IMO There are several angles to consider the world time watches.

A) 24 cities and time zones at a glance (albeit not adjusted for day light savings) vs one other time zone for 5164: does your work and/or personal life involve working with different cities in the world (such as conference calls with people in various locations in Europe, Asia and North America) ?

B) The basket weave guilloche is wonderful: is that something you enjoy looking at ?

C) It is more of a dress watch vs the Aquanaut: What is your style and what are your requirements ?

Hope the above items are useful for your decision

During my ownership period, I have to say that my affinity for it has only grown stronger. The size is excellent, it’s complication is most useful if you need to keep track of more than 2 time zones, the lugs are the most interesting (my opinion) of the o...
