Consolidating 5167 and BLNR for 5164?

[tng11]

I may now have an opportunity to get a 5164... and wanted to solicit a few opinions on here.

If I were to get the 5164, I would sell both my 5167 and BLNR to fund it. With prices on the latter two being very nice these days, I would have to add a few thousand in cash for the 5164.

The 5167 currently gets a lot of wear, whereas it's somewhat hard for me to fit the BLNR in my rotation. With a suit, I mostly rotate between the 15202 and 5167, and on weekends I prefer to wear the Hulk. I'm also not a huge fan of the PCLs on the BLNR, so a culmination of those factors means that it gets worn seldomly (even though I love the way it looks.)

With the 5164, I feel like I can get the best of both worlds - a super comfortable travel time piece that can work with a suit, to shorts and a t-shirt. Plus, it's actually more under the radar than the Rolex while travelling. It also has a cleaner look compared to the 5167 without the date window.

Would others around here do it?

I would
15202 dressy
Hulk for your weekends
5164 travel and everything in between

Perfect

for me 5164 is good but only the R model.

5164 my friend. What a great watch.

I would do it yesterday, love this watch. Already selling for a premium in the UK, yet a couple of years ago they were abundant in ADs with nice discount so now I've slightly gone off it, I seem to go off watches getting played up rather than scurry after them as seems fatefully common.

[MCMartiny]

If you are OK letting go of the BLNR then go for it!

I love my 5164A: Better proportions than the 5167 IMHO (slightly thicker with more heft which makes the piece feel more sporty). The globe-in-globe motif on the dial is very cool. The GMT function in an aquanaut makes it a great watch for travel.

[RussW]

I’d do it. Big fan of the 5164 - the ultimate travel watch.

Your collection is great. Just need to sell your 15202 as well, to get a 5711 and it would be perfect

I kind of like the variety the AP brings. I wouldn't go 5711 and 5164 personally.

15202 is nice, I can see why you’d go for that in a combo with the 5164.

15202-5164 and down the road go 5712/1A

I like the way you think. The 5712/1A is also on my list, but the prices are ridiculous IMO. One of those would give me the perfect SS quartet.

[toucan]

Definitely! Love the 5164

[belk7]

Big fan of the 5164. If you aren’t wearing your BLNR, then I would make the deal.

Definitely do it, I love the 5164

Can't say enough about the 5164. Had the 5167 and sold that and an AP to fund. I have three watches now, ceramic Daytona, SD43, and the 5164A. The Patek is on the wrist 90% of the time. It's that versatile. Plus never worry when I travel. It goes under a dress shirt and flys under the radar.

I'm actually more of a fan of the 5167... Simpler and prefer date window. Had the 5164, sold it and now have had the 5167 for a while.

[5Zigen]

I would definitely go for the 5164 - size, heft, complication and versatility. I'm waiting for mine to arrive at my AD.

Best of luck in your decision.

You'd have to pry my 15202 from my cold dead hands!

I won't get into it here - but I do prefer the 15202 in a head-to-head with the 5711 for a few reasons. Plus, my 15202 has sentimental value to me.

But, the 5712/1A...

I'd hold but sounds like you should go forward if BLNR collecting dust

[Mikegp]

I sold my 5167 and Sub for a 64. Best decision. Love the 64

5164 is a favorite of mine, I would have done the deal before I ever asked a soul. Good luck with your decision.

unless the 5167 date window really bothers you, I'd flip the BLNR and pocket the cash

[tyler1980]

I would. The 5164 is probably my favorite watch. Plus it makes a great pair with the 5712 for down the road, so there is that to consider.

[Totoro]

I would do the trade for sure. Mostly because I'm local to you and would love to take the 5167 off your hands haha.

[Andrés G]

Go for it!
