Demand for 5167
Is the 5167 still difficult to find at ADs?

My AD had one in the case just last week.
But in general seems kinda rare to find "in stock" at ADs. Not as rare as 5711s, but still not common (at least in Florida ADs). Plenty of 5164s I have found thou... |

I'm lucky and got mine the next day from my AD.
Without knowing that this watch is "hard" to get, saw the pics of watch in the website and call few AD locally and got it. |

Depends on where you are looking. In Japan it's a 3-4 year wait list. About 5 years in Korea.

I was 0 for 3 with the US AD's I've walked into this last month. Two in Vegas and one in Connecticut. But yeah like some of the above comments, these lists aren't nearly as long as the 5711's. The patek specialist at tourneau in caesars had like 3 ppl waiting for one.
She did point out the exclusivity factor though. Said something like tourneau receives 10% of the 15% allotted to the US. Which if they make 60K a year, equates to like 2.4 watches. I have no idea, it was Vegas, I drank, I'm sorry. |

if you you are persistent and with a little bit of luck. Don't see the problem
of course this varies depending in the area that you are searching

They are very hard to find in Europe. Grey dealers have them though.

Thanks to all for the input. That gives me a feel for the situation. I have to drive a ways to get to a Patek AD, so I'll make some calls and see what I can find.

If you want on a list, ask for Vladimir at Reis Nichols in Indy. They don't have any in stock though, and when they come in, they go to customers waiting for one.

Demand for 5167
I placed myself on the list for one in Singapore. Waited for 4 months. Now I have it. Now I don't want it any longer. Go figure...
Still double sealed so should be able to sell it easily (I hope). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I usually prefer white metal watches, except for the Aquanauts, both are gorgeous in RG and leave me cold in SS
