Which Aquanaut? 5167a, 5167r, 5164a

[ts3]

I'd go 5167A among those but wasn't impressed enough to pull the trigger (... for around 15k no less a decade ago).

The brown R looks better on a darker skin (some will disagree, I know) and I find it less useful for go anywhere do anything duty.

On the 5164 Patek nailed the dial but the pushers look soso and the complication is overrated IMO. It is easy enough to add or subtract a few hours from local time to arrive at home time when you need to know the time difference anyway.

I might look at getting an Aquanaut again if they made a 5167 or, even better, 5968 in the blue grey color of the new 5164G.
