Patek Aquanaut 5164a vs new 5164g

[masochistsr]

is anyone bothered by how the numbers on the date wheel seem to flip upside down from 7 to 9 and 23 to 25?

somewhat reminds me of the subdials on the Daytona versus how they're implemented on the Speedy which has better legibility IMO.

That said, I'd love a 5968G in the new color. The green one is too loud for me and the dark blue a little boring in my eyes.

The 5968G in the new color would be epic.

I also would be a bit apprehensive to take this watch in whichever metal to parts unknown. LA to NYC, sure. But into Mogadishu, the Kalahari or Barcalona, no.

I second this.

Problem is I don't quite fancy both the 5204 and the 5236 and that's the reason why I said my chance of getting the 5164G is 0.1% (being optimistic here because the real % is zero). Maybe if I like the 5164G enough I will get it from the secondary market.

Wow your AD must get a ton of stock to make this happen.. mine gets maybe 1 a year. If that already has been given out.. doesn’t matter how much you spend. Gotta wait till next year
