Hi guys!

This is my first watch purchase so far this year. Brand new at retail price.

As a 5167R owner I must say the 5164R feels way thicker and heavier on the wrist. Wears like a 42 because of the side pushers for the GMT complication. I also love the date format and how complicated the dial looks in general. The fact that you can flawlessly hide the GMT hand behind the hour hand is great.

Comes with the 26‑330 S C FUS updated movement.

I still haven't removed the plastics because I need to bring it in for sizing, but it looks stunning anyway IMO.



















Really happy about how 2023 is going.

Cheers!

Congrats! Can't your AD size the strap for you? Where are you bringing it to?

They have a separate service center where they have the professional staff and all the tools, I could have sized it on the boutique but from previous experiences I'm not doing that again

Congrats! yeah the sizing of the 5164 was surprising for me too. It's so much larger than the 5167. I just kind of assumed it was the perfect size because, it seems to be the forum favorite. But when I tried it on, I felt it wasn't as good a fit for my wrist as my 5167

Cell phone photos do that with their wide-angle lens. In the real, I am sure it looks perfect. Big congrats.

Congrats. My AD has an Aquanaut in the vault with my name on it but cannot release it until they get more in stock from PP. So close but so far away.

Indeed, actually a usefull complication, and very easy to adjust on the go with the pushers. I'm not a huge fan of gold cases for daily wear though. Still trying to get a 5712 for daily wear.
