Thought I was a one watch guy.. incoming
Feeling grateful and loving my new-to-me 5711, but doing the dishes with it on made me think twice..ha
After a difficult but rewarding year, decided to add a more casual daily wearer as well, found this new old stock 5167a with old clasp and pretty happy with the “collection” now PS sorry for the poor photo quality, TRF seems to not let me upload higher res photos unless a paid member ![]() ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Depends on how discerning you are for condition, movement (324 vs 330), and clasp (old clasp vs new) Thanks buddy! Need to find a good cigar to enjoy this weekend to celebrate |

Do you really need the 5167a when you have the 5711 tho?
I find the 5711 versatile and casual enough, but of course it's nice to have both! |

Boom. Lovely watches!
I understand the purchase - it's a perfect combo. Maybe a No date sub for when things get rough and your all set for life lol |

Congrats looks great
Question is the old clasp better? I thought the old clasp was friction closure and be clasp had pushers. Wouldn’t the pushers be better and more secure? |

TLDR is I much prefer the older clasps on both Aquanaut and Nautilus, the new one is a mistake in my eyes because the locking mechanism, while maybe more "secure", now has a bulge on the interior side that I really don't like for both models If you have the luxury of choice, answer is both.. I find both suit their purpose very well, and either or is top!! No other models or brand I'd want personally |

Having both is great.
![]() Both are great references, let us know after a year of ownership which one got more wrist time. I know the answer already. ![]() |
