Incoming, Santa came early!
I love big watches, especially by PP standards and have been eying the Aqua 5968 and 5168 as they stand out in size. While the 5968 is my ultimate destination (orange strap!) in the Aqua line, my fabulous SA and AD have made that wait so much easier by giving me the opportunity to grab this new 5168g! I’m a sucker for blue (5524g, DSSD JC). This thing is awesome! Love the heft and size, will take some time getting used to how thin it is.

Thanks to all the enablers out there, feel super lucky to get this at MSRP with my name on papers (first time!). Now I just need to figure out how to size this sucker

Welcome to the Aquanaut club......

Just be careful not to scratches up the bezel like you did with the 5524G.....

Congrats! Its an amazing watch with beautiful dial and great size and weight for how thin and comfortable it is. Well balanced all around for larger wrists.

I do hope I can treat this one better! At least the brushed finish might hide it a bit better? It seems like it’s made for sleeves given how thin it is, I will have to start buying microfiber shirts
