Opinion. Keep 5164 or trade for 5168G
I️ love my 5164 but the 5168G looks incredible. Can’t justify keeping both. Price difference aside. What does everyone think?

Depends on your wrist size and if you want the GMT complication. Feedback on the 5168G is that it wears big and is very flat.

The blue dial on the new Aquanaut is quite nice.
It really depends on if you use the dual time function on the 5164 and your wrist size. |

Never , 5164 thickness is a characteristic that’s very important for me; without it I wouldn’t have an Aquanaut at all.

5164A Pros
- Proportions are slightly nicer (the additional thickness / heft makes it a bit more sporty) - GMT function is quite practical - Like globe-in-globe design of dial and sub-dial 5168G Pros - The gradient blue dial is to die for - Precious (white) metal - Date is easier to read at a glance Tough choice! |

I’d favor the 5164 due to the complication.

5168 is very nice, but 5164 is more interesting. I’d keep the 5164.

My gut tells me keep the 5164 but if I see the 5168 in person I might just cave

The blue dial is nice, but really depends on the lighting. Didn’t look as bright blue when I tried one on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just recently sold my 5167 steel bracelet. Wasn’t much of fan once I had it for a while, but really love the look of the 5168. Have not seen it it person yet, but feeling tempted by the bolder appearance and blue color. What is the availability and pricing running at?

5164 all day long, so versatile, great proportions and goes with everything.

I would not get rid of my 5164 for the 5168. I love both but to get the 5168 instead you sacrifice versatility in both the complications and color. The 5168 with the blue strap/dial is less of an everyday piece to me and while I would wear it, it would be less than the 5164 as its a lot of blue.

No. Your 64 is a lot nicer than the 68...at least for me. I tried one and was underwhelmed.
