Yes for a 5712 paid retail price, but not for a 5167A.

Based on the current market in London, you would need to add another 7-10k to purchase a 5167A on the grey market. Don't think that's worth it not to mention that the watch is not that versatile.

No way for a 5167A. Both Rolexes are great classics with modern edge in each their own way - and with much more wrist presence than the Aqua.

The Aqua is stealth and underwhelming and wears very thinly on the wrist. It is also very vulnerable to scratches. If it didn't say Patek on the dial, I doubt many people would be in awe of this pseudo-sports watch.

This. I'd personally rather have even one of your Rolexes over the Aquanaut.

Absolutely not for an Aquanat.
