...since I´ve posted an incoming thread on here.

Left home with my beloved 5167A...

...to visit my AD for a little family reunion...

Beautiful! You don't need more than that.

JR16 · 13 October 2021, 05:44 AM

Congrats!

Congrats. Such an amazing watch that 5167r!! A wonderful pair.

Hendrikus · 13 October 2021, 05:33 PM

I really really need to do that too........ I just prefer the simple Aquanaut to all the other configurations and think the 5167R is probably the one I need alongside my 5167A.

Flex368 · 13 October 2021, 08:23 PM

Thanks all.

After the first six hours on the wrist I can say that it wears totally differently than the SS version due to the added weight. The new clasp version seems to open more easily compared to the older style clasp, not sure yet if I like it this way or if it needs adjusting.

I also decided not to have the strap cut to the same length as on my SS 5167, I left the RG one a little longer on each side. Maybe my old strap became a bit loose over the past years.

Very happy with it, even if it is the same reference it is a totally different watch so I think both can have their place even in a small collection.

I agree, the gold and steel versions feel different enough that you could have them in the same collection.

Congrats! Love the 5167R. I am not sure what makes it so much better than the steel but it just works. Add the khaki strap and forget about it..... perfection.

Lovely piece! Been a while since I had a PP incoming too, can't see much to move me at the moment, pretty settled.

JerBear · 15 October 2021, 05:41 AM

Now that’s a pair! Congratulations!

Thanks for the comparison/feedback on the new clasp. I’ve wondered about the differences myself and if it’s an actual improvement.

ap1 · 15 October 2021, 08:45 AM

Real nice

Rebel · 15 October 2021, 09:15 AM

Flex368 · 15 October 2021, 06:57 PM

Thanks everyone, really enjoying this one.

I was quite concerned that PP will discontinue the 40mm Aquanaut at some point (maybe 2022 for the 25th anniversary) so I had to get one as the 42mm references wear simply too large for my wrist.

llngoc · 16 October 2021, 02:05 PM

I hope I will be joining you soon. Got the call from the AD and my 5167a just arrived.

Flex368 · 19 October 2021, 12:57 AM

Still love it after one week.

epic · 19 October 2021, 02:18 AM

Congrats on the new 5167r and I love that its also on the upgraded new style clasp as well

Enjoy in good health
