Does the thickness of the 64a vs 67a really show/feel on the wrist? i do wear sports rolexs and a 15500st so i am quite used to wearing thicker watches. the 5167r is a beauty and definitely questioned if buying the 67a was the right option considering the 67r wouldn't have been that much more.

I have tried on both and imho the 67 was a little thin for a sports watch. I felt like the 64 was just right, I feel like the 64 wears far smaller than the rolex sub. But I would suggest trying both on.

Agreed, I'm definitely more used to thicker watches so figured id prefer the dimensions of the 64 more.

Yep my 67 wears far smaller than my Sub so i figure the 64 would be a little closer. Nice change to have a thin light piece for now i guess.

64 because of the second time zone and a little more interesting dial imho.

To me there is a big difference. But that’s subjective. I do truly feel like the 64 is too thick and takes away from what appeals about the aquanaut to me. It disappears on the wrist, is thin like a dress watch but when you look down it’s so sporty and awesome. I love them both though but I have a lot of things I don’t like about the 64 that makes the 67 my choice if I could only keep one.
