If this was not a PP, would you desire it in the same way? What would you be prepared to pay if it was another make?

I was offered one by my AD, I only bought it to add some diversity to my collection as I don’t usually own sports watches. I really wanted to love it, but honestly there are far better timepieces for the money, even at AD price. To me the aquanaut lacks style, it is almost tacky.

I have tried to avoid the PP hype many many years. I even sold an AC to fund my grail watch (an IWC MR). But I definitely have fallen in love for this 5164R. It completely convinced me. DESPITE it is a PP. 😎And have bought it a few days ago. See my other ... 

Thanks a lot, Lars!

Honestly so well balanced. Wears so good. I like the larger 42 mm variations but the one you tried on is a great travel watch. Love my Aquanauts. ...  

Spot on!

Keep trying with your AD, too…

Euro 149.500 at the beginning. Not 145.000. My mistake.
