Could Aquanaut Be The Most Perfect Watch Ever ...

A lot of positive things been said about this 5167 on rubber. I'm thinking that it could be the most perfect all around piece ever. As someone who can't stand the feel of leather or metal, this makes for an even more compelling experience with rubber and the comfort level !

I think the Aquanaut line is starting to come into its own.

Good stuff, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it the most perfect watch ever :-)

Sadly, I don't think there is a perfect watch, but at the same time, that's what makes watch collecting fun!

Love mine too! I like the fact that you can wear it with a suit and tie, and the 5167 fits comfortably under French Cuffs. (Let's face if Thierry Stern can, so can you) and of course you can wear it schlepping around in a pair of jeans and a t -shirt.

I believe Sir Paul McCartney is often seen wearing his. A beautiful watch, that's low key enough to wear on the street and good enough for black tie. Win win!

If we can't agree it's the most perfect watch then we could easily agree it's the most comfortable !

Greatest is a broad term for me, as I think watches have different roles to play depending upon the situation/day/occasion. The Aquanaut is a very versatile watch and super comfortable!

Most comfortable watch I have worn, stealthy and versatile. IMO high on the list of date complication watches.

It's certainly a great watch, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is the most perfect watch.

Though imo it is very capable of being worn on a daily basis for many years.

I don't know if there is a single perfect watch out there, but I am definitely loving my 5167
