5167
I purchased a 5165 earlier this year, I would have preferred the 5167, but my dealer didn't have one and it was a week before the first price increase of the year so I took the 5165.
I had two other pieces on order which I was not going to get for awhile, and the Aquanaut was on my list to pick up later, so I snapped it up before the price went up. That being said I am very happy to have the 5165. I think it's a huge improvement from the previous aquanaut, and I find myself wearing it almost all the time. It's durable, casual, and does not draw a lot of attention, but it is as finely crafted and finished as any other watch I own.
Good Luck.

5167 Aquanaut....opinions?
like the watch, really just want something different... interested in opinions on the watch from owners and non owners
5165
I purchased the 5165 a few months ago, primarily because I passed up the option to buy a 5167 a week earlier. As a new watch collector, I think it offers a lot. It's subtle, durable and certainly not heavy. There was an interesting post a few months back ...
Yes!
I also own the 5065, but the newer 5165/7 series are such an improvement - strap, face etc... Personally though, I prefer the 5165 as the 5167 has this annoying white half-marker on the dial where the date appears. Makes it look as if the watch was desgne...
I think you will find the 'grey-brownish' tone of the dial appealing...
...as well as the lovely gold tone of the 5167' hands. Go for it if you like it!Good luck. {Samuel}...
