Yea, 3 Nauts does seem a bit much. Is the 5164 worth the money? I'm concerned that the 5167 might be too thin.

A piece I've always been interested in, but haven't had a chance to try. But to be honest, at that price I might just go for a datograph.

5167. One of the coolest PPs there is.

Ok, look like I ruled out another nautilus and am going with the aquanaut. What's everyones take on the 5167 vs. 5164? Has there been a consensus or poll on the topic? Thanks all for your insights.

Yes, you might be right, but I'm thinking more about how it fits my collection.

I'd go 5164 and 5712

Two underestimated pieces in the current lineup

The 5167 became common as muck ages ago

But just get what you think is best and don't listen to us!

Well, I already have the 5711 and it took me ages to find one. I'm not sure the fact that the 5167 is common bothers me as it's all relative and any Patek is not really common out in the wild.

More interesting is the prospects of the 5980 appreciating in value.
