My next PP help

I am having a difficult time picking my next time piece. I am looking for a daily wear like my 15300 with non calendar complications except date around the 30k range. Also need to have decent water resistance for swimming or water activities (missing in my AP)

I tried on a 5711 with white dial at local dealer. Really liked the fit with slim case. My AP is white dialed so wanted the blue dial. I recently lost an opportunity to buy a blue dialed 5711 at retail ($25k) and refuse to pay mark up prices.

Looking at the PP catalog, the Aquanaut caught my eye a watch I never really considered. It seems practical, durable and the rubber strap is unique in the PP line plus same movement as the 5711. I have had other rubber strap watches and have been quite comfortable. The aquanaut seems to be overlooked often over the Nautilus.

Within budget I can get the 5167R with gold case and clasp or the 5164 steel world time that can be useful during travels. Though the left pushers on 5164 seems out of place. The steel can fly under the radar, which I am looking for, not sure on the RG.

The aqua seems more 'sporty' over the nautilus and I find myself in formal/business settings more often than causal. Looking at pictures seems both can be pulled off with a suit. These models also seem to be only ones with 120m water resistance.

I can order a blue 5711 my AD projects 3-6 month wait and do not want to wait that long.

Sharing my thoughts, still undecided. Ill include a poll as well.
