PP 5167A vs. AP 15202

[zosg]

Currently struggling deciding between the Aquanaut 5167A on rubber and the Royal Oak 40th Anniversary blue dial 15202. All input, suggestions, personal preferences, etc. is appreciated!

I am looking for a watch that can be worn everyday, is comfortable, dress up/down, and will retain its value well.

The only other watch I currently own is Rolex Milgauss GV. Thanks in advance!

I think they are both very complimentary and can both be worn for all of the above
No wrong answer.

The Patek had better water resistance.

AP no scrwedown crown,afaik 20s -/+ per day in accuracy otherwise love that watch.

5167

[perpetualman88]

Do you want a sport(ier) watch or a dress(ier) watch? The answer will tell you which one...

Would you consider the 5711 dress(ier) too? I'm just trying to get a sense of how people think of the 15202. I always viewed the 15202 in the same light as the 5711.

5167A is the answer to your dilemma. 15202 is beautiful but beheaves more like a dress watch. I am surprised to learn what George post here regarding the accuracy of the 15202 , I thought the accuracy issues where more related to the 3120 movement. Didn't know of any issues related to the 2121 movement

Thanks for the link, but the general consensus in that thread was that it wasn't as a accurate as a Rolex. But 20 secs that's too much... I don't think it's that bad. Or did you experienced that when you had it. ?
I seen countless threads about the 3120 but this is the first one I see about the 2121. That jaeger based movement thought it was a good one.

Ah ok; and yes that's me. Horrible username but at the time of joining, I didn't know anything out of those 3 brands (Rolex, Omega and Tag). Retrospectively it would of been cheaper to remain ignorant. "Ignorance is a bliss " more times than I want a admit.

Between the two 15202 for me, 5167R would be a much tougher decision.

No issues with accuracy with my 15202, definitely close to if not within COSC specs for mine.

[Hamish]

15202

[JorgeCCW]

Yes is him

I own a 5167 but it's the bastard son of the iconic Gerald Genta designed original Nautilus and Royal Oak. On that basis go with the closest to the original, and that's the 15202.

[Vipes]

Both are versatile and can be dressed up/down. The 5167 will retain its value better than the 15202. Based on looks, I much prefer the 15202.

I love the way you describe the end product... love it haha!!!

[Starguru]

15202. The 5167 has no horological significance at all, other than being a Patek. The 15202 is one of the most horologically significant watches ever (well, I guess the original is).

If you want a Patek I'd go with a 5711.

[diver2012]

15202. No question in my eyes.

[JorgeCCW]

From less dressy to dressier

Aquanaut > 15202 > 5711

I think the delicate bracelet of the Nautilus and the sturdier bracelet of the Royal Oak make the difference.

The Nautilus is dressier while the Jumbo is sportier.

The 5167 is more of a watch than the 15703st, I agree. That being said I would buy 1st the Diver than the Aquanaut. Aquanaut is a beautiful versatile watch but for dressier occasions I have better choices and for the sporty occasions is not really that sporty. So in other words all depends of what you have in your stable and the intention of use. Let's say I just have a Sub and I had to choose one, without a shadow of a doubt Aquanaut wins. It's all relative. Hard to advise on this one without knowing what's behind the curtains. My 0.02cts

Cheers !!
