Icon17 Aquanaut 5167 next to DSSD and Sub LV (comparison picture)

I've been getting a few requests for pics of the 5167 next to Rolex divers...

So, here is a snap of it next to a Sub LV and Deepsea to get an idea of its size etc.

Of the three the 5167 wears the most comfortable, flattest and under the radar

Great pic, Anders
Is it my idea or the LV stands out with the discrete green ?

Great comparison picture indeed Anders, it does give a good idea of what the watches look like size wise! Thank you!

Given such a big difference, it is pretty amazing how so many who have owned larger watches have gravitated to the 5167.

Very true about the 5167 wearing more comfortably than the other two. The 5167 is super light and really feels like part of your wrist. I have worn Rolex for years (subs, gmt, djs, Daytonas) and while I think they are all super comfortable, the 5167 is in a league of its own. I'm also surprised at how clean and easy to read the face is. I have no complaints about the sub, I like it very much, but the 5167 is juste je n'sais quoi...tres belle.

Thanks for the photo

Is it possible to see one photo of the Aquanaut and the DSSD alone? Is just to get an idea of this couple and see the size comparation.

Thank you

Agreed.. In person I didn't think it looked that big!

Also see the trend of the guys who loved the heavy pieces going for the lighter and thinner now... I myself also

Nice shot Puffs...but:

It doesn't 'show' how thin the PP is compared to the others and this IS one of its big features.

Post up a side view comparison.

Spot the odd one out!

LOL. Nice collection! Love 'em all!

Surprising how the 'sequence of diminishing size' from left to right of this trio that you have shown, doesn't make the Aquanaut look that much smaller than the DSSD.

Whereas if the Aquanaut was right next to the DSSD, it'd look tiny as.

Optical illusion

Really nice. I love all 3 of these models. However, one thing I've really come to appreciate with the 5167 is its exceptionally thin case profile, which is one of the great features (low center of gravity) that makes this watch so comfortable to wear. That in addition to the soft rubber strap.

A side view comparison shot would be really cool to see as well!
