Is it true what they say to me about the 5167A?
Hi eveybody,
I have been receiving PMs from people from the forum complaining about 2 main problems with the 5167A. First, people have told me that even though the 324 movement may be accurate, some consumers have had to get the watch back to the store for 3 consecutive times because of mechanism mulfunction. Second main complaint, stainless steel being too soft and therefore " a scratches magnet",
someone told me that it is so much softer than the stainless steel of the Rolexes... I'd appreciate very much your kind opinions as I am willing to purchase this watch so much, and I have been raising the cash for a long while...last thing I need now is to make of all this dream a terrrible mistake. Please let me know your kind opinions.
Thanks again.

I love my 5167, so much so I bought his new brother the 5164. Love the dial, how it changes color in certain light, love the size as well. Very comfy and light with a pretty good presence. deployant is very good also. scratch magnet? maybe, but not as bad...

You will get scratches - if you wear any watch you will get scratches. Mine has got a large gouge in the bezel that was inflicted by me when putting a bag in the overhead storage bin on a flight. Who cares? I don't pamper my watches as they're meant to be...
