No. I could not wear this watch and only everyday. I think that rolex makes stunning everyday use watches suitable for every occasion and dressing style.
Unless if you have a third one!

I was thinking that the pp5167 would be a perfect weekender watch and I could use my 1675 and pam111 as my work day watches. The 5167 is being offered to me at $18k, lets say my 16610 and gv combine is around $11.8k and i would need to add $7.2k cash, would the deal be worth it from your point-of-view?

I love the aquanaut and tried to do a deal like that a while back myself, but we could not agree in the end.

Anyway, the aquanaut is the perfect, casual patek. I say go for it if you want to, just make sure you can use the rubber band as is so you wont have to buy a new one.

I don't know about the relative value of the 3 watches but only you can tell whether the numbers add up because I believe that looking at resale/market value doesn't take into account the emotional aspect of the purchase decision.

And to me, buying a watch is mainly emotional...it may be partly rational in the sense that you start by evaluating the numbers, but it's largely emotional, in which case the $ and cents may not be THAT important.

Personally, I would not. But if you like that model much better, go for what makes you happy.

Only if it were the 5167/1A.

Not the one on a rubber strap.

A tough one indeed, I think I would probably do it though. I'm a die-hard Patek Philippe enthusiast and I'm thinking it's probably easier to find another Rolex at a good price than an Aquanaut.

That's a tough call. You have two great watches with the milgauss and sub. If you absolutely love the Patek then go for it. I have seen the PP 2167 on the wrist and while it is nice I think I would take GV or even sub for that matter. I know, and no I'm not just a Rolex nut I am open to other brands. I will agree that if it was the Nautilus I would be in.
