Anyone own the 5168G?

[JSol1]

I was offered the 5168 in Blue today and was surprised how much I liked it.

Would be interested in any thoughts from anyone who owns this piece or owned it. Mostly curious in how versatile the Blue is and general impressions.
Thanks in advance!

Uh yea. Definitely get it. It's sick especially from an AD

It’s beautiful! I’m still wanting for the call on a 5968

No brainer.

I love the dial. I’d say it’s a bit more like a saucer than the 5167a - the size difference and feel is real. I’d prefer smaller. Still, no regrets at my purchase.

I own it and regret buying it, I never wear it. I find it wears too large on my wrist. I learn’t from this watch that 40mm is the absolute maximum that I feel comfortable wearing.

It’s a lovely looking watch so if your wrist is big enough, go for it!

Yes, I have one I got last year from my AD. Love that watch, it's thin and wears well.

Thanks all! Some gorgeous photos. So I was so surprised when they offered it, I put it on my wrist with an uncut strap and didn’t really pay attention to the ‘Jumbo’. It seemed to fit my wrist well but was hard to tell since I was really just holding it on-and to be honest, that. Blue is mesmerizing.

For those of you who commented on the size, that’s my only real concern- I have a 6.75” skinny but flat wrist. Appreciate any feedback from someone with similar size wrists.
Thanks!

I had the green 5168g for a few months. It wore too big for me, and my wrist is 7.1” and flat. I thought it lost it’s chic appeal, and also got a bit top heavy.

I traded it towards a 5164a and never looked back.

Thanks!

In my pictures above, I am sporting a 6.5" wrist. Feels great and looks fine!

Thanks for sharing! I can’t get it out of my mind and this is the one thing I’m wrestling with.
Curious if you also wear it casually? The reason I ask is because I own a Rose Gold Yachtmaster on Oysterflex and it literally goes with anything.

Appreciate the feedback. Your wrist is definitely larger than mine.

I wear it all the time including with a suit and with t-shirt and shorts. It's an epic watch for any occasion.

I also have a WG Daytona on Oysterflex that I wear with anything and everything as well.

I'm not an Aquanaut fan but I remember I enjoyed trying it when I saw it for the first time.

White gold and the blue dial work very well together and make the watch attractive.

However, on my 6.2" wrist, it was much too big. So, it depends how you like to wear your watches vs your own wrist :)
