Traded up for 5164R!

My 5167R seemed a bit small and the 5164R wears bigger and has more presence. Also didn't have second time zone watch since losing my Reverso Grand Duo. Got a very fair price including the trade in and enjoying the extra size/heft.

Huge congrats, I saw it in real and it is awesome, I am getting a 5167R soon, sure it looks small but that's what I like, very discreet, plus I wanted a watch with date window as at 45 my eyesight is not as it used to be, enjoy it it's a stunning watch, the SS Aquanauts do nothing special to me, but the RG ones, wether 5167 or 5164 really pop and are special...

Aquanauts are great watches, the R version is even better. Congrats on a great watch!

Wow. Stunning. The more o see you guys wearing this piece the more I like it. I never even considered an Aquanaut. Now I will.
This forum is bad for my financial health.
Wear it in good health
Thanks for the pic.

My understanding is that the 5164 is thicker and heavier, but do they sit differently on the wrist?

Im asking because I tried a 5164 on and it just sat flush and comfortably on my wrist, but I may want to save some money and get a 5167, and after reading your post, I got to wondering if I'd need to try a 5167 on first because going by the impression of the 5164 may not be reliable ...

If I were to acquire another RG piece, it would be the 5164r. I loved the ss 5164 for its perfect proportions and comfort. Congratulations on a gorgeous watch.
