Presicely, my dear Watson
I was in exactly the same situation and decided to do what our mutual friend suggested (i.e. see the watch and try it on before you make a final decision).
I had all but decided on a 5165 - until I saw them together at the same time and went for the 5167. This is not a refection of which is 'better' but simply personal preference - and go for it! (It is surprising how seeing a watch 'in the flesh' does differ from images - however good - and we have seen a few great ones of the Aquanaut here recently!) Forza, e in boca lupo!
size question 5165 Vs. 5167

Size
I have a 5167 and a friend of mine has a 5165. You can clearly see the difference in size between the two watches: you would not confuse one for the other. The website is clearly wrong. Patek measures its watches the same way so what you see on the websit...

Patek do make mistakes by the way...
For those of you who have the 2009-2010 catalogue, check out p104. The 5167A is in fact a picture of the 5165 (also shown on p 107)

thank you for your feedback so far. interested to hear more views from out there, if any.
i made the mistake of not
trying before i buy. I was really dissapointed with the 5165 as it felt to small on my 7 inch wrist.i quickly sold it and only re purchased the 5167 at the begining of the year. Theres a noticable difference in size and the dial colour is far nicer as wel...
