I have an Aquanaut but never wear it.... too delicate looking on me, super light and very slim. Great watch for the right person. I bought a Sky Dweller which is a better fit for me.

I doubt I could resist the Aquanaut GMT/Travel Time. Very clever and attractive - but again, might be too small on me.

Tried on a 5167A, own a 5164A, and my stepfather owns a 5968A. All of them are great watches, but it just depends on what you are looking for. My thoughts are the 5167 is a great all-rounder (no need to worry about accidentally pressing on the pushers while in water), the 5164 is the most useful (at least to me with the travel time complication), and the 5968 is pretty fun with the orange. Just keep in mind the 5164 and 5968 are a bit beefier than the 5167.

Push the button accidentally underwater and you get an aquarium

Hi Sean, do you see more people transacting at current price points?

in case of pushers you need a prevention (like the screw down on Daytona ) or make it sealed (like Omega Semaster and on Blancpain Bathyscape Chronograph,if i recall correctly)what gives the option to use it underwater , PP calls your attention to not doing it but in most of the cases it s just not enough.

Incentive enough not to have one? That is a fear I would live with if I did wear one.

You mean the prices were higher in mid-2019 than they are now? Not so sure about this.
