I find the 5167 more comfortable so will probably relegate my 5711 to evenings/weekends. I wore it daily for a couple of years and it unfortunately has gotten pretty nicked up...

I was in the same boat. What honestly compelled me is that if you buy at retail you can try it out and sell it w/o losing any $. Now that I have it I can't imagine selling it. Very comfortable and versatile. I also think it fits my small wrist better than my Nautilus.

Congrats, I was looking at mine under sharp angled sunlight and the dial danced from grey to brown to even purple as the raised numerals shone magnificently in 3D, just a really beautiful dial package.

Do you happen to know if that wait time was average for your AD? As you have a 5711, I presume you have an established relationship with one.

Congrats - the 5167 seriously punches above its weight. Excellent movement, well finished case and the rubber / composite tropical is firm and secure.

The ultimate stealth wealth
