Incoming 5164a

I’ve been a longtime TRF reader, and I only joined TRF in August. But I want to express my appreciation to this group for making me feel very welcome and I’m grateful for the civil discourse and horological camaraderie I’ve found here.

Until today I’ve avoided announcing an incoming, but the watch I just picked up is so special to me that I have to share it. In the past few years I’ve been traveling more for work and it didn’t take long to determine that the 5164 would be the simple, low-key GMT that I would enjoy owning and wearing while away from home.

After a lot of internal debate I finally decided to take the plunge. So here it is:

Thanks, Jonathan! It feels good to finally get this done. The weight is feather light compared to what I normally wear.

Many congrats, and feel free to post incomings, a distinct lack of them has led to many off topic discussions taking place here instead.

Awesome watch for sure & welcome to the club......

Aquanaut use to be low key and nobody know about.....

Recently, I notice now the Aquanaut is very popular now, everyone notice and want one.......

Thanks to celebrities such as, rock stars, rapper stars, movie stars, athletes stars, and etc.....
