Favorite Nautilus/Aquanat combo

I’m torn, I love the 5164, and the 5167. Which to get in rose gold and which in steel. Is it silly to get a 5167 and a 5164...

So, do the steel 5164a and the 5711r or the 5167r and 5990a. Sheesh... I ventured into scary terrority for myself...

For me these would be the two... travel times are not redundant as you can clean them up when you don't need them. No date windows is a huge plus and both are very versatile.

Split the difference, get the 5168.
I highly doubt that you can’t do a bit of simple arithmetic to work out the time elsewhere on the Earth, but if that’s too taxing (or you’re just a lazy sod) then the 5164 would make the most sense overall.
Does it make the 67 redundant – yes if you need to have the second timezone displayed at weekends too.
Then again, who’s to say what’s rational or not, except for yourself – decide what you fancy, then go for it!

As for the 5164 having no date window, and being seen as a bonus… well I’d consider a date sub-dial as a detractor, not to mention the two holes at 4 and 8 with non dial-coloured discs below them!
Aesthetic preferences are rather personal, as you can see, so you’re best to use your own judgement there.

Agree, but to be honest, I'll take any combo.
