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 about the 5165 vs. 5167 and people's feelings regarding the size and comfort. If you have the chance try and locate that post. If I had the chance again, I would probably go for the 5167, but hindsight is 20/20. I still enjoy the watch a lot and I think it was a good first purchase into the Patek family.
5167 Aquanaut....opinions?
like the watch, really just want something different... interested in opinions on the watch from owners and non owners

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}...
