Deal or no deal? The aquanaut is the watch I’ve wanted to add to the collection, having looked more into the 5524r, must admit that’s also growing on me too though it was never a piece I thought of or even looked in to before.
I guess now, especially in the UK or worldwide even, with no PP purchase history, unless they deal multi brands, you won’t even be considered a nautilus or aquanaut piece even if you were on some ‘list’

Regardless of the merits or demerits of this deal, the real questions are, "do you want an AD relationship? Are there other PP pieces you're after? Does this AD sell anything besides PP that you want?" If the answers are all "yes," then take the deal, and flip the 5524 after 8-12 months (you don't want to make it look too obvious that you flipped it.), or bundle with another watch you wan't.
If you have not had an AD relationship before, maybe you haven't needed one. If you only want the 5164, go grey. Yes, the watch is overpriced and likely not worth $55k, but it will save you from: (a) a ton of hassle and getting something you don't want to get something you do; (b) losing money on the bundle mentioned; and (3) having to regularly "service" the AD relationship to make it worth the AD's time to get you "hot" pieces (or whatever you are looking for) from time to time. Are you prepared to spend more money, long term, with the AD? If you are not, then there you are. Grey it is.
