Good afternoon to all of you,
While i've already make up my mind to ahead with this, nevertheless, i would hear your opinion on the reference above. Especially about the fact that this is not necessarily a gentlemen's reference.
Additionally, if you have to already own one, please share your experience 
This watch has all the PROs for me, such as size, complication, look (especially the color combo!) and somehow the price. It used to be 52k when it came out, but now at 55k, so more or less still fine.
The CON has to be the Water Resistance really and that's in. Nothing else. One could argue about the price, but looking at 5167A for 21K, i'd rather top up and get something complicated in precious metails.

I am not a PP fan per se
but this is my fav PP 😍 what is a gentleman's reference anyways nowadays 🤔 congrats and enjoy.
Congrats on your decision and looking 👀 forward to seeing your wrist shots ! This reference has a
good color scheme and a well balanced dial ! When will you get this watch ?
I tried this watch on last year.
I find the dial to be cluttered. Almost like the watch is trying too hard. And then one of my friends bought one and he absolutely loves it. It’s also very high in resale value- so there’s always an upside 😎.
Cluttered yes, but also symmeteical and with a "meaningful" complication.
One thing that is really cluttered is the fact that they had to cut the nr. 12. to make it fit. That is bothering me a little bit, but only a little bit
The 12 is a bit clumsy...
...they probably could have gone with a double marker of some sort and moved the moon cutout up. But this has grown on me. Would love to see it in person...
If you get the call, take and run....
but you might want to check the price again I'm also hoping my wife can get the call but I will size it for both of us. It's good for both genders.
:)
I was told by the AD that 80% of the clients on the list are men . I will definitelly take it and run.
Less popular opinion
But i do not like this watch at all ! While i find the 5167 /5164 sleek and nice i find all the other aquanaut pretty ugly .. this one being the the one i like the least. I ll stay with the simple 5167A in any form ...
I was on the list for the 5167a for a long time.
Years after i started.to.dislike the date window for some reason. I was on the list when this watch was 18k chf around. Now its above 22k. This, together with the steel bracelet, made me switch to the LUCE. Thank you for the comment. I appreciate comments...
Thanks
As said quite often in watches it is a lot about personnal taste .. no judgment ! Enjoy your aquanaut
Dear Albert, my short answer is go get it. Cheers Henry
It’s size is good for man, including my 17cm sized wrist.
Each to his own
I got it offered and declined because I prefer the case shape of 5164 and luckily got the G some months ago. Too much going on here as well imo. But you must like it and not us 🥂
Always loved this reference....although I'm on the list for 5167A.
Hope you will get it 👍
